STILLZ, Yuki Chiba 'Separated At Birth' by STILLZ
Promonews - 26th June 2025
Acclaimed director STILLZ is renowned for his striking visual work with global artists - and now he has made a bold leap into the world of sound with the release of his own album of ambient and experimental music, accompanied by a hypnotic longform visual, shot in seven different parts of Japan.
The video is a lush, cinematic experience, fusing raw urban energy with a surreal, meditative calm - featuring Japanese icon Yuki Chiba, who acts as a spirtual anchor to the piece that moves seamlessly between realism and dreamy abstraction. Within the shapeshifting narrative, Chiba's presence provides a stoic grace, grounding the visuals in a sense of cultural and emotional gravity.
This unquestionably marks a significant artistic evolution for the director-turned-composer. In the project - a collaboration between production houses WeOwnTheCity, CANADA, and PUSH Japan - STILLZ delivers an audiovisual immersion. It’s a raw, honest, and unapologetically avant-garde introduction to his voice as a sonic artist - and completely absorbing.
