    Released: Motion Fused - EXISTENCE

    The new Motion Fused album "EXISTENCE" is now available in digital format from the Online Store.

    ______

    EXISTENCE is a score of instrumental work by Aaron Potter and Daniel Brunet, demonstrating the possibilities of Motion Fused.

    By using raw instrumental concepts, Motion Fused aims to create an immersive and intimate emotional connection for the listener or viewer when complimented by a visual project.

    Primarily inspired by the rich and engaging themes of Sci-Fi, Thriller and Horror film genres, Motion Fused is also adaptive to Art-House, War, Urban, Natural World and Atmospheric productions, as well as the visual arts in sculpture installations, dance and light exhibitions.
