The main idea of the work focuses on the interpretation of an animating force, a meditative journey through the propagation of sound. The piece manifests through the use of ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response). The rich sound of cicadas which constantly appears and dissapears in succession with the ASMR psalms, intends to create a divine field of energy, a return to a land that awaits to be touched, an esoteric world of spirituality. The interior of the warehouse where the sound plays from on repeat, symbolizes a setting of humility and contemplation: the warehouse is a metaphoric dimension of a sacred land.
Concept, sound design and editing by Anastasis Karras & Dimitris Batsis.
