Premiere: Watch a Video for Cio d’Or’s “XXII”
New track comes from the Cologne artist's forthcoming second LP
Cologne “sound architect” Cio Dorbandt (a.k.a. Cio D’Or) has been creating eerie, minimal works for over a decade now, releasing on an array of labels and collaborating with the likes of Gabriel Ananda and Donato Dozzy along the way. In 2009 she released her lauded debut LP, Die Faser, on Prologue, and later this year she’ll turn out her second, all in all, this time for Svreca‘s Semantica imprint. Ahead of that, she has shared with us the striking video for album track “XXII.” Directed by the29nov, the video is an undulating throb of liquid plumes, shadows and abstract shapes that’s a little redolent of the otherworldly landscapes mapped out by Andreas Fischer to accompany Egyptrixx’s A/B To Infinity album. It can be viewed in full below, ahead of the LP’s full release early May, with the CD and EP following shortly after on May 19 on Semantica.
