about
Movement is an exploration of the beauty found in the fleeting moments of youth, when risk is synonymous with fun. Crafting a narrative within a limited timeframe (2:30) presented a unique challenge, inspiring a division of labor between each release element to provide context.
One distinctive choice was using a title that is never mentioned in the piece. Movement is not merely symbolic, but also the name of an annual music festival in Detroit, held every summer.
The collage cover art is a visual journal composed of images from this event and the broader Detroit area,providing a glimpse into the places and objects that decorate the weekend of the tracks character set.
In the production, samples weave in and out, reflecting our fragmented memories. To add depth, multiple sounds were bounced onto cassette tapes and left outside in the July heat—a degradation that captures the sun-burned, wobbly atmosphere.
This division of a narratives full context is an artistic concept I am still solidifying. How much, and what can be omitted before closure is no longer possible for the listener? Consider Movement a first attempt.
lyrics
Movement
A fresh can cracks the sun up
We’re at a Marriott, Make-shift table
in the parking lot. Ironed shirts heading off to work
Staring at us
Don’t think it rained all night
Pavement was still dark
Don’t think I’ve ever seen you shy
Always grinning like a shark
Came out for the weekend, Little getaway
Won’t touch sober, since the border
Gonna burn the days away
You place it on my tongue
And all my worries start to run
Chase of Aquafina, there’s nothing finer
Than you, than you, Dancing in the sun
Came out for the weekend, Little runaway
A.M drunk from a new friends trunk
Gonna burn the days away
Till they turn to nights again
Slow and steady, Gonna burn
Slow and easy, Gonna burn
You’re my endless summer’s day
Wrap your arms around me honey
Wrap your arms around me
Throw your heart Around Me
