LEX AMOR FORWARD

Visionary North London musician and producer Lex Amor has revealed a purposeful new short in 'FORWARD'. Created in collaboration with a trio of directors - Javon Davis, Caleb Femi and Charlie Rees, in Amor's own words, the piece strives to begin "a collective conversation about perception, a question about certainty, an investigation into the layers of reality and the human experience...FORWARD exists in a space between now and next - where imagination meets reality, where new worlds become solid, where possibilities find their feet." Sewing together accomplished sonic snippets from Amor's Forward Ever project, the cohesive yet abstract offering defies genre and convention. Amor adds: "This vision wouldn't exist without Javon Davis, Caleb Femi, and Charlie Rees - directors whose unique frequencies came together to create something entirely new. Each brought their own way of seeing, their own beautiful way of translating feeling into form. And Shaun Sky - who has this amazing ability to open up ideas, and reveal dimensions we hadn't imagined. We intended for this film to be both a statement and a question; an invitation to look again, to see differently, to recognise that everything - even what feels most fixed and certain - is always in motion, always moving - for you - forward." Easily one of the most provocative pieces of artistry we've covered on the blog in a while, we'd advise you to take some time with this profound and masterful new work. -Holly Mullineaux
