We Were Sparkling; or surprises from a stranger

Hello dear! I write to you today from my San Fransisco hotel room. On my plane ride earlier today I was reading Proust’s Swann’s Way, famous for its tale of how the tasting of one tea soaked, petite madeleine brought a flood of childhood memories to mind in clear detail. Well, with so much talk of memory and childhood, I began to reflect upon my own past, of how we erase certain things in our mind, and what causes us to remember again. This first video was my own sort of “petite madeleine”, an experience that sneaks up on you when you least expect it; a bruise touched that you forgot you had, a stranger who seems at once familiar, a jack-in-the-box of grief. I see that this video was made by a certain StrawberryBang and I have never spoken with this person, but when I first saw this video I began to remember. I think it was a good thing to be surprised into feeling again. Thank you StrawberryBang.
Here are some other voluntary videos which I recently discovered and I want to give a shout out of thanks to Federico Forlani & Alisonista for these beautiful videos!
beautiful works :)
looking forward to see you in Espinho (Portugal).
Till them, all the best
Thank you so much for the wonderful concert in Espinho, Portugal. The Ice and The Storm was so incredibly moving. And thank you for the wonderful Youkali, I never thought I would hear you singing it live one day, and it was so so beautiful :)
