Voodo Uprise
Video Installation2021
This 2025 music video by Mystery School of Sound features music by Paul Cummings and video by the Cummings twins. Drawing influences from Childish Gambino and Hiro Murai, the aesthetic evokes African tribalism, ancestral masks, invoking the mysticism of voodoo, animism, and nature's supernatural forces, featuring the hyena, the snake, and birds.
The video showcases modern brutalism, post-industrial factory settings, and military choreography, with formation dancing paired with massive, intimidating sounds. The music is inspired by Afro culture, live drum circles, and African drumming traditions. The track blends industrial electro and Afro beats, created through modular patches and procedural music.
This deep, unapologetic dance track creates an intense trance-like state, building tension and anticipation with a sublime, overloaded beat that demands to be felt.
