tourist - kin //vár sofandi remix

In the realm where melancholy melodies cascade down rugged cliffs, Echoes from the Abyss was born. Each composition a clandestine odyssey, veiled shadows of betrayal and forsaken love lurk within the harmonies, whispering the mournful tale of a journeyman abandoned in the relentless ascent.

Embarking towards the elusive pinnacle, the journeyman had once woven the symphony of unity with a companion, believed to be the muse of endurance. But the realms of adversity unveiled the fragility of commitment, leaving the chords of togetherness to wither in the icy winds of desolation.

Our melodies are the cryptic echoes of heartbreak, dwelling in the darkness where light falters, ensnared by the cold chains of malevolence and desolation. They narrate the tale of a soul submerged in the shadowy abyss, where the essence of life dwindles into the void of nothingness.

Discover the obscured realms of existence through our music, where emotions bleed into the silence of the unspoken, and the soul is lost in the labyrinth of the forsaken. Witness the tragic symphony of love dissolved into the sorrowful mists of reality’s harsh twilight.

~~~ SOUL FURY ~~~ 
"This is how the heart sounds,
Do not change the melody,
this now, you and I, here together.
Let this being with each
other be heart-sound." 
~ Rumi & Tabriz COLLAB ~ 

All About :: The Art of Collage & Rhetorical Velocity

I am specifically interested in situations where composers anticipate and strategize future third-party remixing of their compositions as part of a larger and complex rhetorical strategy that plays out across physical and digital spaces. We find this type of thinking—the asking of “how might the text be rewritten?” and “why, where, and for whom might this text be rewritten?”—an increasingly important set of questions in a digital age characterized, for instance, by swift, easy, and deep web searching and by copying and pasting practices. 

COLLAGE ::  Artistic compositions of materials and objects pasted and/or sewn/woven over and through surfaces, often with unifying and/or juxtaposing structures, lines, colors, themes in order to create textured, alive, amplified spaces. 

SYNTHESIS (AKA Mashup): Creating Compelling Texts comprised of borrowed, reconstituted, and original material.

The art of creating such compositions.

An assemblage of diverse elements.

To paste and/or sew/weave (diverse materials) over a surface, thereby creating an artistic product.
