So these tracks have been left unfinished. I made a decision to maneuver away from electronica and drop the title ‘Bowling Inexperienced’. After seeing some nice visuals by Cameron Poole for David Devant and his Spirit Spouse I approached him about filming in a ‘pod’ that I’d been impressed by at a design exhibition in Granary Sq. (https://makeworkspace.com).
We germinated the thought collectively, utilizing the iPad as inexperienced display this gave us entry to all of the outdated Bowling Inexperienced visuals which I’d transferred from VHS. As all of the outdated footage was fairly low res we selected a glitch 2001 really feel for the entire vid. An idea of genetic splicer emerged, previous, future and current, as the fashionable day pod occupant, views a ‘Cameo meets the Velvets’ rocker dude from the long run and a spartan white Neo glam child from Bowling Inexperienced previous’.
