All words (some snippets used as spoken word):
Deconstructing a dreams symbolizes the process of breaking down and analyzing one’s belief systems, structures, or ideas. It represents the need for personal growth and transformation by questioning established patterns and ideologies. A dream indicates an urge to dismantle outdated thoughts or behaviors in order to make room for new perspectives and approaches. It signifies a desire to explore alternative ways of thinking, allowing for personal evolution and enlightenment. This dream invites the dreamer to challenge deep-rooted beliefs and embrace a more flexible and adaptable mindset. It’s a call to embrace change, embrace self-discovery, and embrace the courage to question the status quo.

Way of working “video”

  • For the video 3 layers of different videos are edited to have 3 streamsof dreams stories
  • The 3 layers are used in VDMX to construct the visual where theopacity of each layer is altered by a sequencer clocked to theinstruments.
  • Each layer has a dedicated sequencer which speed slightly getspushed out of general speed by LFO’s.
  • Each layer is a stream of analyzing of breaking down and analyzingone’s belief systems, structures, or ideas, sometimes in harmony sometimes disturbing each other, resulting in a discovery embrasing change.
  • Effects controlled by the low, mid and high input from the UAD set up.
  • Logo at the start/end added in Adobe Premiere Pro (plus some minor video optimization.
