Artemis Orion’s “visions” (part six of her song cycle/EP “honey”) gets a bit of a high definition boost on the Nine Paths remix. The original definitely wasn’t lacking and fits perfectly in the context of an album meditating on the arc of love throughout one’s life. This remix, though, emphasizes the low end and sharp edges of the track and gives it a bit of an industrial flavor toward the end. The video for the original version of the song (on YouTube embedded below) reveals a song that examines the nature of how we experience and conceptualize our desires on even the subconscious level through both social conditioning and how we’ve taught ourselves about what we can and should expect from others particularly in the context of an intimate relationship. The disorienting landscapes, the flow of symbols and signifiers in the video work perfectly with the ethereal vocals and expert use of reverse delay to take the melody out of the usual logic of musical rhythm. The imagery suggests a hazy early winter morning and the tenor and sentiments expressed speak to a cultivated sense of compassion for oneself and the vulnerabilities of others. Fans of Married in Berdichev, Grouper and Midwife will find much to like in what Artemis Orion has to offer with this song and the rest of “honey.” Listen to “visions” on Spotify, check out the captivating video on YouTube and follow Orion at Instagram linked below.
