Conor Simpson

For this stark, spellbinding episode of Room 205, director Luis Farfan worked closely with director of photography Conor Simpson, set designer Tamarra Younis, editor Forrest Borie and sound engineer Jon Gilbert to capture the band's mesmerizing live performance while crafting a world of abstract symbols, ambient sounds and cinematic contrasts, entirely elegant and arresting in their own right.

 

BIO

Los Angeles based artist Camella Lobo has been quietly releasing music under the moniker Tropic Of Cancer since 2009. Drenched in romanticism and soaked in themes of solitude, mortality and love, her music forms a strangely hypnotic connection with its listener. Lobo’s majestic vocals, warmly cradled by waves of ascending synths, plangent guitar, and foreboding beats, summon the listener into a world of dark decadence and delicate beauty. Formerly a duo with minimal electronic artist, Silent Servant, Lobo has enlisted the assistance of Taylor Burch to help execute her music in a live setting.
