- So here's the good
news: looks like "Where You Once Belonged" a FLAT
documentary will be released this year. The long
delayed project clearly now has the narrative
established (which is most certainly NOT the narrative
that started the whole project - but that's par for
the course with my docs) and this song will play a big
part in why there was such a shift. This song that I
actually released
TWO YEARS ago...
-
 -
- ...which
effectively BROKE the project. I don't actually want
to get into too much of WHY it broke the project...
you can read about the meaning of the song in the
entry from 2022 - but suffice to say... a couple
months later when I was supposed to be writing
the album? I bought the VR180 camera. And the
rest as they say... is history. It's pretty clear that
where I once belonged was intercepted yet again
by an attraction to doing something never-been-done
before. Back then it was 4tvs. Today it's VR180. You
really can't go home again sometimes.
But in order to tell that story I do in fact have to
at least attempt to produce a song, even if it's as
elementary a production as this. But that's kind of
the truth about songs within The Journey: they're
snapshots of fleeting emotions and producing the
snapshots is almost alike photoshopping an old
picture. You have to be careful or it no longer feels
the same. It's different than normal pop production.
Something I still honest-to-goodness know is in me,
but damnit if I'm not enamored with being the first to
tell so many of these life stories in this new format.
And if losing the Super Bowl hasn't ripped that
feeling from me? I don't know what will.
-
- So I leave
you with a nice video that's really cool in VR180.
-
-
- I gotta say... I'm
very lucky I can make something like that in
like... an hour. Video and all. That is one of those
talents that actually doesn't need recgnition to feel
good. It's pure communication, it feels good to
complete and hitting upload sends it into the ether of
time. Maybe it touches a handful of people and they
remember that feeling... maybe it gets lost forever in
a sea of entries no one will ever have the time or
reason to experience. But that's art. Sometimes you
just have to get it out and move on.
