about

Recorded from 2020 to 2022.

The pandemic was a source of alienation for many, and for me as well. I fled here to record my daily diary of sounds, where moments of time slowed down, where the strange and the wonderful coexisted, where rules could simply be thrown out the window, where the tyranny of the beat box was easily ignored. Searching for remote collaborators, I encountered people from many different countries, all of them wanting an R'n'B beat to rap over in order to dwell on it. I was past that, I was post beat. I wanted it quiet like a tomb around me, but with synths.

On occasion, while I was recording some of these pieces, an Old English Sheepdog named Daisy would come over and bite me hard. I still have a scar.

This collection is therefore dedicated to Daisy.
