A one-man disco in a forest at night – the lights are flashing, birds are singing, dancing continues and time disappears. After the atmosphere in the forest reaches its height, it starts declining freely and uncontrollably. The night cannot go on forever and, in the morning, the surrounding reality is revealed.
Have you ever wanted to sample the buzzing of a fly or the song of a bird then turn them into an abstract beat to dance to in a dark forest reminiscent of The Black Lodge from Twin Peaks? If the answer is yes, then Pasi Autio’s Feel the Heat is everything you’ve wished for and more. A free spirited, let it all go, be weird, dance like nobody’s watching neon extravaganza. A communion with nature or a get-your-freak-on meditation towards abstract entities? Dancing turns into a lamentation. The neon forest has been cut. (Emil Vasilache)
