DESCRIPTION: This is the second video to illustrate music from my album 'Midnight in Havana'. It is a tribute to the composer Eric Satie and the title 'Velvet and Absinthe' references the 'green devil', absinthe, and the velvet suits favoured by the composer. The clown make up references the traditional french clown character "Pierrot'. The fact that he is on his way to work in the city in no way implies that bankers are clowns (ahem).
