about

Low Between Zebras is Episode 1, Part 3 of Underworld’s DRIFT series. The film draws inspiration from stories gathered through their collaboration with the Manchester Street Poem project.

"The original brief for the film was inspired by a story I heard from a lady who had begged on the street and how she had watched the world every day from low down to the ground. How legs & feet moving around & past her, always ‘going somewhere’, reinforced her own feelings of going nowhere." Karl Hyde

lyrics

LOW BETWEEN ZEBRAS (Drift Poem)

Drift  
Liberation 
The happy wanderer
 Journeying without purpose
 Traveling, directed by intuition not target 
To move through places with no other objective,
than to experience the moment 
Detached from normal days
 Baggage-less 
Going to places to find out what it’s like
  Slider
 Frictionless
 Skater
 Roller 
Perpetual motion 
Moving with ease 
No end goal  
An open book into which things fall  

Gypsy  
Roamer  
Nomad

Drift
Frictionless movement
Moving across
A landscape
Not in a straight line
An unpredictable end point
Not traditional geometry

Is it even possible to predict the end point of a Drift journey?
A resting place of wind-driven snow
An object in motion by wind or water or land mass

Nirvana
Heaven
Time is not the master.
Time made the servant
Time is linear…? Perception…?
Movement changes perception of time...
Drift through time
In a moment
Forever changed
Forever altered

THREE is fantastic! ‘Bloom’ is pure, unpredictable, relentless sonic nectar. The Necks are an animal machine, painters of landscapes that make my head feel good. - (Karl Hyde - Underworld) Underworld
