OCULUS ::
Grammy
nominated musician/video artist Paul Speer releases his latest
CD/DVD project entitled Oculus. As one of the architects of the
multi-platinum selling video albums Natural States and Desert
Vision, he traveled down a different path on this release. That path
lead to several locations in Italy: Rome, Florence, the Italian
Riviera, Tuscany, and Sicily. The Pantheon's Oculus (the
opening on top of the rotunda) offers a portal to the open sky. This
music video transports one through the Oculus and on to a remarkable
visual journey, giving the viewer a unique look at Bella Italia.
Shot in Cinema Verite style, it is a work of art that pays homage to
the beauty and history of one of the most enchanting places in the
world. Paul composed a modern instrumental soundtrack (mixed
in 5.1 surround sound) for each piece that evokes an extraordinary
mood, which takes the viewer deep into each location for a
consummate audiovisual experience. For more info and interview
