Once Upon a Time

A live-recorded performance session - intentionally minimal, vulnerable, and real, with sound and image captured in the same moment.

Once Upon a Time, cover

Miri - now a successful entrepreneur - originally studied dance and singing in Vienna, and wanted to record this song because it means a lot to her.

On piano: the wonderful Bettina Bogdany.

We recorded it raw and natural, and I tried to keep the visuals just as vulnerable and real. Because this was a true live recording (vocals + piano captured at the same time as filming), we were deliberately limited in what we could stage - which ended up being the point.

Recorded at Klaviergallerie Wien.
