sometimes, in the anywheres, within and about the world, synchronized tunes and proximal views align in a multi-sensory harmony, in those moments a signature mood defines itself in tandem with a sui generis ring.
below, as always, record of said times, when universal rhythms harmonize, and snapshots manifest scene soundtracks…
effectually, this is the space in the studio where the lyrical and visual cohabitate in a collection of phono-photographic composite creations; it’s a photo gallery with linguistic riffs and lyrical bits contextualizing said imagery.
so, without further ado…
