Via my walking buddy come’s this week’s Monday Video (Thanks, C!). Brilliant guitar, hypnotic visuals and a stirring message.
This video led me to explore more about Steve Ball and Airport Update. I am listening to a piece Ball composed for his daughter Sofie as I write this and I am transported.
I have been thinking and working a lot with multimodality in my work both online and offline. A couple of weeks ago I did a short Kinesthetic Modeling exercise with some agriculture scientists. I have played with using music as a shared experience in a chat room and of course all my dabbling into visual facilitation. Each experiment brings me, personally, into a fuller experience with more of my attention and presence intact. Steve’s music has that focusing effect on me. I’m loving it. Thanks, Steve! I hope Sofie’s suite is in the Sketch Box set… I’m buying it!
