i wanted to tell you how we made the visuals for nerve-bloom
i did it with Natalia Kleszczewska and Natalie Liu .

Natalia Kleszczewska is a painter , she painted the creatures and the backgrounds .
Natalie Liu is a computer graphics director , she shaped the digital dimension of the work .
my role in it was a creative director , bringing in the singer-songwriter tradition , where emotionally precise things happen inside the structure of a song . i guided colour pallettes , textures and the environments the music happens in .
to make this possible , during the process , natalia often had to paint many shapes and sizes , different textures and layers of colours . natalie then developed the visuals, designing and overseeing CGI elements , and finding ways for the digital to sit organically alongside Natalia’s world . and include my dramaturgy and creative direction.
we spent 7 months talking and working together , dedicated to relish in the craft of blending hand-made visuals with digital experimentation , 3D design and commit it to physical display technology . a lot of time was spent on researching different tools and techniques to find what worked best at each stage in the song .
like i’ve done before , i wanted to merge old things with tech , giving it soul & a meaning .
to paint a painting is an analog craft but computer programming is craftmanship too !! and both can co-exist ,
.....encouraging each other to bloom even further towards a mutual world .

there is a tradition in pop music for the mucisian to choose a video director . in the art world , this is called “curation” , but where we came from , it was natural that the musician would have strong opinions on what your song needed , which mood , colours , textures & storyline . today this is called “creative director” and it is something we didn’t credit ourselves with in the 90s , but i am starting to understand this better now .

i don´t think of me as a visual artist . because my heart is music . everything i do comes from a sonic point of view .
this is something i have called “sonic symbolism” , sound made visual , a reverse synesthesia .

when you listen to a song for the first time , it is like swallowing a whale , you need to feel the whole musical sculpture in one go .
the structure of a song has always been extremely important to me : what shape it is .
this is part of the craft of being a singer-songwriter

........... we are tune sculpturors .......

since i am talking about the visuals for nerve bloom it is impossible to not mention the avatars in my music videos .
they have replaced the storyteller with anattempt to connect to the more universal element of music , through animation, avatars , puppetry both digital and analog .
for me they are marionettes in a puppet-theatre , hopefully in a similar realm as the jungian archetypes
( which we all can act out the characteristics of ...)

.... i feel nerve-bloom is a natural continuation ....

an animated avatar archetype

singing you a song

Why are you worrying, Anon?

Frolick more.

[Moe AB @MotionAB]

@ElieEv @evanescence @AmyLeeEV Not available in Jordan Either

[E A F @ElieEv]

Hey guys, I need your help making sure @evanescence and @AmyLeeEV know that “Who Will You Follow” is still unavailable on Spotify and other streaming services in the UAE. Just want to make sure they’re aware before the album release day!

[Moe AB @MotionAB]

@AmyLeeEVCrave Bad because they’re not allowing it to be streamed internationally.
It’s not available for us

[Moe AB @MotionAB]

@alohafernandes Will they allow it to be streamed internationally? Probably not.

[Moe AB @MotionAB]

@EVChartsBR I’ve tried to send so many emails, but I’ve never gotten a response. All the fans are saying that it is a distribution error and also all of my research is saying that it is probably a distribution error. However, if you live in the Middle East, you cannot stream this song.
