New-York based musician and improviser Yonatan Gat joins forces with Rhode Island-based Algonquin drum group the Eastern Medicine Singers, in this energetic new music video from director and photographer Gigi Ben Artzi.

Gat has a reputation for crafting mind-bending tracks that seamlessly blend elements from other musical traditions—in this case, the First Nations. Filmmaker Artzi explains: “The drums are pulsating, repetitive, ritualistic—creating music that becomes a religious ceremony. I wanted to capture the timeless feeling of being put in a trance, like in the centre of a snowstorm.”
