A Moment Set Aside
This project started as the name suggests with some time out.
I was working with Rob on ideas for the EP and we weren’t making much progress so decided to change things up and just have a free improv without trying to pressurise ourselves into making anything “good”. So that’s when the good thing happened. The whole track is pretty much as it happened at the time with the feeling of open expression and a musical conversation of some sort as we reacted to each other to form the emerging arrangement.
For the video project with Dimitri Thouzery we chatted about forests as a visual counterpart for taking a moment out to be immersed in rich form. When I’m feeling stressed the forest is my favourite place to go. Dimitri collected 3D scans of nearby forest floor locations and told the story beautifully with a nod towards something greater than just the forests themselves.
