The second single from the long-awaited new recording project from China Forbes, the Voice of Pink Martini, is “Rise”, a personal and uplifting tribute to Forbes’s friend and former Pink Martini bandmate, percussionist Derek Rieth, who lost a long battle with bi-polar disorder and died by suicide in 2014.
The official music video for “Rise” will premiere worldwide on Wednesday, September 7, during National Suicide Prevention Week. The video was produced by filmmaker Joanie Fox, Howie Bierbaum, AJ Gordon and Sascha Fix. Fox and Gordon co-directed the video on location in Portland, Oregon, and the nearby Columbia River Gorge, with editing by acclaimed Portland-based filmmaker Jacob Pander. In addition to Forbes, the video features members of Portland’s Lions of Batucada, a Portland-based Brazilian-styled marching samba ensemble, co-founded in 1996 by Derek Rieth, along with Pink Martini percussionist Brian L. Davis. The song “Rise” will also be featured in the upcoming feature documentary film Beatlore, about the life of Derek Rieth which is also being directed and produced by Fox.
