I’ve had the joy of collaborating with Spinphony electric string quartet on many projects over the years that took us to all kinds of exotic locations. Our latest adventure was in the spectacular Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.

Carmina Uprising is an epic instrumental mashup of Muse’s Uprising and Carmina Burana’s O Fortuna. What better place to film it than in this stark and otherworldly landscape!

The production of this video was a logistical challenge in every aspect, from travel and scheduling delays to the effort it took to film in the scorching Utah desert heat without any shade from the sun or services for miles. Not to mention that we only had a few hours to do it and the entire production crew consisted of just myself and an audio engineer. But, despite all of these challenges, I think we pulled it off and the result looks spectacular!
