"LINGER": JOSHUA SELLERS MUSIC MEETS ROBERTO ALBORGHETTI' S ARTWORKS
Four blue colored images merge into the meditative sound of the Usa composer and producer. A videoclip "for the contemplative eye and ear".
The meditative music created by Joshua Sellers - composer and producer - meets "Lacer/Actions" artworks by Roberto Alborghetti in a videoclip titled "Linger". Made by Earscapes, the video presents a Joshua Sellers soundtrack accompanied by four images comin' from the huge collection of Roberto Alborghetti (pics of torn posters and papers "captured" on cities walls). The pics -- their titles are: "A quiet summer afternoon", "A teardrop on your face", "A wave on a shore" and "My dreams in a lonely night" - have the blue as a prevailing color. They suggested to Joshua Sellers to produce a clip "for the contemplative eye and ear".
Joshua Sellers and Roberto Alborghetti are very glad about this collaboration borned and created in distance thanks to the web: Joshua lives in Arkansas (Usa) and Roberto overseas, in Italy (Europe). The meditative and slowly electronic sound of Joshua Sellers merge into the "Lacer/Actions" images that Roberto Alborghetti takes from ads billboards all around the world. A beautiful experience of sounds and colors (lenght: 9 minutes and 44 seconds). Josua Sellers said about it: "I do think that art and music can be a way of creating a meditative space, to slow down. It's something I am naturally drawn towards I think."
ABOUT JOSHUA SELLERS
Joshua Sellers ( www.earscapes.com ) has attended the University of Louisiana at Monroe studying music composition. Over the years, Joshua has worked as a performer, songwriter, producer, engineer, DJ and musical collaborator in classical, rock, folk, jazz, avant-garde, electronica and ambient music. As a member of the pop-rock duo Joker, Joshua released the album Homecoming in 2009.
In addition to musical projects, Joshua Sellers has been given an arts grant by the state of Louisiana for a poetry reading at the Masur Museum of Art (1996). Joshua has also been a co-editor of Hart Beats, a journal of philosophy and spirituality published in Monroe (1996-1998).
Joshua has long been fascinated with the sound textures. As a child, he would play with tape recorders, altering the tape speed or running the tape in reverse. Joshua Sellers: "I discovered that you could use a recording device not simply to document sound, but to create unique sounds never heard before."
Reviving his interest in these childhood experiments, Joshua first began recording ambient music under the pseudonym Murmur in 2003. Rather than rely on the latest state-of-the-art synthesisers, Joshua uses found sounds, toy keyboards, electric guitars and shakuhachi as sound sources.
Joshua Sellers: "In music, we place traditional musical elements like rhythm, melody and harmony in the foreground and so we tend to not notice the actual texture as much. In my music, that's a perception I want to reverse."
In 2010, Joshua Sellers completed his first full-length album of ambient music, Amniosis. A new EP, State of Flux, is due to be released later in 2011, followed by a large-scale work, Elemental. Joshua Sellers: "I like to think of my pieces as enigmatic abstract icons, each providing a quiet meditative space and luminous presence of its own."
Joshua Sellers currently lives in West Memphis, Arkansas, with future plans to emigrate to New Zealand.
