Revisited

This evening I saw a violin performance by my friend Mari Kimura, which she had set to my butterfly animation from last December. The combined violin+animation performance is called “Voyage Apollonian” (a name Mari and I had decided on together).

I had seen Mari perform this piece before, soon after she had composed the music. Yet somehow this time — hearing and seeing this again after most of a year had elapsed — it seemed like a far deeper experience. I’m not sure whether this is more because Mari has had months to work through the piece, or because my own distance from the animation now allows me to more clearly experience the combined performance.

In any case, it’s fun to see one’s own work with fresh eyes.

And of course, it doesn’t hurt to have great collaborators. 🙂
