In collaboration with the ArtScience Museum, Tim De Cotta releases “Transition” his latest single, in conjunction with a short thought film he filmed in quarantine about the changes happening in 2020, his return to creating music and his thoughts about the human condition:
“Transitions are important parts of life and growth. In nature we transit through seasons. As a planet part of a solar system we transition through time.
As human beings we transition through life. The process of change and adaptation is an inevitable one. Changes ignite meaning and force us to confront the old with the new. Life is full of moments of change and transition, and these moments define the trajectory of it.
For each and every one of us, transition is a very personal and unique experience but at the same time, big changes around us and in our world and beyond, can be equally felt by all of us. How we then process our reaction to this change defines who we become and how we make our choices that in turn lead to the other changes and transitions to come.
What I’ve learnt from this latest time of transition in our lives, in the vivid year 2020, is that:
Change is the only reality.
Time is an illusion.
Age is a process.
Death, the most logical outcome.
I’ve learnt that dealing with life, is loosely about, being able to distil how we feel, connect with those around us, alter our perspectives to confront our challenges and imagine ways to solve them and start new futures.
I’ve been saved by my imagination repeatedly once I slowly began to learn how to distil it into reality.
This time has allowed me to use my instincts again.
To take stock; to process how the world makes me feel, to process my place in it; to separate through the anxiety and depression
of our current condition and to remember what it felt like to give myself hope in every single moment.
Then I remembered who I was, what I was and I breathed;
and I did what I instinctively knew.
I created something. A song called “Transition”.”
