Tokyo Rose 1,475 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 PopMatters interviews iamamiwhoami: “The box is our kin that we created with the audience,†Lee tells us, talking to PopMatters on the week of release of blue, iamami’s third full-length effort. “Its form is basically iamamiwhoami in a box, as creating kin we had to keep within the walls of the traditional ways of consumption to be able to create our first physical album. [in] creating blue, the past can’t stand in your way.†Indeed, the end of the “fountain†video directed viewers to visit “generateâ€, a page on her record label’s website that called out for donations to help fund and finish the naturalistic, often-aquatic videos that made up blue‘s visual language. It was a difficult thing to ask, as by the time of blue‘s release date, only seven of its ten tracks had visual counterparts, a first for the collective. While the music is propulsive and forward-thinking in its own right, the visual nature of iamamiwhoami is what has lead so many to discover the project in its first place. Lee recently moved behind the camera to help out with that aspect as well, joining in with designer AgustÃn Moreaux and lens-master John Strandh to help give blue‘s its strong optic voice. The collective simply calls itself WAVE. “When I began writing for blue,†Lee continues, “WAVE had already existed for a year. The theme of the album and the nature of what iamamiwhoami has developed into made it very natural to let WAVE direct this series as the theme of the album and story was already crystallized. We wanted to take [a] nature film into the pop arena and I have really enjoyed the creative process, even though it has been triple the work load.†Read the full interview here!

Tokyo Rose 1,475 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Prior to bounty, there was an album that was never released as we didn’t like it. For kin, we took more time and some songs did not make the album, but those songs were written for the same scene in the series as those who made it. For blue, we had songs that we didn’t choose; it’s about what describes the mood and tells the story best and that you feel for unconditionally. Some songs do not for different reasons, and those stay with you. Like, between bounty and kin, I made a whole album that was never released. We can call it ‘the first traces of blue.’ It’s just what is best for the full work in that moment that matters. A moment of silence for the two full unreleased albums we'll never get to hear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimisaMonster 31,073 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 A moment of silence for the two full unreleased albums we'll never get to hear Well...I got a few things form this... 1) They are constantly writing music... 2) They make sure the quality is forefront and fits the theme of the body of work 3) They want to let the fans experience only their best efforts I appreciate that if THEY don't even consider the music to be great...there's a reason. Look at "Dive"...idk if you've heard it but there's a reason it didn't make the album. Even tho, it's an exclusive song for the islanders...it wouldn't have added anything to the album, the song isn't as catchy as the others, and the theme is already brought up in some of the songs.

Giorno Giovanna 3,178 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 she looks so beautiful I kind of feel sorry for not experiencing Jonna's newest work like I did with Kin era in 2012, I was absolutely into Kin but this time around I was so busy with my life and kind of more interested in Azealia Bank's BWET, .....well that doesn't mean I pay dust to Blue, I think of it like a treasure that is still somewhere buried, only waiting for me to dig it out and enjoy it's magic when I need it. このジョルノジョヴァンナ夢がある Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
