neumund

Nudity and Antiquity or a seductive combination. Add dolphins for a playful counter balance, or abstract/surreal touch. The visual counterpart arrived after recording was complete but sprung from the same well of inspiration. A little time traveling and the pinup suddenly becomes a less threatening and more nostalgic entity, and those sepia tones and aged prints reflect that time when DADA and surrealism were coming alive and these movements were a direct influence on the music created. Abandon the straight narrative and let the sub-conscious write the play for screens and CD
