DESCRIPTION:
Tida Wilson and Sawi Lieu from Future Collective decided to join forces with all-around artist Duto Hardono in creating the last STUDIORAMA SESSIONS of the year.

This collaboration resulted in a fine mixture of space-age instrumentalia—titled "A Distant Beach", taken from Future Collective's lovable debut album—and Orwellian futurism imagery. Black-and-white format, balloons and a pair of aspect ratios are used to deliver this audiovisual experience.

The song itself is inspired by one of the more monumental graffiti in Paris, France on May '68; during a month long of uprising by students and workers against capitalism, consumerism and traditional institutions, values and order.

"Sous les pavés, la plage!," said the graffiti. Or, in English: "Underneath the pavement, the beach!"

Tida Wilson explained that, not unlike the French kids in the past, he yearns for the beach beneath the city's stretched concrete. "But I know it is not an easy thing to achieve that kind of dream or utopia," he continued.
