An interesting visual exploring a type of digital nature in the new music project "Flows" recently released by Freska and with music video collaboration by AUJIK.
PRESS RELEASE
In "Flows", the two artists Freska and AUJIK tried to visualize and voice the paradox of nature, which is its refinement and primitiveness and creates a conflict of these two categories, leading to chaos in this world, through which evolution is born.
Refined nature consists of evolved technology such as robotics, artificial intelligence, cybernetics, DNA manipulations, and body enhancements. The Primitive includes fauna, flora, and the Earth itself with its precious stones, minerals, and metals. The pulsating foliage and advanced interfaces that emerge in the biosphere serve as sacred artifacts, visions of a futurist environment. Through crossbreeds of biotic and technological systems, animism for the Digital Age presents new possibilities for evolution and strives for Post-Human nirvana.
Freska's sonic palette is not ashamed of its deep blend of traditional sounds and modern rhythms, and tries to immerse the listener in its idea of narrating a described state of nature.
Ambient landscapes, dreamy chords, classical guitar and unhurried beat ' Flows ' is imbued with the sound vision of a natural interaction and evolution.
The 2 versions of Flows are available on all digital platforms through Freska imprint ‘Freska Musik’.
