one_heartbeat

valentine's day gift for a special person

"how do you know when you meet the right person? everything just feels so right, like everything you feel and think is in sync. me being a total edm junkie, i take it as 2 heartbeats or 2 brainwaves synching (spelling?) as one, coming together, and when they come together, they resonate and become stronger.
see the heart?
or you can think of it as how one heartbeat, or one moment in time, can contain an eternal embrace
OR if you're an edm junkie, you can think of it as 2 edm junkies coming together who listen to too much trance therefore their brainwaves are nothing but a bunch of repetitive 120 bpm beats so when they listen to the same song they trip out together permanently and suffer long term brain damage. (btw, 120 bpm or smeothing is supposedly an infant's heart rate, and something else's freuqency or something, i htink it was like, tribal drumbeats, that if you keep listening to it you'll go into a trance and go back to a simpler, nostalgic mode of existence. hehe, went to the ecstasy exhibit @ moca yesterday and read up some books . . .)"

the first time we met, we danced together for 3 hrs straight because something just clicked SOO well. we didn't know anything about each other, and by coincidence ran into each other again a couple months later, and we found that we had so much in common in how we think and feel. there are so many coincidences involved in our coming together that, even though i don't really believe in fate, it really seems like something else was guiding us, like having our paths continually crossing until they finally coincided. the whole idea of synergy, everything in unity, everything coming together and resonating as one, that's what inspired this piece. one brainwave, one soundwave, one heartbeat.

compare this to my other piece "embrace". guess what, the guy's face is showing! and the green is brighter
