07.26 mix

August has been off to such a rough start that I almost quit this monthly mix endeavour altogether but alas here we still are. If you’ve got a case of the dissociative summer blues this one might be for you.

My favourite outing last month was the Water Architect audiovisual release/live performance at Casa Obscura. In addition to performing the released work in its entirety, Kevin also treated us to its wonderful (as of yet) unreleased companion and then closed the night with a 15 minute dance party. I am still trying to wrap my head around the scope of creative density and intentionality permeating these collages. The kind of profoundly human art that reminds me of the many reasons why we continue to consider, engage and create across/through space and time.
