"The title of the video Cubismos is a conflation of two words: Cubism and Cosmos. It is an experiment in 3D graphics using a couple of commercially available programs to construct a world-space in which many of the surfaces are mirrors which both limit and expand the view at the same time.

"In the foreground, animated faces occasionally appear, in a dream-like self-absorbed reverie which questions the geometric logic of the scene. Also featured in the clip is a floating object which wriggles and re-forms itself in a way that suggests a body tossing in sleep or trying to escape its entanglements. Skeletal figures march through the landscape following some purposeful yet opaque orders. The strange reflective space and its obscurely precise inhabitants are perfectly propelled through time by the music composed especially for this video by Aris Carastathis." - Mark Nisenholt

"The music in CUBISMOS attempts to draw out of the video animation a regimental dynamism but also suggest frailty, anguish and resignation.  I tried to musically underscore the eerie, stark aspect of the video and merge it with grounding earth tones.

"This video is part of a series of works for animation and music Mark Nisenholt and I have been experimenting with in recent times.  So far in our approach either the video is created first and then the music is inspired by it or vice versa.  In the near future we will probably work on a project in which both the video and the audio are created simultaneously." - Aris Carastathis
