Berit Gwendolyn Gilma is a Grammy-nominated artist, creative director, and explorer of extreme pop-cultural worlds. After working for music legends such as Danny Elfman, she is now venturing into the limelight herself. Together with musician Christian Fuchs (former mastermind of industrial-rock pioneers Fetish 69), she founded the project DER KLEINE TOD.
Der Kleine Tod– SAND
Seayou Records 2024
It is among the most mysterious songs of the legendary duo Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood. On the one hand, a hauntingly beautiful love song with a sixties soundscape. On the other hand, the melancholy look at a summer affair with an inevitable breakup. "Sand" fascinated generations of music fans. An ode to love and transience, now reinterpreted as a dark electropop tune with an avant-garde touch and a human theremin instrumental. Between a gentle synth-heartbeat, whipping percussions, and exotic instruments, the song creates a hypnotic pull of sensual melancholy. The accompanying video was filmed in Berit Gilmas childhood garden, a water plant nursery. An enchanted place inhabited by amphibians and waterlilies. It beguiles with natural mysticism and flashy psychedelics.
