Hainbach - Light Splitting

Berlin-based synthesist Hainbach and filmmaker Julian Moser came together for Light Splitting, an audiovisual project based on Hainbach’s eponymous album title. Moser decided to work with the limitations imposed by isolation during lockdown, eschewing the macro to look more closely at the microscopic world inside his home. Using an antiquated MiniDV camera, glass, water and the morning sun, Moser finds the psychedelic in the microscopic, pairing Hainbach’s gauzy synth explorations with gently shifting images of light, captured at a low-resolution and then played back at half speed.
