future 03:14 video
what kind of future have we lifetimes burned for money this life is passing quickly lifetimes burned for money
2.
sinking slowly into chaos is that what you wanted for us dying with no hope of rescue

sunlight in my eyes we turn away into darkness climb high to the light open your eyes don’t hide

about

SUNLIGHT was written during January through March 2020, when I was extremely ill with a seemingly undiagnosable illness. The EP comes from a liminal headspace; the not-knowing of what good or bad the future holds.

I wrote “future” and “sunlight” with synth programs I created on my Microkorg and a synth based on a sample of my voice. I wrote “abysm” with Crystal Cage’s synths. CC’s highly textured, multifaceted sounds were a direct inspiration for the track itself.

All of the tracks were influenced by The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. Le Guin, an intensely bleak book that I was perversely reading while I was ailing and writing SUNLIGHT. There are deep caves in velvet darkness and an empty religion, run by women taken from or discarded by their families as children, used to prop up a greedy self-proclaimed godking: lifetimes burned for money.

Other themes:
the promise of purpose falling apart in front of you
the pain of freedom
the light of the sun oppressing
the disposability of humans
our future getting shorter the more earth and life is burned for profit
