We can swiftly be swallowed up in this digital labyrinth, losing touch with the subtle impulses and rhythms of our being. Noise from the outside world can baffle the senses causing us to become estranged from ourselves.
The song came first from the seed of a dream, and then a painting called A Soothsayer Lately. I researched different ways to animate. It can get really complicated, so I settled on the simple method I used in my previous animation Agatha’s Secret. Creating frames in photoshop and importing them into iMovie.
I hardly know myself
What is a name but a ghostly refrain
I live in a conch shell
A giant conch shell
Suspended between the I and the me
We love, we grieve umpteen impermanent desires
Cast away this sorry scheme of things entire
We float, we trawl
enthralled by transient desires
We want, we crave
enslaved by primal powers
We come undone
hard won and instantly devoured
My wish unseen adrift
My wish, my wish adrift
Hello, hello, hello shadow
La, la, la, la
We love, we grieve
We love
My wish, my wish adrift
Hello, hello, hello shadow
Thanks for visiting!
