FLOW STATE

Our figure is standing on the end of Doorway Rock, looking out to sea, into the blue yonder that is the twisting sky.  

The dark, deep waters below Doorway Rock are also twisting, creating a sense of being in that perfect FLOW STATE, the title of a collection from which this piece is the linchpin.  

 All we have is now is another way to say live in the moment, be mindful of our actions, of our surroundings, of the impact we can make, and leave behind us.  

This location is over 10 hours drive from our home, and some miles off-shore. Wed visited at the same time of year, every year for 3 years, but the light was never quite right and the weather conditions too rough or squally for the footage we wanted to create. But on our 4th visit, in the year of 2021, the light, weather and water gave us the perfect opportunity to take to the skies.  

In this space defined by duelling forces, time shifts unevenly through the ever-changing piano arpeggios and skittering drum patterns. We stand on the edge, pulled in opposing directions, unable to answer the questions proposed by the score and unsure which is the true path.
