Reviving nature - (Art residency)
During March this year I was fortunate to take part in the Art Residency ”Reviving Nature” in Chang Mai Thailand. Hosted by Studio88
"In June 2023, Studio 88 called for applications from artists from anywhere in the world to shed light on one of the most pressing issues of our time: pollution. Through unique artistic expressions, we seek to raise awareness, provoke dialogue, and inspire meaningful change regarding the detrimental impact of pollution on our planet and its inhabitants. This open call aims to harness the creative force of artists to bring pollution to the forefront of public consciousness and mobilize action toward a sustainable future"
Ultros
Unloading Bad Thoughts.
Visage; the Demiurge recreated in likeness of the Shamans. As they unload their burden upon her in hopes of shortsighted redemption.
Can there be?
Or will the Shamans be held accountable for penance tenfold?
Alas, it will all upon someone else to sort this mess...
The Gunk
One must purify the soul, until it begins to sound..
A composer is a musical instrument, and at the same time a performer on that instrument.
The instrument has to be in order to produce sound.
One must start with that.. not with the music.
Through the music the composer can check whether his instrument is tuned and to what key it is tuned. (Arvo Pärt, May 31, 2014)
The Dreamgenerator
In an attempt to stretch the idea with the Ratvader's Dream album even further me and Oridnary made an audio visual playlist generator. A safe haven of music and sound to make life a little more stress free.. Loads of great music and new feelings in this one. Click the link below and dream away. ❤️❤️
