I am in absolute awe.
After a sleepless night, I found myself scouring the web for novel inspiration. I prepared myself a hot cup of caffeine and sugar and filled my headphones with Eluvium’s latest -
Life Through Bombardment - a 7LP collection of abstract ambient, modern classical, and experimental drone music clocking in at nearly four hours of meditative bliss.
But as luck would have it, I was a mere quarter hour into the session when my research yielded a most magnificent reward.
FIRST • WE • FEEL • THEN • WE • FALL is a realization of James Joyce’s modernist triumph of literature, Finnegans Wake, transformed into an interactive experimental, and non-linear film.
The project and its film are free to all, and I discovered it thanks to the wonderful educational resource, OpenCulture.com.
I cannot begin to express my exhilaration in learning of this project. And if you’re at all a fan of experimental literature and film, this experience is not to be missed!
(Frown... I'm looking at you.)
