Man x Woman
Music video Man x Woman combines the science of cymatics with a story of utopian love. Two futurist artists (Full Crate & Mar) play a curious table of liquids that trigger natural elements of water and earth, in search of the perfect woman. From crumbling clay rises a dancing diva resonating with the beat of the music…
“The clip comes to life. Slowly but surely the music starts to take on more and more visual forms, minimalist synths and drums resound in the splashing puddles of water and crumbling clay.”
a metaphysical glittery cut R&B trip
Full Crate and Mar star in this ethereal visual for their collaborative “lights-out” club-ready romp “Man x Woman.” After dropping the sonics earlier with over two million listens on Spotify, the Amsterdam-native electronic duo play that glittery cut against a surreal narrative, featuring Full Crate as an ominous mad-scientists rocking a very Minority Report-esque contraption. The video tells an imaginary story of an utopian love. The artists duo bring a perfect women to life from blocks of earth using the vibrations of the track. Music, desire, femininity, forms and matter come together. Featuring dancers Rubiën Florens Vyent, Cheraine Baljé and Devon Suriya Abdoelhafizkhan.
“The Amsterdam-native electronic duo play that glittery cut against a romantic dystopian narrative, featuring Full Crate as an ominous mad-scientist-type rocking a very Minority Report-esque contraption.”
