i dont rlly have anything to say about this. when i made it i was honestly just trying to express my ether in the purest way possible for me, which is music. I didnt add words and i didnt use a 4/4 standard timing because i didnt want any limitations in how i could express myself i wanted the song to be completely me and my soul. The singing/humming is completely improvised and first take since i wanted to make it as authentic as possible, i tend to get super perfectionist and completely change everything i make and if i know others will see it i change it for them aswell, i didnt want to end up doing that for this i wanted it to be completely my own. The birds in the beginning were recorded from my phone on my daily bike ride home, i added it because whenever im on my bike in the woods by myself i feel completely free and myself, at peace, and i wanted to put that feeling into the song. The cover is of a place i go to by myself whenever i feel sad or i want to think or i just want to be at peace and see a nice view (there r cool cows there), sometimes i go there just to scream as loud as i can because of how empty it is, its another place i feel completely free and myself without judgement so i made it the cover, I got the idea to do this from "all about lily chou chou" where they describe what ether is and i tried to replicate that in real life but i cant really explain here what ether really is so i think if anybody reads this you should watch the movie "all about lily chou chou" to understand what ether means to you.. the movie is really good and it has really really good music too. I hope somebody can enjoy this thingy ive crudely made

All Tuckered Out

The debut East Forest LP, “The Education Of The Individual Soul” is a forty-five minute uninterrupted sonic voyage down a rabbit hole of jungle monkeys, entheogenic messages, and pulsing beats – all designed to guide the listener toward inner healing. The 13 tracks weave around vintage piano, rhodes, electronic blips and bleeps, cosmic pads, with a solid foundation in minimalist melody.
