Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
These simple, one-take videos, relate personal experiences to the current conflicts in the Middle East via the most basic of means (a hotel room, a camcorder, John’s personal thoughts, concerns and convictions).
