echoes of a little natural journey

a voyage on a smaller scale. not a big odyssey from one end of the world to the other, but rather a little journey from this rock to that mushroom, from this mushroom to that leaf, from this leaf over here to that blade of grass over there.


the whole idea was inspired by a single ant i saw at the park. that ant was alone, but it was moving forward, with a purpose, a determined course- as if it were on little journey.
at that moment, i unconsciously started singing. and then it occurred to me that an album about a journey on a smaller scale could sound great.

and i started working on it. i knew that i wanted to make longer tracks, with many parts so that it would feel like they were telling a little story that really felt like a bug's journey.then i decided that i wanted to show that visually too, to experiment with things that i've never tried to do before.
so i made the drawings and tried to put together this simple animation that accompanies the whole journey.
and woah, it was difficult at the start (respect to all the animators and video editors out there). but i learned, and got better at it, and i came up with this video you have here !!then, as the project developed, came the idea of the interludes- little pieces to describe changes in the environment and scenery the different bugs were traveling in.
