A visual called “MORES”

Cyclical Dreams asked SONICrider to make a visual/video for “MORES”.

The visual became a sort of dream or hallucination mixing reality – love + industrie + nature + war + behavior + waste + …..

Technical aspect: visual made with VDMX and used the frequencies of the track as controllers for mixing clips, adjust opacity, change colors, etc.

MORES “the visual”


A fine ELAPSUS review by Sylvain Lupari


About ELAPSUS

Recorded August 2022, Valkenswaard, The Netherlands. 

All tracks are played live, recorded in stereo and mastered by Jurgen 
Winkel 

ELAPSUS (Escaping) is the reflection on the escaping behavior humans embrace knowing not caring about the planet is a short sighted attitude. On the other hand escaping reality is sometimes a necessary action to keep track in the time we live. ELAPSUS can give a peaceful escape, inspiration and energy to be positive about the future. 

Thinking about this topic “escapism” I’m convinced we need to be one  with the universe, being part of it, not ruling it or changing it. 

In the Latin language, 
“MORES EFFUFIENDI NON AUXILLIUM FIET UNUM CUM UNIVERSO” 
means, 
“ESCAPING BEHAVOIR WILL NOT HELP BECOME ONE WITH THE  UNIVERSE”. 

The 8 words of the Latin sentence became the titles of the ELAPSUS 
chapters. A story needs a sort of start (incipit) and an end (exire). As a 
spoon for the minds ears “temporalis” are 9 tracks connecting the 
chapters in a (sometimes) surprising, attention-grabbing, smooth, 
intruding way.
