about
"The Bouquet" was the one of the first pieces in the process for the album At Dust— for which all of the rhythms and textures on each track derive from a simple initial gesture. The gestures in this song are very connected to movement, and started as a motion tracking to MIDI fragment. The lyrics start from Jacques Prévert's poem "Le Bouquet,” which spoke well to my experience of joining movement with sonic energy. I sent the track to Matt Norman (Lily and Horn Horse) who did something stupendous with the layering of the horn solo! "Blue" by Eiffel 65, and "Crazy Frog" by Axel F were reference points for the design of the video, and Peter Nichols (Banny Grove, Nicey Music) gave the green screen footage I sent a full Teletubbies style treatment. The 8mm video style puts it out of time, in some kind of utopia that promotes body positivity and dedicating plenty of time for working on music.

what are you doing with those fresh cut flowers?
what are you doing with those flowers dried flowers?
what are you doing with those fading flowers?
what are you doing with those flowers dying flowers?
what are you doing there?
what are you doing there?
1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1
what are you doing there?
