about

Waiting Space' (which is an audio & visual project - and the alias of Waterford [Ireland] musician and creator, Chris Falconer).

'Genius Loci' (released 03/07/2015) - accompanied by a video filmed/created in Toronto, Canada - while visiting friends who had emigrated to the country - viewable at: youtu.be/Lt49QOB2INc

In the past few months, as my Waiting Space project continued to evolve - I reached the decision to produce a twelve-piece series of songs/audio and films/shorts, into a collection titled 'Genius Loci' (under which this single-release of the same name, lies). 'Genius Loci' is a Latin phrase loosely referencing the prevailing character or atmosphere of a place, or the presiding god or spirit of a place. Extending from this, the twelve pieces will focus on the themes of spirit of place; the sense of the individual in the crowd; mobility and travel; and the diaspora.

The single-release 'Genius Loci' is the third film/audio in the series of the same name. To offer it an abridged-description: the piece focuses on the vacuum of travelling in search of a 'something', or je-ne-sais-quoi that can take a hold of the wanderlusting individual, or indeed enforced emigrant; how those dislocated experiences may feel; and the difficulty to stop, once they have started. It is biographically-inspired by a number of friends and loved ones who have, and continue to emigrate - particularly in recent years in Ireland - particularly close to my peer-group as a late-twenty-year-old.

lyrics

'Don't get me started,
'cause if I do, I'll never finish -
and we'll be right back where we began.

We fall into cities - in search of place and meanings.
Planes, like Icarus' wings,
take me from the ground.

I am just one body, walking the veins of the cities -
hoping there's someone out there,
wondering where I should be.

I am just one body, walking the veins of the cities -
hoping there's someone out there,
wondering where I should be.

To move the furthest,
we drive on roads of lights, and dashes.
In these lanes we line up our hopes.

With tears from farewells,
we make our own oceans.
As sea shores reach out harbour arms.

I am just one body, walking the veins of the cities -
hoping there's someone out there,
wondering where I should be.

I am just one body, walking the veins of the cities -
hoping there's someone out there,
wondering where I should be.

To swell with confidence, but feel so small.
To love, and to be adored.

To swell with confidence, but feel so small.
To love, and to be adored.

(Don't get me started, 'cause if I do, I'll never finish -
and we'll be right back where we began)
I am just one body, walking the veins of the cities -
hoping there's someone out there,
wondering where I should be.

(Don't get me started, 'cause if I do, I'll never finish -
and we'll be right back where we began)
I am just one body, walking the veins of the cities -
hoping there's someone out there,
wondering where I should be.'
