Silence and soundscapes of water and mind in Iceland and the North Sea.

There are theories about the origins of water. There are stories about the origin of sound. Both are essential to our existence, yet, ironically, we do not know where exactly they come from?!...

During an inevitably sensorial journey around Iceland and the North Sea waterscapes, I heard a lot from water, something other than human although it comprises most of a human... At the end of this conversation now, I know that soundscapes can alter consciousness and that metabole-ism is the essence. Everything flows. I am. Water. In all my states...

I created a meditative video after this month-long listening session. Neptunian Flux is a single-channel piece that drifts between abstraction and recognition, between outer (micro)landscapes and one's inner states. It breathes with and listens to water's moody, ungraspable, impermanent states. Water appears here as a a liminal and perceptual substance and force. Slowing the act of looking into a more primal and intimate one. Take about ten minutes with me and breathe deeply, as you listen/watch:

soundscapes and consciousness

Traveling alters consciousness, and sound is one threshold...
