LA-via-Detroit based audio-visual artist Diamondstein has set the lofty goal of “examining the space between logic and emotion.” The masked figure has emerged, seemingly out of the ether, with the startlingly vivid video for “Nat Sherman Arpeggiator,” off of a forthcoming EP titled The Ridges.

Directed by Jason Michael Roberts, the visuals for the tune match the driving, brooding tones of the music with the contortions of dancer Ana Szimhart, until with no notice, everything turns to colorful chaos in as much as a puff of smoke.

What follows is an arresting bout of psychedelia. By the end, you may be questioning if you’ve just been inceptioned with illuminati propaganda or not, but either way, it’s a pretty rad viewing experience.
