A few words on the glitch from The Visceral Glitch
”Maxxmillian provided me couple of pieces to glitch up. One of her beautiful cars and a nature shot of desert mountains. My task was to take these images and create a new and unseen world. I started with the mountain, but the mountain didn’t want to move. With only one option left, I had to glitch up with car. I slammed pixels across the screen, pumped colors to the extreme, and eventually I broke the car. Now we got something. I layered the mountain on top and new textures emerged as a beautiful digital decay emerged on the screen.”
A few words on the art, music, and photography from Maxximillian
“DAWN.” The track features a mesmerizing beat that will have listeners hooked from the first few seconds. The bass is heavy and pulsating, creating an undulating ASMR experience for fans. I drew inspiration from the trap genre to create a sound that is both unique and familiar. It’s a track that will have you hitting replay again and again.
Photography. Taken in the stunning desert mountains at the break of dawn, capturing the natural beauty of the world. The stunning view complements the concept of my latest art piece, Thē Zeurudi Aerocharger. This futuristic vehicle, courtesy of Futurist Motor Club, is a gleaming gold coupe that might be part rocketship. It combines sleek design with fantastical convenience technology to create a vehicle that is as whimsical as it is beautiful. The photograph from my desert mountain adventure and the Zeurudi Aerocharger together with the ever-present sky perfectly capture the spirit of “DAWN,” representing the start of a new moment and a fresh combination of possibilities.
Futurist Motor Club represents a lifestyle that transcends driving and celebrates the discovery of surreal views, exquisite moments of quality, unexpected whimsy and the wisdom to know that we are here to enjoy all of this. Futurist Motor Club inspires members to be in constant companionship with the beauty and wonder of the world.
All it took was a few moments savoring the thought of me and The Visceral Glitch creating together to know that a fast flying car, the open road, clear skies, and mountain views would give us all the space we wanted to whoop, stomp around and dance. Once I saw the glitch come together, I knew exactly what the music should do.
