Synopsis
Clouds of Inverness was a musical composition created by Kevin Keller as part of his 2021 album, Shimmer. Seeking a new collaboration, Caruso interviewed Keller to understand his vision for the soundscape. In doing so, and understanding his desire to create music that emulated his memories of the peace and beauty of clouds passing over the Scottish landscape, Caruso, in turn, created choreography to elevate his vision from a movement perspective. Both the sound and the choreography are aligned to create a mesmerizing and meditative tapestry of movement.
