Fort Lauderdale’s own NORS Records presents a tantalizing glimpse into the future with Some Distant Memory‘s “Just A Story” Flourish Refurbish Mini Trailer. For those in the know, Some Distant Memory is the brainchild of Jasper, an artist whose experimental electronic rock draws inspiration from New Wave, Post-Punk, and the raw energy of Outsider Music. But this isn’t just music – it’s a multimedia experience woven with lore, community, and a dedication to artistic vision.
The trailer offers a sneak peek at the award-winning music video “Just A Story” (formerly known as “All Wet”), which is currently in progress. It’s a carefully constructed visual appetizer designed to whet the appetite for a larger project that has been brewing for over a year.
Jasper and the NORS Records crew aren’t giving away all their secrets. The trailer’s visual elements are deliberately symbolic, hinting at themes of rebirth, romance, and self-esteem. It’s a puzzle box of imagery, daring the viewer to decipher its meaning before the full video drops.
Accompanying these visuals is an unreleased track titled “Flourish Refurbish.” The story behind this song is almost as intriguing as the music itself. Born from requested parts of “Enveloping Decay” (from the Infinitum album by Jasper‘s sister), it’s a testament to the organic, collaborative nature of the Some Distant Memory project. There’s even talk of releasing “Flourish Refurbish” as a single between the video’s completion and the arrival of the second part of the Reflections album.
To understand Some Distant Memory, you need to understand NORS. What began as a community clan within the online world of Runescape/Gielinor in 2011 has blossomed into a multifaceted artistic collective. NORS is about inclusivity and camaraderie, and NORS is where Jasper began his multimedia journey, starting with a Runescape music video (RSMV) for OMD’s “Electricity.”
The backstory delves into the lore of Gielinor, introducing Nora Lumwood, the universally beloved Baroness and mascot. According to their world, Nora is born to Gaius and Aezien, studies Musical Appreciation, saves Jasper’s life, and ultimately collaborates with him to enrich both Gielinor and Earth culturally. It’s a wild, imaginative tapestry that blurs the lines between reality and fantasy.
NORS’ history speaks volumes about resilience and adaptability which makes them stand out amongst many others. The members of NORS believe that being clan-centric enhances the gameplay experience as it promotes teamwork & social interaction within the RuneScape community, making each adventure more rewarding.
Some Distant Memory has already garnered attention with their Reflections album (part one), particularly the track “Just A Story.” This song, along with others like “Novel Narrative Instrumental,” “Raised In The Shades,” “Beauty Untouched,” and “Forwards and Backwards,” has earned praise from many media outlets like Daily Music Roll, Cali Post, New Edge Times, and Hollywood FM Digital.
The “Just A Story” Flourish Refurbish Mini Trailer is a statement of intent. It’s a promise of things to come, a glimpse into the evolving world of Some Distant Memory and NORS. Keep your eyes peeled for the full “Just A Story” music video and the potential release of “Flourish Refurbish.” This is a project that defies easy categorization, and it’s all the more exciting for it.
