In Their Words: “‘Buffalo’ is the story of Rio. He and I worked together for years as river guides in Patagonia, Chile. Rio is a seasonal worker earning just enough each summer to come back and work another season, with each passing year his body showing more wear and tear. ‘Buffalo’ voices Rio’s dream to someday retire to a buffalo ranch at the foot of the ocean. It’s a song about growing old with dignity. The animated music video is a collaboration with acclaimed filmmaker Benjamin Boult and is a take on what creativity was able to look like during the pandemic. We asked several visual artists to each draw a scene on digital art programs. Their art is transformed into a series of time-lapse images — from sketches to full color — all drawn as the artists listened to the words and music of ‘Buffalo.'” — Jenner Fox
