Description
This is the artwork for the track, Unflattening, from my Fall From Earth album.
I wrote this piece after reading the 'drawn essay’ Unflattening by Nick Sousanis for maybe the 5th time.
It’s a profound meditation on what it means for ideas to take flight and proves the case that in order to think in more than simple dimensions, the drawn image is as important as, if not more so than, the written word. There’s a parallel with music. For me, the music starts flowing when words fail me, and I think Nick draws in the way that I’d like to be able to compose.
It is a glimpse into the mind of a genius whose skillful draughtsmanship and generosity have opened a window into the deepest labyrinths of philosophy and what it may mean to be human.
I realise now that almost every track on this album can be tied back to an idea from this book - from flights of imagination, Greek gods, to cave paintings, to Kubrick, to multiple ways of seeing.
Sousanis concludes one chapter; “…Armed with multiple ways of seeing we gain access to multidimensional sight… where existing barriers tumble and creative possibilities flourish”.
Featuring the English Session Orchestra conducted by Philip Sheppard
