Jay Jermyn is perhaps one of the most talented people I know. We are great friends, and I was more than excited to collaborate with Jay on producing a soundtrack for a suite of images that accompany the Dandy Savage exhibition at The Walls Art Space. Jay is a professional artist and musician with a Bachelor in Digital Media, and is the founder of the band Veople.
For more than a year already, I had been confiding in Jay about Dandy Savage. We talked about the story’s foundations, the people I had met and what this exhibition meant to me. Jay had not only lent an ear, but also elicited crucial feedback. We worked our way through the soundtrack, drawing on abstract moments from my Korean heritage that collided with the Dandy Savage story of subjectivity, discourse and doubt, yet were fused together with eternal fluidity of the ocean.
Thankyou Jay for all your support.
Here is the soundtrack we worked on with a slideshow of images from Dandy Savage:
