This Collaboration

Dusk Thoughts, is a collaboration between Emelie and Daniel’s perception of music, time and space. We were paired together because of our similar interests in music and desire to learn from each other throughout this project. Early on we spoke extensively about elements we could use to describe our state of mind during each development of the project to help convey what we were feeling through sensory experience associated to sound and visuals. Both Daniel and Emelie tend to recount memories visually. Which influenced Daniel to begin the music in open and floaty sounding way, and to Emelie it felt almost like flying.

The later part is less of a colour and more so recounting a memory, as Daniel attempted to recreate the feeling of walking through forests in Rockwood (where he used to live) while composing that part. Without discussing these visual cues with each other, but simply reacting to the music, Emelie felt drawn to the emotional weight of being alone in a dense forest. Thus, Dusk Thoughts was created.
