HYPNO5E
ALBA - LES OMBRES ERRANTED (A BACKWARDS GLANCE ON A TRAVEL ROAD)

French post metal pioneers HYPNO5E have always been a borderline band, in the truest sense of the term: a band that transcend the borders and limitations of not only the genre of music which is commonly considered to be their territory, but the territory of music itself. Their conceptual, cinematic live show has always been built upon a strong visual component... but that was just the beginning of a journey which is now reaching the next level: Alba – Les Ombres Errantes is the first full length movie directed by singer and guitar player Emmanuel Jessua. And his band, HYPNO5E, has turned down their amps, or switched them off entirely, to provide the stunning 75 minutes soundtrack for this ambitious project. Emmanuel Jessua grew up in Bolivia, where the movie was filmed with a team of 7 French and Bolivian volunteers, and a budget of only 22.000€. The result is a breathtaking visual and sonic journey through the otherworldly landscapes of one of the most intriguing places on earth... a journey that orbits around the memories and reflections of a man contemplating about the eternal loss of childhood.
