In the crowded field of electronica Christian Fennesz has remained pre-eminent, transcending its fads and subgenres, and probing beneath its shiny metallic surfaces to meld form with content. \"The music enacts a remarkable black hole, a pit opening up, a cloud of unknowing\u201d - David Sylvian<\/p>\n

Aeterna<\/h4>\n

Aeterna by James Nestor \/ Allison Pelissier<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aeterna is an attempt to return to a more subjective interpretation of storytelling, a group experience that removes the screen, the director, and concrete visual references, allowing the participant to dictate her own journey. The intention is to reconnect us with ourselves. Instead of words, Aeterna uses a new medium: conjoined frequencies. These vibrations serve as a foundation upon which participants create an internal world, as real and vibrant and visual and emotional as anything we could experience in the material world.<\/p>\n

Each description, each cluster of frequencies, will look and feel different depending on a participant\u2019s experience, perceptions, and mood. These worlds are ever-changing and growing every time this story is experienced. No two interpretations will be visualized in the same way, no two interpretations will ever feel the same.<\/p>\n

Inspired by technologies developed in the 1930s by famed Austrian psychoanalayst, Wilhelm Reich, Aeterna gets its name from the Latin aeviternum, the mode of existence that logically lies between the timelessness and the temporal experience of material beings, sometimes referred to as \"improper eternity.\"<\/p>\n

Created by James Nestor<\/strong> (SF \/ USA) with Light Engineer, Allison Pelissier<\/strong> (CO), Orchestration by McKenzie Stubbert<\/strong> (LA), and Production by Michelle Grenier<\/strong> (SF)<\/p>\n
