about

falling backwards through the mirror
leaving this world for a chosen oblivion
from curiosity
knowing it may be impossible to return

my name, a blank placeholder
details of my existence, removed
replaced, with those of some other

the sun, stuck at the horizon
a bird, caught between wingbeats
clouds static, a faded postcard
sound
motionless
stopped

These tracks where compiled on my phone when in hospital with encephalitis over Christmas 2021 as way of keeping mental thread together when everything around me was chaos and became the soundtrack of that experience. I went through two seizures that expressed themselves to my conscious self as hallucinogenic episodes where I was experiencing a world that followed rules very different to that of consensus reality. At one point I fell into a void.

The sketches for the tracks where made the autumn before and use a mixture of modular synth, guitar fx, cello and found sound.

I'm more inclined towards lubricating life's wheels with music, but occasionally I need to save on psychotherapy bills with something more poignant; scrape past the thorns of my first world bed of roses & spring clean some repressed emotions. In this case the hypnotic, aching beauty of Simon McCorry's cello motifs on his new LP for Polar Seas as they weave through the cerebral synth shadows is just the therapeutic ticket & a stunning listen.

A wonderful musical collection that shows the unity of the whole world and the support of Ukraine during the long war, which will undoubtedly end with the victory of Ukraine. And now the terrible numbers... Only according to official data as of today #russiaisaterroriststate killed 510 children in Ukraine, injured another 1141 children, kidnapped 19546 children. There are many more unofficial victims. And russia remains a member of the UN... desynkro303
