Cyriak doesn't make traditional music videos, but that's the easiest description for what he does (unless you want to go with his preferred tag of "creative brain-spillages," which is a bit more accurate). "Because" is his latest clip, a self-portrait of sorts, taking a random photo of his face and creating a 3D universe that's both absurd and amazing. --> watch "Because"
Moones are marooned on an iceberg, with nothing to do but rock the time away while sending out some SOS calls. Everything goes wrong — frostbite, spontaneous combustion, a sharpshooting lynx — but director Peter Sluszka depicts everything in a flurry of creative, lo-fi energy that being stranded seems like a fun option.
