We see videos of musicians playing and interviewing everywhere around us, from television to social media. But, trust us, it's actually not so easy to do... In this video/audio project we are slowly getting more comfortable talking to a camera, overcoming our nerves or insecurities, and figuring out simple and effective ways to record ourselves playing. But more than that, it’s about finding that something—the reason why a performance or a piece matters—and sharing that with our audience. It’s about learning how to explain what we hear, what we feel and what we do and when we play, turning abstract ideas into words that connect.
