This new music video for my song “O Soothest Sleep” was made possible by the Nevada Arts Council Jackpot grant and really excited to share it! Produced by Zen Ritual Creative Services, the music video interprets the concept of my song: sleeping to experience other realities. Allen captured some strikingly beautiful shots of places in Las Vegas including Wet Lands, Spring Mountain Ranch and Calico Basin.
