Dance Dance Dance with Bon Iver

She has great presence...

possibly one of the COOLEST videos I have ever seen of a random acoustic collaboration. I love Lykke Li and I love Bon Iver it is like a melding of oreos and peanut butter (if you know me that is my weakness!). It makes me want to dance around and enjoy life to the fullest.

For you to enjoy over and over and over again, I know I will:

Soundtrack

I LOVE Sigur Ros more than I can explain, but I'll try. It is the type of music I envision in my head during important moments of my life, sort of like a personal soundtrack. It is a bit of everything.

Jonsi (who has a solo album coming out that I am super excited for) has an angelic voice so that even though I don't understand the words, it doesn't matter.

I have been in several dance pieces choreographed to Sigur Ros music and it is completely understandable. The music is complex and takes you on a journey. I love the use of instruments and rhythms along with Jonsi's voice.

A trip across Paris in a van. Lost drumsticks. A cafe you'd never expect to visit before the age of 60. An hour of waiting, and then, voilà--a few notes on the harmonium, a grand piano, a heavenly voice. Sigur Ros on a Take Away Show.

Une traversée de Paris en van. Des baguettes oubliées. Un café qu'on n'imaginait pas visiter avant nos soixante ans. Une heure d'attente, puis voilà, quelques notes d'harmonium, un grand piano, une voix céleste.

The Initmacy Chronicles: rules and restrictions

Part 5!

I finally got my hard drive recovered from my old laptop and I was able to recover the lost dance videos from it (YAY!!!) This piece was all about using a very limited space (seriously limited!). It is the hallway between my room and Fran's. The doors go to the toilet and the shower that we shared.

I wanted to work with the limited space and see if I could fill it up, fit large phrases into small spaces, play with height vs length, etc. I wish I had been able to film a bit more in the space but this was all captured right before my laptop died and I had no space on my camera memory sticks for videos if I wanted to continue taking photos for the last month of my time abroad.

I remixed the phrases in the video a bit and set it to music by School of Seven Bells, song I am under no disguise.
