"Music Diaries" by Zoe Scruggs
Here at SHEESH! we are all about creating and that's exactly what we asked our Collaborators to do! Check out this video from Zoe!
"This video is a couple of visualizers and videos from my camera roll combined with songs that will be on my newest project This Feels Good. Which will be released on all streaming platforms May, 27th 2022. A lot of the landscape videos are from my personal archive of videos riding in the passenger seat as I’m either leaving or returning to Delaware. And they remind me to be grateful of how beautiful the state I grew up in even though so many of my memories tied to this place were traumatizing. In the same way my project This Feels Good sonically plays with the same type of contradictions, finding beauty where there has also been pain. That’s why to me, the project feels moody but also danceable and serene."
