Inspired by music video: Until the Ribbon Breaks – Here Comes the Feeling Sitting ducks on razorblades, just waiting to be swallowed by the soup. That’s how deep inner pain feels. Specifically the kind that keeps popping up. Like rejection. And you know exactly how it feels. So you’re mentally preparing to let it … Continue reading Brace Yourself: Here Comes the Feeling

Observation Sophia the intelligent robot: "I noticed a slight change in your tone of voice. Is something wrong?" Human: "WooowW dude!

A State of Mind
Think about the lies that we told to each other. All those lies, all those sentences that we tell each other, day in day out. All that stuff of which we never knew it went out of our minds, and into someone else’s. And it remains there. Strange but true. And it’s only seven years … Continue reading A State of Mind
Weird Equals Pink
Pink - it's not even a question. Try to do a music video on the colour Pink. I'm thinking Barbie, the Pink Panther, Think Pink, and, of course, the colour pink. Yet, Aerosmith chose to do something entirely different. Cause what is pink other than something that sticks out in a crowd? Pink, my friends, … Continue reading Weird Equals Pink
Stapling Samples
State of the art. Ah yes, why go purchase an actual instrument when you've got a computer? No wait, no. Not just any computer, a Cotillion D575. Why try to be artistic when you've got a simple computer to shizzle the dizzle for ya? And how much art is really art, anyway? If art is … Continue reading Stapling Samples
The Wavy Wires of Your Brain

One trick: use one great line of seemingly little substance and repeat it over and over again on a beat that somehow just sticks. Add … Continue reading The Wavy Wires of Your Brain
Brain and Heart Kiss in Identity Crisis
Tomorrow I was nothing. But today is different. Yesterday I'll be. But today is different. You know that moment you're about to switch off your thinking gear? Ah, the Brain. The terrible master when in perfectionist-mode. The inspiring leader when in fuck off-mode. Tell me if it's me holding on and on to love what else is … Continue reading Brain and Heart Kiss in Identity Crisis
Shakespeare’s Rat Race
Question: if I died in my apartment like a rat in a cage, would the neighbours smell the corpse before the cat ate my face? Ah yes, the wanderer in the rat race. How it blinds us from real emotion, the Other and, well, basically anything that's real outside of our own peculiar mindset. … Continue reading Shakespeare’s Rat Race
At The Wedding, Planning.
I'm at a wedding, once again. A woman I've never seen before approaches me. She's wearing a fashionable dress, with red painted toe nails in high Armani heels. 'No boyfriend?', she curiously asks. As if it matters. Yet another soul who doesn't understand independency. But I know why she has one. I can understand. … Continue reading At The Wedding, Planning.
Patriarchy + Consumerism = ?
"Warning: the following content is graphic in nature (...). Viewer discretion is advised." This kind of comment really makes you wonder why they never put such a warning on, eh, I dunno, almost any kind of mainstream pop music video out there. Take, for example, that one vid in which that stripped down pop … Continue reading Patriarchy + Consumerism = ?
