Premiere: Sunju Hargun & GiGi FM channel cosmic energy in 'Lens of Time' music video
An intricate soundscape of organic percussion, haunting vocals & Thai heritage brought to life through mesmerising visuals
Sunju Hargun and GiGi FM have released the music video for ‘Lens of Time’, a track from Sunju’s debut solo album, ‘The Golden Triangle’, on his label Siamese Twins Records.
The album blends tribal, experimental, deep techno, and ambient sounds, drawing from Thailand’s musical heritage with a modern approach.
‘Lens of Time’ builds its pulse from unconventional percussive patterns, weaving together organic textures with GiGi FM’s ethereal vocals. As she explains, “We drew on traditional Thai instruments from the studio, blending them with live recordings of my voice—both for singing and percussive elements. Poetry added another layer, grounding the track with an emotional, almost narrative dimension.”
The result? A contemplative yet mesmerising soundscape, where haunting rhythms oscillate between jazz-like fluidity and ritualistic intensity, and the music video mirrors this otherworldly energy.

The music video shot by Leo James features GiGi FM alongside two Thai contemporary dancers, Nora Tara and Pavida Wachi, with visuals that flow seamlessly with the track’s shifting textures.
Traditional Thai dance elements flicker in black and white, layered with spectral imagery that deepens the track’s mystical aura. As the rhythmic beats intensify, the dancers become shrouded in smoke, culminating in a celestial sequence of hands drifting through the void.

As GiGi FM reflects, “Our work together became about tapping into something much bigger than ourselves—this grand, cosmic interconnectedness. Time, for us, wasn’t linear—it felt collective and expansive, a thread connecting our experiences, traumas, and creative visions.”
