Hilary Hahn and Hauschka “Draw a Map” (dir. Eric Epstein)

Director Eric Epstein was nominated for a Grammy for his debut video, last year’s stunning clip for Memory Tapes “Yes I Know”, and he again mixes clever visual effects and a gripping narrative in this promo for post-classical artists, Hilary Hahn and Hauschka. The video focuses on a mysterious box, which we see being tinkered with by a female technician and then used in some sort-of human scientific experiment. Finally, the instrument’s purpose is revealed in the uplifting, heartfelt ending.
