About Så Stille, Cecilie shares “‘Alt er så mørkt, alt er så stille her’ means: Everything is so dark, everything is so quiet here. This is a track about leaving a situation and moving into a new one. The feeling of it, the void in between, like a pause between breaths. How quiet and dark it all seems, how scary ‘the new’ is and how sad it is leaving, knowing that nothing will be the same again. That stillness and pause, that vacuum, when you know it’s over. In that moment everything stands still, like the darkness of night, it can be scary and dark but the stars are still shining.”Video created in TouchDesigner by: @pao.olea Watch the full video at youtube.com/OurSilentCanvas#såstille #soquiet #touchdesigner #particlegeneration #spiritualrealm #nordicmusic #norwegian #motiongraphics
