City Nights

Passion, despair, violence, romance, mystery, revelation — as twilight falls in the city our emotions and our imaginations are heightened. Powerful unseen currents run through the city — your city, a distant city, an imagined city. We're swept along into the crucible and what happens next holds our memories captive.  The City at night is an evocative, mythic, magical place. A perfect place to make true tales tall–and tall tales true. When we called for your stories, your poetry, your images, your sounds for the City Nights project, we had no idea of the complexity – and the simplicity – and the sheer generosity of the uploads we would receive. The City Nights project on Pool and 360 was devised and produced by Gretchen Miller.  Texts adaptation, music composition, sound design, slideshow design - Gretchen Miller.
