One of the most striking electronic projects on the Colombian music scene is Sagan. This Bogotá-based duo stands out for its effort in developing a distinct musical language compared to other groups, creating its own textures through a more deliberate approach to instrumentation and the intriguing vocals of María Mónica Gutiérrez, their singer. Their sound features a graceful blend of dream pop elements, choral arrangements that could at times be described as "ecclesiastical," and time signatures that undoubtedly draw influences from artists associated with trip-hop. There is an encouraging experimentation in the creation of his compositions that is worthy of being heard and celebrated.
That sonic aesthetic has been developing a deep alliance with visual accompaniment And we can clearly see this in his latest video, Two-dimensional. This clip, which features a strange character walking through the desert with a mirror, has scenes that remind us of some of Sigur Rós's work, or some documentaries about the landscapes of lonely planets. Two-dimensional It is a series of brilliantly crafted photographic images., which accurately reflect the changes made to the track. There are no surprises in the editing, but rather moments that aim to become postcards in our memory. It is a leisurely work that faithfully reflects the spirit of the song and can be viewed on many occasions, prompting the search for details on the screen. A good audiovisual product, without a doubt.
