IDEA
The sound is called Vortex, and I wanted to give you the definition of what vortex means to me. There are 2 first principles:
The philosophical aspect:
Vortex represents an idea that I like more and more and would like to apply more and more in my life, which is the idea of making the same movie, the same music, or the same painting all your life, with an infinite number of different approaches. An example of this would be Leonardo Da Vinci, who spent his life obsessed with the same pattern, like nature's spirals, with the curls flowing down the necks of all his figures, the use of shadows and their importance in depth and perspective, etc. All the great artists I admire do that: Miyazaki and his obsession with nature, tradition vs. modernity, Pierre Soulages and his fascination to work the light through black painting, Gaspard Noé or NWR with their work with color, Baudelaire and his writings about this feeling he called "spleen," etc.
The pragmatic aspect:
Vortex represents the long nights of loneliness and questioning, as well as the flashes of hope and euphoria that every artist or entrepreneur, or even every person with a project to which they devote themselves body and soul, encounters. Vortex recounts the infinite spirals of virtuous and vicious circles. Vortex is also a reference to the myth of Sysyphus and our relationship with working over and over again on the same thing with the same goal in mind, and starting again every day. And finally, Vortex is a reference to Baudrillard and Deleuze. What I like about the Vortex idea is that it can quickly become universal. Everyone can identify with it and interpret what they want, and above all it's a concept that's crossed the ages.
