(I know i know Novak and overbearing, luckily it wasn't fair into the episode.) ((Just thought to share with novak teasing what kind of stuff people would want to see in a documentary a month or so ago.))

Love seeing a happy phil spamming Elvis moves

" i wanted to tell you how we made the visuals for nerve-bloom

i did it with Natalia Kleszczewska @nienataliann and Natalie Liu @natalieliiu

Natalia Kleszczewska is a painter , she painted the creatures and the backgrounds . Natalie Liu is a computer graphics director , she shaped the digital dimension of the work . my role in it was a creative director , bringing in the singer-songwriter tradition , where emotionally precise things happen inside the structure of a song . i guided colour pallettes , textures and the environments the music happens in .

to make this possible , during the process , natalia often had to paint many shapes and sizes , different textures and layers of colours . natalie then developed the visuals , designing and overseeing CGI elements, and finding ways for the digital to sit organically alongside Natalia’s world . and include my dramaturgy and creative direction .

we spent 7 months talking and working together , dedicated to relish in the craft of blending hand-made visuals with digital experimentation , 3D design and commit it to physical display technology . a lot of time was spent on researching different tools and techniques to find what worked best at each stage in the song .

like i’ve done before , i wanted to merge old things with tech , giving it soul & a meaning . to paint a painting is an analog craft but computer programming is craftmanship too !! and both can co-exist , .....encouraging each other to bloom even further towards a mutual world .

Avatars, animation and archetypes: Nerve Bloom (remix) – on display in @listasafnislands until September 20th 2026.

The production of this film was made possible with the generous support of #bottegaveneta. "

Black Avant-Garde Metal from Japan.

They've been going for awhile now! since 1989! While finding ways to keep their material interesting and not fearing experimentation.

I know that they recently re-recorded it in 2025, and released it as 'I Saw the World’s End (Hangman’s Hymn MMXXV' , and it sounds really good as well! it seemed to be well received among fans. I just prefer the sound of the original overall.
