The project aims to find a common ground between two different, but still complementary, mediums – music and image. From Sound to Pictures - a thrilling journey while discovering new universes and creative possibilities.

Brain Rain is an indie-electronic band from Brussels. Its strong visual and distinctive sound cought the attention of the young film director Romain Vennekens. Romain believes that these sriking sonorious features can serve as an interesting departure point to experiment audiovisual ideas : by juxtoposing, entertwining and colliding sound and images. Therefore, we believe that music video can serve not only promotional purposes (such as raising the visibility of the band itself) but also, due to its short format, provides a creative space for those visual artists hunting for innovative forms and new ways of visual story-telling.

This crowd-funding campaign is aimed to collect the necessary budget to accomplish the shooting of the music video for the song “Maybe Tomorrow Will Be Longer“. A young and motivated team of professionals (who believe that their talent and young energy will bring good results) agreed to collaborate for free on this project. But even with all their goodwill , technical and logistic constrains remain. And that is the reason why you are reading this.

“It’s like warmness slowly beating through the freezing tubes”. The project was launched in Brussels, in the very end of 2010, as an effect of the collaborative decision made by two musicians: Gota Slick and Eliza Lozovska. The broad spectrum of previous experiences – from classical instruments, through the punk-rock and post-rock bands, until latest individual experiments with electronic sounds – is putting the creation of Brain Rain into frameless frames: cold, slow, severe, edgy but inevitably sensitive. While in the beginning Brain Rain was exclusively studio project, experimenting and searching for its unique sound, from 2011 the project started to be visible on the stages of Belgium, France and Germany. In the end of 2012, Brain Rain was selected as one of 8 semi-finalist (from 164 bands) of electronic music competition "Concour Circuit Electronique" (Belgium). Additionally, in February 2012, Gota Slick (producer), was selected to participate in Berlinale as a composer/sound designer for the Berlinale Talent Campus 2012.

The story will follow the journey of a mystical character, a kind of a modern fire priestess (performed by Clémence Warnier). A dreamy trip throughout Brussels - city that will become the board game for oppositions and complementarities. Between fire and water, light and darkness, ancient and modern.
