Julia Holter Instagram – “Spinning” feels for me like a seeking of the night, where visions present themselves to us from the ether and we are compelled to make stuff. Also an appreciation for Robert Wyatt’s “Sea Song”. Night, darkness, water, swimming
But desiring this fruitful state of mind yet sometimes being stuck in the awkward bright day, without vision and with only fatigue from the everyday/external—that can be interesting in of itself! Maybe we can bring the day to the night
Thankful always to @kennethjohngilmore working on this whole thing with me

Hélène Cixous provided the song’s inspiration (“Writing Blind”): “the night vibrates, I see with my ears, I advance into the bosom of the world, hands in front, capturing the music with my palms, until something breathes under the pen’s beak. (I’ve just written these lines eyelids closed as usual, because the day and its huge light keeps us from seeing what is germinating.)”
@giraffestudios instantly got all of this vibe and sent over brilliant and inspired ideas and somehow found this parachute that many of us recall from our childhood running around under, and which is delightfully heavy to try to crawl in. It was the perfect thing to move around with, the star/starfish for this song, thank you so much to @giraffestudios and the team who made this dizzy magic happen
