This time I wanted to play with ebb and flow, with simultaneous rising and falling tones to create harmonies, and softly flowing synths with my favourite P6 vibe with those magic resonant overtones. Visually I was interested in connecting the everyday world to something like the Platonic realm, or at least, our models of what the world is, as an ebb and flow between the two, so I immediately thought of Yoshi Sodeoka's beautiful work and got in touch to discuss ideas. There's a bunch more examples of ebbing and flowing in there too which I'm sure you'll spot. I tried to keep it all super stripped back and focused on that idea, so there's barely anything else in there, I hope it provides some warm pulsations for you, that's what I was aiming for at least! Yoshi Sodeoka This piece is a continuation of my earlier work on the Fibonacci Sequence with Max, in which I use birds and geometric structures as a visual system. I’ve been interested in how natural movement, like flocks of birds, can feel both organic and also somehow mathematical at the same time. In this video, that idea extends to opposing forces. I was thinking about back-and-forth motion, like yin and yang or heat and cold, where things are constantly shifting between states rather than reaching a stable balance. It’s not a clean duality; it's more of a continuous exchange where one side blends into the other. The movement loops and oscillates, without really resolving. The diagram-like overlays suggest something that could be measured or analyzed, such as a system or model, but they're not meant to be exact. It’s more of an imagined structure, trying to map something that is always changing. The birds move through this space almost like carriers of that flow, connecting the physical and the abstract. Overall, it falls somewhere between explainable and intuitive. A system that looks structured, but never fully settles.
