Rome based musician and actor Richard Wølf has just premiered on Jammerzine(US) the new video for the track ‘Seeking’, from his debut album ‘Hybrid’.
SEEKING is a song about a spiritual quest carried on among different scenarios. In the videoclip you can see the same character acting in different dimensions, showing the idea of a multiverse in which each person is linked with other versions of himself/herself despite the time and space (the Whachowski sisters’ film “Cloud Atlas” has deeply inspired it).
From a musical point of view SEEKING could be seen as a crossover between epic rock, industrial rock and alternative music.
The entire album HYBRID is deeply influenced by 90’ and 00’s rock and metal music, and SEEKING doesn’t betray this mood, moreover it added a touch of epicity which is necessary to stress the mystical aim lyrics and the video.
From an aesthetic point of view SEEKING uses the code of the sci-fi films and literature, trying to push your eyes beyond the simple reality and let you be as visionary as possible.
“And if we really get lost and even the skies are not enough, where do we turn to if not inside?”

Not by chance, the album features a cover of one of the most challenging songs ever written,Bowie’s Life on Mars.
‘Hybrid’ draws from several kind of sounds, mixing the elegance ofWagner’s inspired classical music, the energy of hard rock and the electronic futuristic approach.
