waif like and blind,
frail is your body,
a conscience re-designed to be childlike and bitter
the gaunt visage you try to hide
while walking past mirrors

you have erased yourself
you've learned to hate yourself
oh what a time to be alive
burning from the inside, cremated from the inside out
i walk across the ceiling at night, i see you through all eight of my eyes
i'll zipline, venom inside
blood boils you awake, and your paralyzed
he's tried so many times
hes tried so many fucking times
to take my life away
but he'll be the first to die tonight
he'll be the first to die tonight 
you'll be the next to die tonight

NA ONDA DA MACONH4 - MC GW ( DJ KENNEDY OBRABOO )

This album consists of other SOPHIE's unreleased songs which I found on Soundcloud. I collected them into this album, mastered if necessary or "repaired" as best as I could. Hope you'll enjoy this project! We'll never forget your genius SOPHIE <3

HARD (live remix)

This piece is, first, a study in opposites. Glamour is effervescent, shimmering, and at times, tacky. In the same breath, Gore uses similar textures to colour a darker landscape; one that is ostentatious, violent, and vulgar. 

These two movements, for me, embody a kind of dichotomy in queer culture. A drag queen’s sequin gown, confetti in the air, contrasted with the grotty club she dances in. The idea of glamour has roots in the medieval ideas of shapeshifting and is something that has become a center point of queer culture since the late 60s. In the Harlem Ballroom Scene, ‘glamour,’ ‘serving realness,’ and ‘opulence’ worked as escape from the harsh reality of being gay in a world that doesn’t accept a so-called ‘lifestyle’. This idea of a facade covering the more gorey side is to be embraced, as you cannot have one without the other. 

As radical queerness has become overshadowed by its more palatable, softer, and less garish cousin, I want to ask: ‘Why do people feel the need to censor their queerness?’ 

This piece is one for the kid who was always told they were ‘too much’.

Glamour and Gore are dedicated to my teacher and mentor, Emily Howard.

This piece was performed by the RNCM Brand New Orchestra, conducted by the amazing Joseph Sieber. This piece couldn't have come together without his help!

A special thank you to Christopher Cook who mastered the audio!
