In the “$10” music video from intergalactic artist HITCHHIKER, there is a variety of characters. There’s an elephant man and a fish girl all red. The fish on her head actually works as an antenna. She’s able to know everything that’s happening in the world first. In Buddhism and Catholic faith, fish is a religious symbol. Hitchhiker incorporates influences from different belief systems into his vision.
The origin story of Hitchhiker begins in the near future on a satellite circling Earth. As with many traditional and timeless tales, its hero embarked on a selfless quest to change the world. This legend follows a scientist sent a satellite into outer space in order to build an ideal sound that would evoke happiness.
The scientist’s assistant-an A.I. Satellite-worked diligently to collect sounds from across the world to achieve this goal. Unfortunately, age caught up to the scientist, and he joined the celestial dust of the heavens, but the A.I. Satellite couldn’t and wouldn’t give up the journey.
The quest is really just beginning though. Hitchhiker will be landing in cities around the globe to perform, and he’s hard at work on other evolutions, including a whole lot more music, videos and even a toy line.
