With luminous rainbow tones, the music video for Matt Evans‘ recent track, “Firn,” draws its name from a geologic term defining the “liminal striation between glacial ice and snow.” Crafted in VR by visual artist Gracelee Lawrence, the piece is inspired by the work of Devra Freelander, a sculptor, eco-feminist artist, and Evans’ recently passed partner. “Firn”‘s combination of technologies and themes expands upon Evan’s practice of worldbuilding with his music, resulting in an audio-visual work that references the tangible but lives in the realm of the ineffable.⠀ ⠀ Evans and Lawrence discuss the piece’s liminality, layers, and limitations in the following Q&A: https://bit.ly/redefineglacial⠀ ⠀ ///⠀ ⠀ Matt Evans’ album, touchless, is out now, following his previous work, New Topographics.⠀ ⠀ #MusicCritic #MusicJournalism #MusicCoverage #MusicReview #MusicReviews #MusicJournalist #AudioVisual #MusicVideo #MusicVideos #REDEFINEmagazine #REDEFINEmag #VRVideo #VR #3DRendering #3DVideo #Glacial #Nature #GraceleeLawrence #DevraFreelander #MattEvans @matt_evans_in_the_simulation @gleeleelawlee @virtualstudiovisitnetwork @material.grls @devrafreelander
To an impresario like Japanese musician MASAYOSHI FUJITA, switching from vibraphone to marimba is a move that doesn’t come lightly. His latest album, Bird Ambience, contains the spirit of intrepid exploration; the first sketches of a master artist with a new toy. And like a lifelong film director playing with digital for the first time, Bird Ambience features a healthy sense of explicitly doing things that weren’t available before. The dynamics of wood versus metal are surgically tested, the unique resonance of organic material is given enough empty space to ring out in full.⠀ ⠀ Read & listen to the new album, BIRD AMBIENCE< out now on @ErasedTapesRecords -- https://bit.ly/redefinemarimba⠀ ⠀ Album review by Allen Huang @therealhojo⠀ ⠀ @Masayoshi.Fujita #MusicCritic #MusicJournalism #MusicCoverage #MusicReview #MusicReviews #MusicJournalist #ErasedTapes #Marimba #Vibraphone #AlbumReview #AlbumReviews #JapaneseMusician #JapaneseMusicians #REDEFINEmagazine #REDEFINEmag
