To celebrate the 75th birthday of the Scottish psychedelic folk singer Donovan, his long-time friend David Lynch has directed and produced a video for I am the Shaman.

David Lynch's surreal visuals, nonlinear narratives, and bizarre sounds beautifully bleach the anxiety—ridden soul within us. His obsession with sound and experimental approach as a musician and sound director can be experienced through his short films and music videos. The claustrophobic terror and voyeurism are intensified by women's voices and sounds in The Darkened Room; the anxious whispers of a woman or camera following the sound of a boat piloted by Lynch in Boat; Lynch’s playful object-making in Lamp, where rhythm machines and dissonance collide; the humorous sound farce Out Yonder Neighbor Boy, featuring two fool-like characters, Lynch and a young man, distracted by off-frame sound effects and threatened by the shadow of a giant boy; Industrial Soundscape, which reimagines Eraserhead scenes through cycles of industrial machinery movements and noise feedback loops; Bug Crawls, Lynch's unique olfactory aesthetic, where Kafka's The Metamorphosis-like bugs produce unpleasant, pitiful noises crawling through the house; Intervalometer Experiments, a moving image that predicts and observes shadows rampant amid changing light and time, sound attacks, and landscape exposure through optical machines; I Touch a Red Button, a strange video created with the rock band Interpol's Lights, screened at the 2011 Coachella Festival; Wicked Game, mixing Chris Isaak's music with footage from Wild at Heart, winning the 1991 MTV Awards for Best Video; and I am the Shaman, a space fantasy made with folk rock master Donovan, a fellow transcendental meditation advocate like Lynch, invited into Lynch’s darkroom as an "auditory-visual" experience.
