"It all came up to the symbiosis between music, the written narrative and visuals. We tried to develop a framework where everything is so intertwined that the elements only make sense when together. The written narrative serves the visuals, and the visuals take from the written narrative. The written text becomes musical through sound, through scores, through notes and noise. Our instruments give voice to characters in an attempt to convey all the poetic imagery."
