MASK (Sonja Kristina and Marvin Ayres) Sound and Vision

August 31st, 2010 · Posted in Video Of The Week 479


Sonja Kristina sings and Marvin Ayres plays the violin on this haunting theme from Mask, their entrancing joint musical collaboration. They perform ‘Sound And Vision’ wreathed in clouds of smoke that suits the mood of a strangely hypnotic melody. It will entrance millions of YouYube viewers around the globe in the coming months. And all those attending dates on the upcoming Curved Air tour featuring Sonja will also get their chance to be mesmerised. She plans to screen the video at Curved Air’s UK shows which run from September 29th to October 22nd.

Stand by to download the single that could easily become a major hit. Electronica rules OK.
