As Barcelona-based composer and DJ Gunsal H. Moreno—nom des decks beGun—toured his home country, he saw his profile steadily rising on the buoyancy of his music: an airy form of electronic music that takes rhythmic and emotional cues from house while also drawing from the pulsing minimalism of Terry Riley. He released his debut, AMMA, to great fanfare in his native Catalan last year, and with the arrival of the AMMA RMXD LP comes a new track, “Namibe,” whose video we’re premiering today.
The track begins on a simple, slightly woozy beat that, over the course of its seven and a half minutes, builds from trickles of sound into a full-fledged widescreen anthem worthy of the vast desert spaces of its titular country. The video—shot all in black and white—takes us there as it follows a woman making her way home to be reunite with her family, the clip and Moreno’s song cresting together in emotional harmony. Check it out below.
