A Different Kind of Light

A Different Kind of Light

A Different Kind of Light is the lead single from Osaka EP, the third of four multimedia projects documenting experiences in Japanese cities.

The track is a theme for a city fizzing with an almost sci-fi intensity at its centre, a city so big that its edges are blurred. The track bathes in the neon signage that illuminates with an effervescent resonance reflecting the cultural uniqueness of Osakans.

Site Nonsite

Site Nonsite is a project researching and documenting a connection to place. The site is the source, a place rich with scattered information and experiences; the nonsite is the resulting document, a multimedia abstraction of that place. (These guiding thoughts are adapted from land artist Robert Smithson’s 1968 Theory of Non-Sites .)
