NYC artist Jason Trachtenburg searches for his center in new music video

March 31 14:18 2021

“Searching For My Center” was recorded in Brooklyn, N.Y. at the studio of Vincent Cacchione. The music and lyrics are by Jason Trachtenburg and Mother Pigeon. Mother Pigeon is a noted New York City street artist most known for her realistic soft sculpture pigeons made from felt and wire. Mother Pigeon created the costumes for this video. The overall concept of the video is to make use of nature’s gifts to enhance your wellbeing and to work with your community for spiritual and physical health, giving back to those in need, to mature emotionally, and just as the wind blows and the grass grows there is a lifecycle that moves us along in our journey and connects us all.

This music video is a joint collaboration between Jason and Tina Trachtenburg (of the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players,) under the direction of noted filmmaker Dylan Mars Greenberg. The theme is “The Day of The Dead.” This video was filmed on location in a secret cemetery in Ridgewood, Queens, New York City, as found by our location scout, Caitlin Shann. The characters involved are a few of Mother Pigeon’s alter egos. Through Mother Pigeon’s Mexican traditions, she has combined her love of nature, the super-natural, and her religion (the Pigeon Religion,) to create a panaramic landscape of colors, costumes, magic, and friendship.
