Four music videos with soundtracks composed and performed with Brooks Williams at Harmonic Ranch. Blue Swee is a Jamaican word used to describe things that are hard to describe. This video comments on the US invasion of Grenada using images recorded in the South Bronx. Run is a postmodernist treatise about language, materialism, and travel. Blind Beggar's Prayer was recorded in Morocco and shows the difficulty of cross cultural communication and understanding. Black Fire is based on a Kabbalistic meditation in which one focuses on the area surrounding the light emanating from a candle.
