Alex Henry Foster Teases New Film Voyage à la Mer with Moody Music Video for “A Vessel Astray”

My approach is usually an ongoing motion defined by contemplative reflections, dwelling on the invisible or intangible realm if you’d like. First will come an image, which will eventually inspire a word from which a project or an album title will emerge, followed by song or chapter titles. The songs will start to form themselves as I muse about their initial spark of life. The image will evolve, and become some sort of cinematographic entity. Themes will slowly reveal their outlines, uncovering words. Once the words are assembled into lyrics, scripts, or poetry, the body of work defines itself, blooming into songs, motion pictures, and collages of colors or shapes. The biggest challenge is to get my own limitative ambitions out of the way in order to let the organic process grow beyond my need for control or fear of failure, which then allows any of my projects to keep evolving, transforming, morphing into completely new elements right after their inception. The need for balance is rarely a preoccupation, if not non-existent whatsoever. There’s no notion of “end”, “completion” or “absolute”. That’s the reason why there are no two identical concerts nor any similar songs from one rendition to another; the stream keeps going regardless of myself.
