Inspired by this haiku written by Mark Miller, an award-winning poet and photographer who has published four books of poetry, the latest being Light and Counterlight (Ginninderra Press, 2020).

The album Gaslighting I: Prologue - MindGame represents the opening chapter of a seven-part series, each part promising to dive deeper into the intricate web of manipulation, power, and perception. 

The Concept of Gaslighting

At its core, gaslighting is a psychological manipulation technique where a person or entity sows seeds of doubt in an individual or group, making them question their memory, perception, or reality. This phenomenon is central to the album’s thematic exploration, but it extends beyond the personal to encompass societal, cultural, and existential dimensions.

The title MindGame reflects the essence of this manipulation. It is a prelude to the series' larger narrative arc—a prologue that sets the stage for a complex interplay of deceit, self-doubt, and eventual revelation. By framing the album as the beginning, the artist invites listeners to embark on a journey through layers of deception, trust, and empowerment.

Recorded sounds provide a rich and extensive palette of colors and textures.  I like to glean what I can from single short samples of sound.  I particularly like squeaks and creaks.  Lately, I've become enamored with the enormous selection of vinyl records available on archive.org.
