👻 Joyless Music, Samples, Vidya!

This album was a massive deal for me at the time. I was finally just being myself. This was shortly after I had rebranded to do just that, it was a slow process but I think releasing this was the biggest milestone in that.

I wasn't hiding behind jokes and desperately trying to be funny anymore. I made the decision to just say whatever I was feeling regardless of how uninteresting, boring, or irrelevant I thought people would find it. I didn't care if this was gonna scare anyone away, freinds of otherwise.

In terms of music, everything I had made before this was a kind of cinematic ambient narrative that had nothing to do with me and usually followed some character through some traumatic event. Ultimately at their core I think they were always still just me trying to explore different emotions and feelings that I couldn't quite put into words, but this time it was me.
