Individuals may report feeling as if they are an outside observer of their own thoughts or body, and often report feeling a loss of control over their thoughts or actions. Depersonalization is described as feeling disconnected or detached from one's self. Let's look it up, shall we?ĭepersonalization-derealization disorder is a mental disorder in which the person has persistent or recurrent feelings of depersonalization or derealization.
I'm familiar with depersonalization as a reaction to trauma or experienced during a psychotic episode, but the disorder is news to me. It so happens he made the film to capture the effects of a condition he apparently suffered from called depersonalization disorder.
Polyphonic singing hoax movie#
The director is Jonathan Caouette, who made his bones with a movie about his schizophrenic mother called Tarnation.
The video nails the vibe, alternating the painful optimism of kids dancing on the verses with a surreal Alice in Wonderland montage on the choruses that feels like something you saw on PBS in 1972 or the credit sequence from Night Slaves. It also has that kind of early 70s movie soundtrack vibe, and generous dollops of Fraserian frills and trills. The tune has that "nostalgia for someone else's youth" Go!Team meets Polyphonic Spree vibe, just with a lot more chops and theory. I've listened to this more times than I probably should admit in the past couple of days, as the vocal harmonies and chord changes are so next-level they are giving me an on-demand mystical experience. I don't know if that were Raymonde and Thomas' contribution or the Fraserling's, all I know is that it shreds my very soul. Raymonde said he chose this song to embrace his Coctish legacy and enlisted a Swedish Fraserling to write lyrics and a melody to the track.īut the real magic of this track is the choir on the choruses. That same enchantment reared its head the other day when a Facebook posting alerted me to this revelation, produced by two Sibyl servants, former Twin Simon Raymonde and Dif Juz drummer Richard Thomas, and their Lost Horizons project.
