  • My tiny ape brain may be too small to understand the full depth and meaning of the metaphorical writing, it does a great job of feeling esoteric, unknown, and unknowable. The visuals were vague and dreamlike, but still discernable enough to understand what may be happening, and the suggestion may be more effective than an outright depiction would have been. And paired with the visceral soundscapes made a very effective accompaniment to the poetry.

Entrancing visuals and superb sound design, nicely done! I'd like to see more of these in a similar style.
