Powaqqatsi movie edit set to the Sea Oleena song Southbound. Music: Sea Oleena | Southbound Sea Oleena is the project of Canadian musician Charlotte Oleena (Charlotte Loseth). Based out of Montreal, her music hovers between ambient dream pop and experimental post-folk, relying on rich, atmospheric textures, subtle guitar effects, and autumnal melancholia. Aided by her brother Luke Loseth, she released the self-titled Sea Oleena mini album in 2010 followed a year later by a second mini album called Sleeplessness. With her crystalline voice and atmospheric tones, Sea Oleena's music is sometimes compared to acts like Grouper and Julianna Barwick with echoes of dream pop pioneers the Cocteau Twins and a Julee Cruise. Sea Oleena signed with Oregon-based indie Lefse Records to release Shallow in September 2014. On the cover of Shallow, someone beckons away from the camera with a bloodied finger, and a red bracelet on her wrist. It's an unsettling image, and Shallow possesses a similar unease. On the record's closing track, Paths, Sea Oleena repeats, "Yours is a path I'd like to cross." It's a love song, and a song about submission, need, brokenness, and pain. Sea Oleena dissolves hurt and comfort into the same mist, and never once flinches at how close they swirl to each other. Soft, meticulous and with the tiniest splash of creepy, Weaving A Basket (2020) weaves a dream state over the listener and lulls them into the sea. The album falls into two dream categories. The opening two tracks are water-coloured brushes of fluffy drone synths and Sea Oleena’s voice on the wind and waves. Calvisius in particular is superb at creating a delicate feminine warmth as the vocals soothe you in the lamenting drones. From there, the album brings in acoustic guitar, minimal bass and a sound palette of water, earth and background wind and traffic. It is minimalist by design and the slow pace and hypnotic nature of every song makes it feel like you are listening to folk music through a sea shell. The centrepiece of Weaving A Basket is the ten-minute Gardens. All the songs grapple with your heartstrings, Gardens, though, rounds up everything Sea Oleena does so well and lays it into an album within an album. Powaqqatsi (or Powaqqatsi: Life in Transformation) is a 1988 American non-narrative film directed by Godfrey Reggio and the sequel to Reggio's experimental 1982 film, Koyaanisqatsi. It is the second film in the Qatsi trilogy. Powaqqatsi is a Hopi neologism coined by Reggio meaning "parasitic way of life" or "life in transition". While Koyaanisqatsi focused on modern life in industrial countries, Powaqqatsi, which similarly has no dialogue, focuses more on the conflict in Third World countries between traditional ways of life and the new ways of life introduced with industrialization. As with Koyaanisqatsi and the third and final part of the Qatsi trilogy, Naqoyqatsi, the film is strongly related to its soundtrack, written by Philip Glass. Koyaanisqatsi or Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance is a 1982 American experimental art film produced and directed by Godfrey Reggio with music composed by Philip Glass and cinematography by Ron Fricke. Slow-motion and time-lapse footage of uniform cities in a globalized world of commodity culture contrast with natural landscapes across the United States. With neither dialogue nor a vocalized narration, images and music set the tone. Reggio explained the lack of dialogue in Koyaanisqatsi by stating, 'it's not for lack of love of the language that these films have no words. It's because, from my point of view, our language is in a state of vast humiliation. It no longer describes the world in which we live.' Koyaanisqatsi is a native American Hopi word meaning 'life out of balance.' With the sheer power of its images, Koyaanisqatsi attempts to show the complex relationship between technology, humanity, and nature. A 'Shining Beast' of furious activity that devours and destroys the planet to provide for humanity's teeming billions. Some, of course, receive much more provision than others. Koyaanisqatsi is the first movie in the Qatsi film trilogy succeeded by Powaqqatsi (1988) and Naqoyqatsi (2002). Koyaanisqatsi is the best-known of the Qatsi film trilogy and is now considered a cult movie classic.
