Making the video for “Abeyance” was a new and exciting process for me, being the first music video ever made for Sylvaine, but it was also a challenge to find the right ideas for a song that was over 5 min long. To hold the interest of the audience for that long, as well as making a cohesive and fitting story for the music, was interesting. The whole concept developed from an idea I had, of finding this creature trapped in some sort of cocoon, this being a metaphor for so many things, amongst others being trapped in a place, without being able to escape. I wanted the video to consist of 2 different worlds; the serene, beautiful and comforting forest and a dark, more hostile world, symbolized by crystals being grown and a more chaotic landscape within the nature. Once again, I wanted to draw inspiration form this dualism that my project seems to be so heavily influenced by.
Same reason as for my two previous albums; being able to express myself and my creative visions completely freely, without having to compromise anything to please others. Makes me sound like a control freak, but I guess that could be an accurate description anyway, haha…. To keep Sylvaine as personal as possible, I try to care for as many elements of the project as possible. This way, I really have an outlet for my most personal ponderings and issues, only challenged by myself.
