'Space Cadet To The Carnival Of Moon' is a single, unedited 10-minute video sequence layered over a piano improvisation recorded separately and at another time - but also all in the one take. Impulsively I added the piano as soundtrack at a later date only to find an uncanny, and almost perfect synchronicity between the two.

From there I found myself further inspired to consider a narrative for this piece and - while also reconciling impending personal loss at the time - I found myself contemplating the many life experiences my fellow travellers on that bus were likely carrying themselves in those same moments. All travelling together and our destination the only, singular thing uniting us on that journey.

This then triggered a reminder of a reflection I wrote years before, observing a child anticipating a forthcoming flight as we all prepared to board. Responding to that observation I found myself capturing thoughts of mortality and the shared experiences that automatically connect us all - simply by virtue of that fact that we are all alive at this same moment in time and all of us upon this same, singular planet.

And that's where I found the narrative, happy to discover too that it proved more than sufficient expressed as words alone. And although the words themselves took their own time to craft and synchronise to the pace of the music and video I was happy to persevere, ultimately to result in this short film of just over 10 minutes in length.

A long time in some regards, but just about the right amount of time necessary to pay tribute to what to me is perhaps the grandest, most exciting revelation I will likely ever have. The greatest consolation too, for whenever I might find myself struggling (as I often do) with the darker aspects of the nature of humanity.
