Absent Fever // Exquisite Corpse
What can only be properly described it’s curators Tyler and Eloise have drummed up a neat project that features some of their finest artists on their label roster.
Composed by impulse and the stream of consciousness, seven juxtaposed artists came in union to create one collective vision; distinct and furthermore one. Seven of the Absent Fever artists collaborated to create one 7 minute song. Each was given only the previous artists 1 minute to base their 1 minute off of, and was told to compose from solely initial creative reaction. In result is a 7 minute long guide through the soundscape of Absent Fever. Videographer Library Voices then interpreted the entire stream of consciousness into a visual depiction of the landscapes visited. It sounds almost like an afterthought of a global-travel, and looks like it too. As if the sounds are soaring between the ivory coasts of the equator, wrapping their presence around the sphere. The travelers collected grains of sand and salt, blizzard and air-currents from each dwelling passed. Country, to corner, city, to village, without realizing, they’d had pieces of everything. And somehow, the diversity compiled itself into something more together than they could anticipate. Each had a map of their travels ingrained in the palms of their hands and the wiring of their subconscious; when each sat to make song, the song was together. Their were seven travelers, and their retelling of their voyage was one.
