fragrant tobacco

Our sense of smell is our most under-appreciated sense. It is scientifically proven to be the most emotionally evocative, we often find ourselves swept away into our past when catching a faint yet familiar odour drifting through the air. This video series, in collaboration with 7 different music artists, explores who we might begin to visualise and create audio based upon these potent smell-memory experiences. This animation was made with musician James Blunden.

I have a conversation with James on how creativity is inherently a spiritual act and how his environment is extremely vital to his creative process.
