After a much-anticipated creative break, singer–songwriter Kārlis Būmeisters is thrilled to present his new song and music video, both of which were beautifully captured using a 16 mm film camera. The music for the song "Varbūt" was composed by himself, while the lyrics were penned with his bandmate Valters Sprūdžs, a collaboration that fans have been eagerly awaiting.

Kārlis: "I am pleased to finally bring to life a song that has resonated in my mind and recordings for quite some time. As usual, the basic hope remains the same when writing songs that do not aim for current beats - that each listener can grasp the true message. Songs do not always have to say something; sometimes they need to be able to ask questions."

In addition to Kārlis Būmeisters the recording of the song it also involved Valters Sprūdžs (bass), Raitis Aukšmuksts (drums), Kristaps Rullis (pedal steel), Edgars Jass (keyboard), and Jānis Kalniņš (guitar).

"We deliberately allowed the sound to remain unadulterated, as there must be a moment for the mind to engage. Often, it is enough if you manage to capture that moment as it is. As long as it seems important to me, such songs will be created, paraphrasing the old masters - for my pleasure and, hopefully, for the pleasure of others," adds Kārlis.

The music video shot using a Bolex cine camera and 16mm film, was created by director Māris Ločmelis, cinematographer Elīna Matvejeva, lighting technician Jānis Kukulis, and assistants Artūrs Lūriņš and Gerda Ločmele. Inese Kalva did the makeup.

Kārlis on filming: "The song has been given significant value by the master of his craft, photographer and director of the song's film, Māris, cinematographer Evija, and the entire professional team. The song now has its film - a 16mm film wrapped in several rolls. Māris is a practitioner of capturing fleeting moments, and I must say, analog aesthetics and vibrations appeal to me. Our understanding of the expected result was similar. From the director comes: "Lights, camera,..." in the studio, there is a sound similar to the sound of sewing machines, as the film captures the moment in its true form. This time, however, Māris went a step further, and as a result of double exposure, the moment, through the photons already captured, was captured again in the atoms of the film. The magic of it all is that there are no actual edits. How it turned out is how it is. Like a concert."
