MUSIC VIDEO

THE RELEASE OF THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR "SING ME TO SLEEP" WAS PUBLISHED ON WALKER'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL ON 2 JUNE 2016. AN ACCOMPANYING MUSIC VIDEO FOR THE SINGLE WAS SHOT IN HONG KONG. IN THE VIDEO YORDAN KOSTOV AKA WALKER #22 (WHO PREVIOUSLY APPEARED IN THE MUSIC VIDEO OF "FADED") AS WELL AS TWO OTHER WALKERS (A MAN AND A WOMAN), WALKS AND RUNS IN THE CITY OF HONG KONG IN ORDER TO COMPLETE HIS MISSION HE WAS SENT THERE WITH. HE HAS TO FIND THE TWO OTHER WALKERS USING CLUES, CIPHERS AND NOTES IN CHINESE TO ACTIVATE AN AVI-8 DRONE TOGETHER (ACCORDING TO THE “MODERN WALKERS PROPHECY DISC”). EACH ONE OF THEM WILL BRING DIFFERENT PARTS OF IT. DURING HIS RESEARCH #22 WANDERS THROUGH THE CITY'S BACK ALLEYS, SOMETIMES LOOKING BACK AND RUNNING AWAY FROM SOMEONE, MOST LIKELY AFRAID OF BEING CHASED. THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO, THE CAMERA FILTER TRANSITIONS FROM NORMAL TO THERMAL SENSOR, WITH SOME BUILDINGS AND PEDESTRIANS OCCASIONALLY GLITCHING AS THOUGH FROM THE VIEWER'S POINT OF VIEW. AT THE END, THE THREE CHARACTERS MEET UP INSIDE A WAREHOUSE IN AN INDUSTRIAL BUILDING, WHERE THEY ASSEMBLE THE DEVICE TOGETHER, WHICH PROJECTS WHAT MIGHT BE A HOLOGRAPHIC BLUEPRINT OF AN AVI-8, AS THE VIDEO GLITCHES AND ENDS.

WALKER NOTES

SING ME TO SLEEP MUSIC VIDEO WAS POSTED ON JUNE 2RD 2016 AND THE SONG ITSELF ON JUNE 3RD 2016. SECRET PLATFORM WAS OFFICIALLY PUBLISHED (AS FAR AS IT’S KNOWN AND ACTIVITY STATISTICALLY PROVEN) ON JUNE 4TH 2016, THAT IS THE NEXT DAY. SO THE SMTS MUSIC VIDEO WAS ORIGINALLY A MAGNIFICENT TEASER FOR THE WEBSITE RELEASE AND DID NOT DEPICT THE DRONE ACTIVATION, BUT THE START OF SOMETHING MUCH MORE THAN THAT.
