Watch “The Making of Insect Ark’s “The Vanishing”, 8-min DIY documentary https://youtu.be/f388ybzBNbk -------------- 11 March, 2021. Exactly one year ago, we were on tour in Europe supporting “The Vanishing”, which had come out the week before. This film briefly follows that story: Making the album, touring it, and all the steps in between...a lot of work. Blood and tears. Sleep was lost. Hands got dirty. After just a few days on the road, COVID came knocking and the whole thing fell to pieces. At the time, along with the rest of the world, we couldn’t know how significantly changed our lives were about to become. -------------- At its heart, “The Vanishing” is about impermanence. It is a deeply personal album in ways I can’t describe with words. I decided to make this short film to recount a story deeply rooted in the primal need to make art, and to communicate through it - no matter the personal cost or difficulty involved. We hope this brings you a bit of light, just as many of us are remembering March 2020, with bewilderment, as we transitioned to our new world order…exactly one year ago. Thank you for listening, and watching. – Dana Schechter, Insect Ark founder -------------- Directed and Edited by Dana Schechter Sound Mix by Nikos Giagkoudakis Album Release date: Feb 28, 2020, Profound Lore Records Album Recorded & Mixed by Colin Marston, Menegroth Studios, Queens NY Mastered by Jennifer Munson, Taloowa Mastering, Yonkers NY -------------- Album Artwork by Sonia Merah
