    Love’s Sanctuary

    By Nicholas | April 26, 2008

    My latest video adventure, entitled Love’s Sanctuary and uploaded to YouTube and other sites a few days ago, seems to give the effect, even more than my last, of a seamless integration of poetry, painting and music. Perhaps this is because of the effortless stream of emotion of the music, or the subject matter of Zayra Yves’ poem. Or perhaps there is a clearer logic to the choice of paintings. Whatever it is, there is present some latent power of synaesthesia which has the potential to affect people somewhat like the touch described by Zayra in her poem:

    “Part of me thought it was overblown
    how you might just touch me
    in one minute to change life as I knew it…”

    There may be those who find it too easy, or the music too banal (in 2001 I myself cut this piece from the sequence to which it belongs, and which forms the CD called Night Sky). But the experience of making it brings home forcibly to me the power of combining the different arts and senses, and underlines just how much lack of communication between creative spirits (or limited technical resources) may have straitjacketed the imagination in the past, and just how much more room for experiment and adventure exists within easy reach.
