SEIZE THE DAY

Seizing the day is not about waiting for alien orders that forcibly compartmentalise your time, based on other people’s inrerests.

Seizing the day is about setting your own perspective on things, just in order to be able to create your own agenda and to defend it with an heroic

NO

tossed against anything and anyone attempting to subjugate that personal order, built upon your own interests.

FORGET TODAY

Days are not meant for producing, but to be exploited on your own terms – for, sometimes, days are there just to be enjoyed.

Cancel everything you have to do.

Don’t forget what I’ve just told you.

FORGET YOUR FUTURE

Cunts. Sods. Clots. Twats. Cretins. Suckers. Pricks. Assholes. Motherfuckers. Hypocrites.

Goods for nothing – that is, literally, what you produce.

I hope that you all end up rotting in a prison cell.

Or drowned in the crocs’ pool at the zoo.

INSOMNIA

An infinite doom scrolling expanding through the hours – from 11pm to the wee hours of the morning – with which you fill a personal void and that denotes the intensity of an endless insomnia in which you are hopelessly waiting for – at times, fearing – something to happen.

KILL YOUR BOSS

Pop counterculture has often said that you have to kill your idols.

How wrong they are: your idols (artists, actors, poets, musicians, writers, dancers…) have given you a brave new world in exchange for nothing but applause, an alm, a shag.

We should instead remove the coercitive figure keeping us away from that world of personal freedom.

Guess who I’m talking about?

FUCK WORK

If labouring is a biblical curse, I don’t understand why, being an atheist, I should work.

Money for rope, money for dope.

Free money for all!

NEVERMIND THE BOLLOX

Aggressive executives disguised as punks who are sociopaths disguised as visionary executives who hold themselves as Humankind’s saving heroes.

Open AI is nothing else than the umpteenth iteration of the “move fast, break stuff” model: to generate wealth from an unchecked extraction of data, taken from users, SMEs and companies who are being robbed in their very faces – in spite of being protected by regulations and intellectual property laws.

We are trapped inside a 404 Error lying at the core of the fabric that weaves our reality.

UNHAPPINESS IS

Unhappiness is being a poor, unsexy resident living in a suburb of an über-gentrified and super touristified vulgar, tacky city.

Picasso was never here.

JOIN THE FUTURE

Don’t follow me, I’m lost.

WHAT

The Spanish band Cravat and the US singer and songwriter Vania asked for my collaboration to enhance the message of their original song Only You with the creation of a lyric video for this track.

This video clip was created as a work of art in itself and as an asset for the advertising campaign that both artists launched in early 2024 to announce the release of this track in digital music platforms.

HOW

Using After Effects as the main edition tool, this audiovisual work was created combining three different sources :

01. LYRICS The original lyrics of the song, written by Vania and applied in a modified Google Fonts typeface

02. HOME-MADE CLIP A video of tree branches swaying in the wind, seen through a grainy window pane

03. LIQUID VISUALS A video with visuals by Liquid Sky Analogic, taken from another Cravat's original track

Together, they create an instant crush of a lyric video about longing, yearning and healing, unravelling over a melody endlessly modulating from minors to majors.
