spectral

And that certainly remains true. I would honestly call “Spectral” a documentation, journal, or diary so to speak. There are words and tunes that I would’ve never expected to release on a record, all true to genuine moments and sensations I’ve encountered. Even the final track that was written after I established wanting to release it has become one of the most important pieces to me that I’ve ever created.

Writing is like an instinct to me. Hearing thoughts in my head, feeling sensations from my body; my mind likes to find a way to continuously translate my experiences to words. They seem to dictate my very existence in ways that even memories can’t. I have hundreds of typed notes on my phone, many of which are perhaps less than a sentence or incoherent scrambles of words. Sometimes I’d find them days later, and a lot of things would go through my head. It was often relevant to fear or disgust.

However, there was an instance near January of 2018 in which I sat down with one of them and decided I wanted to create something more than that prominent uneasiness it induced.

“Spectral” is a desperate search for something beautiful in what I found so incredibly ugly.

I hope you can feel them.
