Скачать или смотреть himalion - WYSIATI [SINGLE]

exactly one year ago me and Inês Barreira recorded this super weird video in Ilha do Pico in Azores

on WYSIATI, Diogo Sarabando reflects on themes of memory, anxiety of letting go and moving on and the interplay between past/present/future, all through the lens of the cognitive bias coined by Daniel Kahneman which highlights how we tend to make judgments based on readily available information while ignoring what’s not immediately present

after touring the debut LP BLOOMING, Diogo cast anchor at Henry Simões’ "Lost in Pico" - a friend’s house in “Ilha do Pico”, the mountain island in the mid-Atlantic archipelago of the Azores. Up in its attic he set up a small cabin like studio, and over the course of 3 weeks (spent between Terceira, São Miguel, Pico and Faial) with the gaze magnetically bound to the colossal Pico mountain, amongst the cryptomeria forests and feet deep in the volcanic sand bathed in Atlantic blue, Diogo started the seed work that would eventually develop into WYSIATI

not long after, Diogo enrolled in a transformative School of Song course led by Robin Pecknold from Fleet Foxes. School of Song’s strong focus on community building and the educational safe harbour approach served as a catalyst for the exploration of WYSIATI’s crux: “the mind doesn’t account for chance and falsely assumes the future will be similar to the past” in other words: life is always flowing, there’s hope in the end

at the end of the course, Robin graciously donated a professional recording and mixing budget to Diogo which allowed him to fulfil one of himalion’s initial goals: collaborating with a greater spectrum of musicians, particularly from Aveiro

WYSIATI, the sophomore record of himalion, is a collection of 14 new songs that will come out soon
