The Yokai Trilogy - Ghost Stories
So begins conversation of The Yōkai Trilogy, its origins in ghost stories, and the desire to tell something different - first with the written word and then without.
The Yokai Trilogy - Previewing Series 1
This episode of The White Whale offers a preview of season 1, which aims to thoroughly consider The Yōkai Trilogy - an art collaborative between John R. Barner and Garrett D. Tiedemann where John supplies the music and Garrett the visuals. The project has been happening for more than a year and a half with the support of CyNar Pictures and American Residue Records. Final record in the trilogy and set of films are due for release soon.
The Key
What is the key to The White Whale? How do we find an origin point? Has it already happened?
"When men have died they enter history. When statues have died they enter art. This botany of death is what we call culture" -Alain Resnais
