Vessels – Meatman, Piano Tuner, Prostitute (feat. Stuart Warwick)
The concept for this song came as a vision of colours and shapes while listening to the music for the first time, the music developing and undergoing complete change reminded me of an insect metamorphosis, i thought specifically of a firefly and that led me to explore the light painting effect. Another interesting fact about the firefly is that it uses its glow as a mating signal. I guess Stuart`s intention (the songwriter) can be referenced here – the one about sexual awakening, i thought of it mostly as a sensual rather than sexual but i think that there must be something sexy about it too as it does in the end explore an explosion of senses after a period of restriction and exploration within the cocoon.
Polar Bear - A New Morning Will Come
This video was commissioned by Sebastian Rochford, an amazing drummer
with amazing hair, the founder of experimental jazz band `Polar Bear`,
signed to Leaf Label.
I was very dissapointed when Seb didnt want me to use him in the
video, as his head was a fountain of inspiration for me, instead, with
zero budget no camera and locked in a room with an old G5 I made this,
attempting to form something that would compliment the music as well
as sharing some of my own ideas. The music being varied and in
segments I decided to show a visual landscape of evolution and
temporality of the world in constant construction and deconstruction.
I wanted to show evolution of form, forms of beings, forms of thought,
and the perpetual process of its destruction and creation. I combined
archives of vintage educational films with my own textures, playing
with layers of meanings using archetypal(and mythological) forms
constructed throughout history. The main four archetypes used are
cell,sun, egg and the eye: as the four creators of the world on
different levels of interpretation.
