Second in what I plan to be a series of “map videos.” This is a tectonic map of the earth produced for the German school system in the 70′s. I see a strong correlation between maps and songs ... both take the infinite chaos of the world and shape it into something comfortingly comprehensible. Thousands of kilometres of rugged coastline represented with a simple line; an extended period of intense emotion reflected in a few minutes of organised sound. A map or a song can only ever be a shadow of the complex beauty that inspired their creation, but under the right circumstances they can shape a new reality with its own intrinsic beauty. A beauty that speaks authentically about the nature of human experience while being happily one step removed from the sometimes remorseless brutality of its crude state.

Canadian solo book will be interesting!

Drawing, 19/3/2014. I can’t afford a record player, so I can only fantasize about being a real hipster while I sit around drawing rubbish on scraps of paper.
