pt. 1 (Fog in Air)
Inside the clouds:
gray emptiness for miles,
ice patterns under feet.
Internal heat
left over from the river--
exhale fog in air (fog in air)

pt. 2 (Knowing pt. 2)
around what’s not me.
You’ll never know
what I mean.
What heat?
Self-betrayal then detachment.
Burning knowledge then acceptance.

pt. 3 (Replica)
I’ve confirmed it,
so back to the city I go,
replica born from the snow.
Gaba version of me, mirror self

pt. 4 (Birdsong)
walking around
saying what’s expected
until that fog rolls in over the mountain (again)
until the world is distant and clouds meet sea--
until the world is indifferent, that birdsong: “free”.
When city lights fade--
well, I like to dream.

“Fog Storm Pts. 1-4” was originally the audio component of the Fog Storm installation by Jesse Keating and Kyle Bates:
Fog Storm
A collaborative sound and video installation.
Drowse - Kyle Bates
Kremdar - Jesse Keating
This installation showcases four found objects that have been re-engineered into interactive sculptural instruments. The artists use these objects to create sounds and explore their natural surroundings. All music has been created by the artists and was recorded in Skagaströnd using the sculptures, a field recorder, and the computer. Video projections recorded while at living NES Artist Residency around certain regions of desolate Northern Iceland.
Fog Storm plays with tangible and digital deconstruction of the natural world in the Anthropocene.
