“Waterlogged” - Original song and accompanying music video.
Artist Statement:
I have been embracing my solo creativity over the course of the pandemic. I used to act professionally in theatre and was always in a show of some kind. The pandemic threw me into an identity crisis. Who am I without this thing that I do? How do I satisfy my need to actively create and transform. I turned my frustration and angst toward music. I have since released an EP and Single under my band name “Blind as Bats”. I challenged myself to learn the ins and outs of production, recording, mixing, and mastering as well as promotion and industry stuff. All of my content is self produced. This song “Waterlogged”, is actually going to be the single release for my upcoming album. YOU ARE HEARING AND SEEING THIS BEFORE ANYONE IN THE WORLD!!
My inspiration for the video was a combination of the techniques we learned throughout the supercut module and the collage module. I wanted to employ elements of color and placement. I also wanted to embrace the juxtaposition of a truly sad song overtop a hopeful image: finding life in creativity at home while writing a song about death.
ENJOY! (And maybe give my other stuff a listen?)
