do you ever feel like an animal locked in your enclosure? 
i used to do.
i felt like everything around me, the walls of my room, the building outside my house, the noise of the nights were the only thing that was keeping me safe from meeting the same kind of people that hurt me.
i realized later that i have built my own jail. the most comforting bubble yet the deadliest weapon against loneliness.

i want to escape my own enclosure

Enclosure

Album description by @woulgmusic:

The Body is a Prison is a deep dive into an emotional inner world, seemingly just as ready to explode into violence as it is to crumble in despair, but still somehow floating on a sense of wonder. Insane sound design glitches interject beautifully composed piano and synth layers, weaving together into some sort of enormous mechanism. Rhythms coalesce and fall apart, melodies float between seemingly infinite states, everything reshaping itself as we go deeper and deeper into the imagined world. Everything from the cohesive sonic palette, to the flow of each song and phrase, to the journey of the whole album has been considered in incredible detail. If this is Amaranth Todd’s early work in hyperglitch, I think we should all be excited for (and afraid of) what’s to come.

Amaranth’s sound design, oscillations between obscured and clear pulse, dynamic forms, and mosaic layers are exactly what I imagine when I think of hyperglitch, and is exactly the type of music Philippe Macnab-Seguin and I have been working on outlining in our forthcoming paper about Hyperglitch and Aural Sonology. All the while, Amaranth’s many years of musical experience bring new and exciting ideas to the style. The Body is a Prison launches my imagination into a world where we could have whole event line ups and labels of hyperglitch, and many communities and resources for new artists that are interested in learning the techniques, all helping to establish the edges of the genre while simultaneously expanding it.

On the Edge 

The journey of the figures through the Solar System is coming to an end. Notes of sadness hung in the thin atmosphere of this dwarf planet. Once again, there is void in front of them.
