ABOUT PENDULUM
“PENDULUM” is about the inescapable journey into the future, as seen through the horrified eye of someone who wants nothing more than to hold onto the past; A panicked soul watching helplessly as their identity and sense of self is swept away by the unstoppable forward current of time…
“Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player / That struts and frets his hour upon the stage / And then is heard no more.”
- William Shakespeare (Macbeth)
