CATO CANARI BABY (I LOVE YOU)
C R O N I N F I C K L I N G  2 0 0 5  /  4 m  /  D V C a m
d. Martin Fickling & James Cronin

MUSIC PROMO

Cato Canari grew up in a tiny village trapped between the ice cold sea and the mountains on the northwest coast of Norway. Not content with hunting and fishing he discovered disco music, escaping first to Norway's second city, Bergen, before a brief sojourn in the capital, Oslo, made it clear to him that he needed to escape nature forever and find a concrete asphalt he could call his own. So he moved to London. Sitting on the top of his high-rise ‘penthouse’ in one of the grimier boroughs of East London, he released the album ‘Out of Tune’ for the Norwegian Drum Island label.
Taken from the album, the Baby (I love you so) video abstractly pulls on Cato’s inspirations for urban and nightlife culture. The video depicts a nocturnal flight through London’s urban environment from the perspective of a domestic hamster cage. We follow the hamster as he helplessly observes the beauty and darkness of the city streets, until he reaches daybreak.
