Video: Alphanaut’s Back to the Stars

Back to the Stars

“Back to the Stars” is the first single from Alphanaut’s forthcoming LP Little Sun, due out this summer. The album is a concept-driven work about the life cycle of Dingo, beloved dog to Alphanaut’s driving creative force, Mark Alan. Dingo passed away in October 2009 from Canine Lymphoma and each of the album’s songs is a chapter in the story of his life. Eight of the thirteen songs on the album are told from Dingo’s perspective, including “Back to the Stars.”

The animated video was directed by Tonda Ros and “features Dingo as he leaves Earth to explore space, visits friends from the past, and ultimately transcends into another universe and time.”
