VISION.VHS is a 2-volume concept album and experimental art project collaboration. As an art project VISION.VHS explores limitation, intuition, and interpretation. All artists were limited to the album titles and synopsis--they had no access to the music. This limitation added an unusual element of risk as there was no music to provide the additional guidance that is so common when creating album art. Removing musical influence from the creative process allowed for each artist to have a stronger personal influence in the work.

Back in January I wrote about PHENOL emerging through a Kickstarter campaign--fastforward 7 months later and it's finally here! To keep things short--I've enjoyed my first encounter with the PHENOL and see a lot of potential using this little beast for future projects.
