Sinclair & Abrahamsson: Believe in any space
The following little film was made for the piece Believe in any space. Words by Vanessa Sinclair and music by me. It’s from a forthcoming album called Switching Mirrors on the amazing label Erototox Decodings. The entire album consists of Vanessa reading her poems and texts from the book by the same name. This little gem of a book can be ordered right HERE. The album, to be released some time in 2017, will be available on vinyl, CD and digital. Believe in any space from Carl Abrahamsson on Vimeo.
