After release from willing captivity, we are sat in a dark room accented with just enough indigo deep purple and emergency red lighting to see 3 steps in front of us…darkness swallowing. We approach a large screen not quite the size of a Jumbotron and not quite small enough to carry alone. Flickering images of events that have unfolded in highlight reel form of the last 5 years of existence play.
Reunited with our tools post hiatus and capture.
Outside:
Repetition, rust, dewy-funky air.
Within:
Re-discovery, emotional blockages freed through the application of our passion, first touch, timid execution that becomes familiar yet new this time around. Connecting and reconnecting memories.
Fervid expression fueled by absence, being allowed to express again.
We are at play, with excitement weaving between error and intention.
Emotions (“Within”) and the visual (“Outside”) are the theme which music happens to accompany.
A most vivid mix from our dear GORGEOUS PORTIS
