This project was conceived over 3 years ago as an experimental artistic collision of media and music. We wanted to share these “familiar” visuals in a context that is all too common with our mind’s eye.

We asked ourselves, why are these images so familiar to us? Is this he world that we choose to see? or is the world that we live in?

Ultimately do we even really have a choice?

Early in their career, Round Round was really just the beginning for FM’s musical career.
