about

First single from the upcoming visual album 'Artificial Flowers Are For All Occasions'.

Main Dice is an audio-visual project by Harriet Robertson conceived in 2018. Harriet is interested in rough synth patches resembling materials like cast concrete and stone, jack hammers and the sensation of bodily awareness that occurs when surrounded by large amounts of artificial materials.

‘Artificial Flowers For all Occasions’ was written at the end of two years spent living and working in Los Angeles. The absurdity of corporate rituals of a day job combined with experiencing the city as a pedestrian set a tone for a strangely jovial, triumphant, yet heartfelt journey. Waking up from a corporate lullaby, stock images of business ceremonies, free trade cities flash over a green screen and settle on one suited character rolling some dice on a concrete embankment. Based on the drama which unravels in the first chapter of Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov, the devil has come to town to trick office workers and manipulate the future with the roll of a dice. Whilst secretly observing the protagonist, he travels back in time to lay a cheeky trap and begin a series of pranks that get a little out of hand. And so: the couple quarrel in the sultry afternoon heat on the banks of the Los Angeles River. The visual album was shot in October 2019 in Los Angeles, and music recorded in Naarm, Melbourne during 2020. Whilst the visual story came before the music, they continued to influence each other throughout the editing process.

lyrics

Algorithm
Caught my soul
And now it takes me
For a stroll

Through the glade
In grains of grey
I’m dressed for church
But out to play

Start to run
Out to the road
When I hear
Your dial up code

But you never saw
Into my eye
So in the night
I slip on by

Algorithm
For the lonely
Occupies
For a short time only

Algorithm
For the lonely
But I'm occupied
For a short time only
