Marshalling insights from religious symbolism, cinematic essentialism, and Russian literature, Seven Swords represents a material extension of the content, aesthetic and philosophy underlying Shari DeLorian’s eponymous album (Realia005). It invokes a variety of sources—video stills, photographic material, and poetry—to create a visual poetics where images and text realise the complementary potentials of music.

lyrics
Looking outside from a window
When it’s too dark
Just watching yourself like in a mirror
Playing the beliefs with an ark
The image of how you could be
Pilgrimage on the street of sorrow
Straight and narrow like a bow
A double see of your mind’s son
Blow the reflection
Blood on the reveal
Glass would give birth
If the jump is over me
Overtaking the need of stability
Overtaking the need
It’s not yourself who’s talking
It’s the one you might not be
