Antique Angel 2025
An audiovisual experience dramatising man's journey of self-discovery using symbolism, surrealism, minimalism, and emotiveness.
The concept album was recorded at Birdling Studios in Richmond and mixed at Park Road Post Production in Wellington. The seven chapters were filmed at lakes, beaches, meadows, castles, and studios across the Nelson Tasman of Aotearoa.
The project was funded by the generous support of our community via a successful Boosted crowdfunding campaign for $20,000 NZD. It is scheduled for release at the end of 2025.
