Washington.lnk.to/YouTubeID Silencio was inspired by the philosophies of David Lynch. I was trying to explore that perfect endlessness that he leads us to in his work. It’s written from the deepest place I know how to find.
Last September, against the swirling backdrop of a chaotic and uncertain world, I had the surreal privilege of being able to mount three live concerts in support of Batflowers’ album release. It felt like an impossible thing to even imagine, but I threw myself into the process - conceptualising the show (a black and white silent film), directing it myself - with a beautiful ensemble of incredible musicians and vocalists from my home town.
From the art direction, costumes and music to the incense burning in the theatre, we created a whole other world for a few hours each evening. A world of equal and opposite extreme, a world of beauty, and stillness, and song. Watching these performances now, I see quite clearly that pure luck made them possible - and I feel equally lucky to be able to share them with the world. Keep going. X
