Somewhere in Between — Venus Volcanism Blurs the Boundaries of Love and Consciousness in Video for Dreams

Venus Volcanism, an Iceland-based project by Crete-born vocalist and producer Rena Rasouli, released a song called “Dreams” that explores the space between waking life and sleep. Created a year ago in Siglufjörður, Iceland’s northernmost town, the song blends dark pop, ambient composition, experimental electronics, and neoclassical music. Rasouli keeps a bedside journal to record dreams and uses them as a research subject. The accompanying video, directed by Tassos Gkoletsos, depicts ordinary routines during Iceland’s long winter darkness while internal imaginative worlds unfold simultaneously. Rasouli describes existing in a suspended state between conscious and unconscious during winter months, functioning on autopilot while dreaming internally. The song’s love story involves an imaginary lover, treating imagination as a parallel dimension of daily existence.
