This has gotta be the most epic slideshow i've ever seen in my entire life

[@CaptainJack2048]

I like this very much. The color saturation choices throughout the piece seem well thought out, and I like what was done with the use of light to increase the contrast and focus as the story progresses. The score is great... it sets the mood of each scene well, and really tells the story that the visuals set up. The tension and release cycle in the music has a nice flow and kept me engaged during the whole film. The long shot of the wall going to the mountains (at 5:33 or so) is good example of a bit that kept me hooked. The lone plant defiantly standing in the bright sun against the stark sky (10:36) is another. I loved the little "behind the scenes" coda at the end. Overall, this makes me feel the way a good blues song does: a little sad, a little wistful, a little hopeful, and a little determined to keep plugging away at life. Very well done, to everyone involved.

[@peterlepahin]

I came here straight from your "Why make music when nobody cares?" video (which I also liked a lot) - this is just fantastic! You never have to question why you should release music again! If it resonates only with one person, it was already worth it - but this seems to resonate with so many of us! Congratulations on the quality of the project and on the music. I wish a million views and as many likes for this video.

[@Salamandre85]

Thankyou to you and Benn Jordan for bringing this beautiful thing into existence. I really enjoyed taking the time to watch this 😊

[@kevtetreault]

The songs, footage, and color grading are all gorgeous. Can't imagine how much work you put into this video. Excellent work man!

[@rabidwasp]

Thanks for sharing that with us Cameron - Watching this was definitely the high point of my day. A superb piece of audio-visual art!

[@TyeMorrisVlog]

17:25 I'm just sittin here enjoying the video and suddenly, "Hey, that's Salt Lake International!" 😂 They threw that airport together in the few years I was living in India, the first time I saw it was when we moved back to Utah from India in December of 2020. When I moved to India, I left from the "vintage" airport we used to have here, and it was a bit of a shock seeing an airport that nice in a little town like Salt Lake haha. Great video, and beautiful music!

[@davidmcgirr]

Incredible color work, both in the visual and with the harmony. It's interesting how this serves to render the border wall as a fact and not a political concept. The whole piece is like a more hopeful Ghosts from NIN. What a lovely thing you've created here.

[@vitalymatveev1084]

So powerful, so skilful - off my chair. The ear, the eye, and above all - the heart and soul, am stunned. Thank you, grumpy cat impersonator from a grumpy granddad.

[@zblumenfeld]

Came here after watching "Why make music nobody cares about?" The visuals and music complement each other really well. Loving the synth and string selection throughout. It's compelling all the way around. Thanks for caring about the art and doing what you do.

[@laurakizim]

This took me out of my tiny apartment in a German city and transported me to places which I feel like want to tell me something. But they're still letting me guess what it is. Thank you for the work and effort you put into this! This was incredibly touching ❤🌵

[@steveboardman247]

Hi Cameron & Benn, I just want to say thank you for sharing your art, you & Benn have created an amazing film, it's definitely something you both should be very proud of, I love the images, music & atmosphere, an engaging & inspiring piece of art that's very well done 👍

[@monkeyfarm]

You should definitely be proud of this, now matter how many people see/hear it. I hope many do.

[@XyloRecords]

I found this video and it's soundtrack made me feel, like I had stumbled upon a very real interlude in my own life. Beautiful work - thank you Cameron and team.

[@ocardaugh]

The music is incredible, while the visuals invoke memories of when my wife and I visited the southern parts of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. I miss those trips

[@flgbanjo]

Amazing work and so moving! The combinations of images and your music are truly wonderful. Thank you for sharing this!

[@nidefawl2552]

Amazing work. This sounds and looks fantastic. I love it

[@MikePulcinellaVideo]

I've been watching/listening to this video over and over since discovering it. Wish I could up-thumb every time!

[@kluanetakhini]

Outstanding creative production. I really enjoyed watching and going along for the ride. Music is amazing.

[@johnmcnally322]

I watched your weird thing buckaroony. It’s fantastic. Thanks for sharing your art!! It was totally worth all the effort.

[@tomtabak]

ive always enjoyed your music but this is on another level! world class record, keep up the amazing work

[@d0ntbeevil]

Wow. You guys, what a journey of sights and sounds!! Bought the album before seeing the images, and now it makes even more sense. ♥ You have captured something timeless...

[@jobrien505]

Having spent 25 former years of my life, lived in New Mexico, I recognize quite a lot of the landscapes (even beyond the White Sands footage). It always looks so beautiful on camera, or soundtracked... even though living there always felt like anything but, that. Great work, both visually and sonically.

[@kailersvsscalers6433]

Agreed with the consensus that the color work is absolutely beautiful. And the music is phenomenal! Some of those shots are emblazoned on my mind. The whole film reminds me of Koyannisqatsi. Very well done man! I love it!

[@AlexisAndre]

I listened to it yesterday - then came back after today's video, with added perspective. Thanks a lot for sharing. Count me in the "people that got inspired by this to just do the thing".

[@sazalamel4749]

Great contrast between the bright imagery and the rather dark ambient music. That swing mirroring itself in the water was my personal highlight.

[@philparker7851]

That is, as they say in these parts, "gert lush". Congratulations to both of you - it's a lovely, wonderfully atmospheric piece of work, both visually and aurally.

[@stevew2724]

I nominate this as the best soundtrack for an independent video made by my two favorite music-making, music-educating, YouTubing, mind-expanding, creativity-sharing, and soul-sharing artists I have come to appreciate and enjoy. May all others who appreciate what you share be blessed by your presence for a really long time.

[@GrandThriftAuto]

Beautiful, thought-provoking, inspiring. Thank you.

[@mimikova390]

After listening to it twice, "It All Bleeds Apart" is my favorite piece in the collection.

[@A_Fortunate_Traveler]

To make things clear, I commented to you both with the same comment. It is astonishing to see how 2 guys take some Thelma & Louise-like road trip and pleasure us with two completely different accounts of said roadtrip. As I follow both and "now" how both of you are opposites in many ways, I will not compare both videos. Albeit I must say both videos touched me in different ways and the experience watching your different videos enrichened me in multiple ways, So thank your Cameron & Benn for not only coming back in one piece but also, and mostly, for sharing your experience in a compelling and immersive way.

[@Sam_Utah]

Quality Ambient Exploration, Art by a real artist. Visually evocative, sonic-ally brilliant.

[@Ed-davies]

Beautiful video Cameron, the desert shots are just stunning, love the bleach bypass look combined with your score. A very enjoyable 20mins 😊

[@RichardPirh]

I walked the st.james (from France to Spain/Santiago de Compostela) like half a year ago. It been something so beatifull that nothing came close since. Now Im at a low point of sorts constantly thinking about the beauty of traveling back then and what I'm missing now. (Now I drink and drive sometimes and have panicattacks). While I cant really grasp the vibe of this video now it gives me a feeling of a new horizon. Thanks❤

[@bugman87]

Thank you for the incredible atmospheric video and music. At some point there was a sense of hopelessness and devastation, but then the devastation of human existence was replaced by the triumph of the power of nature. thank you very much for the video where you explain your ideas related to creativity and the process of creating music. It helps me to respond to my experiences too.

[@NekoAKAJeff]

Love it! Amazing work! I want to hear more of your music. You have an incredible sensibility. MORE!

[@lofidarkambient]

[@mikiodj]

Just, wow. If I was a museum curator, this would be in permanent display. Beautiful work all around, the ending brought me to tears.

[@mutatorro]

Well.. idk why, but this is like the answer for me, what life is about for me. Incredibly moving my emotions to some point where I finally understand the direction I would like to go. Thank you for this. I hope this emotions will stay with me longer than half a day..

[@JerryAGreene]

Nice job, Cameron. I think it deserves another watch/listen! Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@cemsarioglu5947]

This is an amazing and very inspiring piece of modern art. Thank you for creating and sharing such a beautiful work.

[@JHVE]

Best 19 minutes of my day, best 19 minutes of my week, why bother to eat - if you can hear and see this beautiful work of heart felt art, the real rot and decay of America, the loneliness of everyone's reality, Venus and Ben - two of You Tube's greatest, on a journey of dust and Devils. I'm just a drop of water falling, ever falling into the sea, and not even that great of a drop, a putrid drop of unachieved expectations, and the sea engulfs all of reality, can I swim long enough to finish all the records I started in 1984? I paused, I worked for everyone else, around the world again and again, getting farther away from my goals....my drop gets smaller - the sea becomes larger, dreams crashed on an ocean of rocks in the desert, I lay just a pile of broken bones, broken thoughts, unrealised potentials that rot in the blinding clarity of the sun......

[@btterez]

I'm glad I found this project on yours. Reminds me of Crysis 3 soundtrack. Next time would be nice to see some drone videos as well, especially with that music! Thanks for your creative work and for your videos in general. I love how they are honest, well-articulated, visually captivating. One can see you love what you do but you also know the technical part of your job really well. F....n' inspiring. Thanks for that.

[@_DRMR_]

The visuals and music are both absolutely stunning! Very cool trip you guys did and glad it inspired you to some greatness :)

[@dvusGishzida]

After seeing / hearing / xperiencing this I realized how much I missed the limal saces in the wester deserts. Where anything is possible. Thanks for this.

[@somerville004]

An amazing and inspiring piece of work Cameron, well done. It reminded me somewhat of an ancient film series of a decades long road trip I saw years ago, "Road Dreams". It's available on KZbin....

[@MarnixMohrmannPiano]

The music is just absolutely superb, wow. Adding the visuals on top just make this so incredible!

[@jaesindnb6197]

That first shot of “there with you once in a dream” could totally be on an album cover of a band that is from the Midwest reviving late 90’s Emo!❤️

[@AzuriumOfficial]

Definitely has some good ideas worth revisiting. Thanks for going for it with Benn!

[@IanLetarte]

Well done my dude! I think I connected the most with "alone somewhere in it all" but it's all very beautiful.

[@NigelMerrick]

Wow. I was looking forward to this after you mentioned it in an earlier video but I was ill prepared for just how amazing it would be. What a beautiful work of art. Both visually and sonically. The sense of desolation that permeates through this is almost visceral, stirring primitive emotions of longing at some indescribable thing that’s been somehow lost but not forgotten. Congrats to you both for creating this, and for all the hard work, time, and effort you put into it. Truly remarkable work 😊

[@richardrandomk]

So, having watched the 'what's the f*cking point video immediately before this, I was anxious to see what you had made. The first four chapters were suitably abstract and detached, but 'somewhere within that stale infinity' was definitely a shift in gears and hinted that this might be heading in a particular direction. And 'an end yet to come' did not disappoint; over those two chapters the video achieved a cohesiveness you don't expect to see in the absence of a narrative and with such minimal raw visual material. I think that, in the end, your music and Benn's visuals perfectly complemented each other. This is the best 20 minutes I have spent on KZbin in a very long time. I will share, thank you.

[@Kilohearts]

Beautiful work! Congratulations both of you :) /George

[@Babyloneus]

Awesome audio, and loving the visuals with it! I'm enjoying the journey through this... Thanks for putting this together :D

[@michelgregoire7051]

Really enjoyed this. Lovely colors and atmosphere. Thanks!

[@dpomberger]

Thank you for this great video journey and the great music. Had tears in my eyes, as the music represents my current mental state so great ...

[@anthonynorris97]

This was absolutely fantastic, it was a very nice and accurate visual album you created. Wasn't sure what to think while watching but I'm glad you made it. Plus now I have more ambientish music to study and chill too :)

[@DanielFicca-i6f]

Thank you for creating music, it awakes something in my spirit that otherwise would stay hidden.

[@DavidSmith-ne1zp]

With every play through, my appreciation deepens! Over a dozen plays and I'm still hearing new things and becoming further captivated by the visual story. Highly motivated now, and want to do something like this for myself.

[@JosuaKarlson]

This is breathtakingly awesome. Please do more of that kind of contenet!

[@vraalten]

Wowwwww!!! Magnificent scenery and shots with an outstanding soundtrack!! Bravo!! Keep up the great work!

[@zhenin174]

color correction is insane!! You are genius! Amazing! Very inspired by your work! Music🤌

[@margoalex.]

The colors are so pretty ugh I feel like every one of these stills should be a photo I’d find on Pinterest somewhere

[@treecanopy]

Wow!!! ive loved all of your tutorials! they've been super helpful and easy to digest, Thankyou!! This project is AWE-SOME! Fantastic work from you and the crew. Big ups from "Spook" the junglist, from NZ. Keep em coming!

[@trioofone8911]

Very cool visuals, especially-for me-the stark landscapes with beach, water, and hills in the distance. And oh by the way, the music's great too. Lol

[@penleigh]

I love it. Thank you for your art

[@oscarvgaa]

I really enjoyed it. 'It Bleeds Apart' gave me some old-school modern warfare vibes and even brought some nostalgia.

[@leanof-618]

Hey Cameron! Been watching your videos for some time now, but this is another level! I myself happen to like photographing rusty dry decayed beauty imagining what was and could become. So this speaks dearly to me. Never mind views and likes. You’re on the right track and a true artist, just keep pushing the boundaries.

[@nishigawakobo]

Cameron, that was great! Really affecting photography and composition, and lovely music. Thanks for doing this! It adds to the world, it inspires. And ❤UVI!

[@creatorsvillage]

I've watched this on repeat for about 90 minutes. Great work, love the music.

[@shawnmurphy4757]

That was incredibly well done. Thank you for sharing it. I'm glad you decided to leave the airport footage in.

[@riosorio]

excellent harmony between footage and soundscapes

[@JF_Auran_Music_OFC]

In love with Ghosts of the southern line

[@profitsandloss]

Good work! I love the slight Wes Anderson vibe of your color grading and the breathing effect of the camera movement adds a nice voyeuristic touch to all of this. Beautifully scored. Really captures the dystopian aspects of 2023 USA as well as giving a sense of space and abandonment.

[@stephenbreitling2327]

very nice! great music and beautiful pictures.

[@Packbat]

These are amazing vibes, visual and musical. Love the way "An End Yet To Come" starts and builds, and love how "Alone Somewhere In It All" acts to end it all.

[@BenjaminMooreinJapan]

Really inspiring, both for the soundtrack and for the cinematography. Did not expect to be as moved as I was by the final chapter.

[@vaspers]

This is really fantastic. Love how it builds and morphs. Incredible musician collaboration. 2 of my top favorite synth gurus combine their amazing talents. Wonderful images.

[@RichardReeman]

Some of these scenes are otherworldly. Beautiful work!

[@forsale313]

HOLY (You know the Rest), Thanks for this work of Sound/Art. You always AMAZE!!!

[@interstellarcastaway]

Really lovely work, Cameron. This stuff is very much in line with some of the creativity I aspire to. You're to be commended for putting your art out there...takes guts.

[@1EddieDennis]

Cameron, thank you for making and sharing this, the video and the music are amazing

[@edwardaverilliii1658]

Just. Cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@Topcatyo.]

This was mesmerizing to watch, great work overall but the cinematography is top-notch, and amazing job with the soundtrack.

[@Gopher86]

Worth every minute. This is on the same level of a movie score from Atticus Ross as an example. Beautiful soundscapes, haunting sounds, amazing depth in the production. I knew you together with Benn couldn't possibly disappoint.

[@munkduane]

This is an absolutely gorgeous piece of art. "An End Yet To Come" and "Alone Somewhere In It All" particularly resonated with me. Fantastic work to all. I'll keep an eye out for the Coffee Table book ;)

[@glareneon]

This is wonderful! The synergy between music and images is outstanding! So inspirational!

[@jagannathasutadas638]

Hey Cameron, I have no idea if you'll read this or not but just felt compelled to let you know that this movie has given me such a special boost to finish my own Album. The shot @0:56 where you show the old bank which closed in 1904! Well this is the name of my album, one which I've been working on for a very very long time!! As i'm in the process of getting the last few tracks finished on it now, this shot gave me goosebumps when I saw it come up! Thank you for continually inspiring us creatives with your content.

[@AllOneKind]

"It All Bleeds Apart", such a great track! Amazing work from end to end!

[@crashandrun]

Wow, this is great!! Kinda remembers me of films like Baraka (1992). Awesome work, want more. :)

[@TripTilt]

Awesome Music! My fave is "An End Yet to Come", best Audio/Visuals, closely followed by "Somewhere Within that Stale Infinity"!

[@brightonmischief]

Incredible filmography and beautiful music! Breathtaking work!

[@Paul-uy1ru]

Stunning! Thank you for releasing this piece of art.

[@EricWatkins7]

Man, I love your work. Thanks for putting this out in the world.

[@adrimathlener8008]

love the desolate landscapes that gain so much power with the music. Can we please have a Part 2

[@mardimusic]

I just love wordless songs! This is just amazing!!!

[@theoryofmine7473]

Pre-ordered the album on Bandcamp. Great stuff. Discovering your channel has spurred me into writing again.

[@ArkentMusic]

Cameron, don't fool yourself (as per your comments in a recent video). You have music fans. This is outstanding on both the music and how it's tied to the film. Very nice.

[@analog-j]

This is an incredible and inspiring video both in both music and visuals, thanks so much for putting this together. I'd love to be able to create a project like this one day. Keep up the incredible work!
