KNIFE’S EDGE
’Knife’s Edge’ is the result of a project exploring bipolar disorder and how it affects your everyday life. I began by interviewing ten people with the disorder. That knowledge together with my own experiences as bipolar in turn informed the creation of the music and video. The piece intends to conjure a compressed version of a typical bipolar cycle: euthymia –> mania –> depression –> repeat. Please sit down and relax.
