Dryads

The spirits that inhabit trees awaken in Sonic Twist® ‘s “Dryads.” Opening with Bruce Arnold’s guitar shimmering like wind in the forest, the video finds dancer Hilary Brown (the Dryad) in her leafy home and emerging from its trunk. Vocalist Judi Silvano sounds the echoing calls of other Dryads to awaken. At first almost transparent, the Dryad becomes more corporeal as the video progresses, and the spirits rise into the treetops, where the sun in the high branches becomes hallucinatory and the Dryads celebrate. In a change of pace, Bruce and Judi conjure a musical gust of wind; in which the dancer is tossed about, but then, drawing strength from the leaves, the Dryad subdues the activity and reverts to her tree form.
