Shot at and named after a remote recording studio on a Norwegian island, the footage offers a behind-the-scenes insight into the recording techniques of two of modern progressive music's most talented composers. The content captures Iamthemorning's live set-up from the last three years, with the setlist consisting of songs from their first three studio albums and an unplugged recording of Blue Sea (the first track to be written for the duo's upcoming fourth album and exclusive to the Blu-ray). The studio was designed with panoramic windows that allow the stunning back-drop of Giske Island and the Norwegian Sea to be integrated into the performances (a location that is featured in glorious high-definition on this Blu-ray). Marjana commented, "It was the most inspiring place for us to work in, surrounded by the sea, mountains, wild flowers and gorgeous Norwegian sunsets. All of the natural splendour we don't see that often."
Centrist revelations abound among repetitions & revisitings.
Takes us to locations all around the US and shows us the heavy toll that modern technology is having on humans and the earth. The visual tone poem contains neither dialogue nor a vocalized narration: its tone is set by the juxtaposition of images and the exceptional music by Philip Glass.
A promotional video by Dag Henderson
the film „mandà in lunga“ follows a journey from Val Poschiavo, a valley in the Italian-speaking part of the Swiss canton of Grisons, up to the highest point of the Morteratsch Glacier, the largest glacier in the Bernina Range. Shot entirely on 16mm film and edited in-camera, the film captures the changing landscapes and atmospheric shifts along the way. The journey is musically accompanied by the organ drones and violin sounds of Laura and Luzius Schuler.

This cacophony runs over me, over everything I see, everything I want to see: it's me.
Slowed, stowed, achingly retold.
Your raging romp results only in rescinded regret @ the hands of radder cadets.
Pounding backbeats beaten by [(Don't Get)] warm[welcomes]th.
Abandoning the Abaddon-loathed abandoner opens plenty of reclaimed... everything(s).
Rather pointless, rather stilted, fetid; not what we want us going after.
Locked away but not away; somewhere nearby but unreachable, a periphery so notfaroff it's always in sight.
Return to 'burn' only to find out you're already in that urn.
(Some of us) Still run down the same [mental&emotional] streets we revered/reproached/replaced as children.
Don't ask me why, but I feel we're about to cry trying.
Hiding inside&out, writhing about, taken out&in.
True Beauty is often said to be determined by the eye of the beholder, but many don't open their eyes to see it.
