蜉蝣的生命週期像一場從背景鋪墊、氛圍烘托、努力掙扎、不停蛻變、等待時機上演炙熱卻短暫的實驗劇目般，在幽謐的夏日湖泊演繹戛然中斷的魅韻譜曲。稚蟲期的蜉蝣需要在水底經歷一年長達二十多次的蛻皮才能緩慢成長為顯著的亞成蟲期，背面會萌發新生的翅芽，而足、尾還未完全發育成熟。亞成蟲出水後會停留在植物或石塊上，再經過一天左右的時間將空氣充滿消化道完成最後一次蛻皮，口器退化，失去進食功能，依靠之前積蓄在體內的能量來維持生命，最終成為成蟲。然而在這數小時或多則幾天的週期內， 當然牠不會坐以待斃，也不會黯然自哀，從學會振翅到飛行，首要是巡視池塘之外的環境，探索爛漫的森林，吸收陽光的溫暖，然後要跟同伴打招呼，尋找配偶，再低空飛行至沼澤就地產卵，幾乎所有的精力都用於交配來結束生命最後的旅程。

當祂們完成最後的交合，數以萬計的蜉蝣通通墜跌懸浮水面，隨波漂流，卵在合適的地方孵化然後定居下來，這些漂浮水中的蜉蝣和一部份的卵成為魚類的食物，蜉蝣在結束短暫的生命後決定把身體獻給魚類當食物，成為牠最後的歸宿。

我為這種蟄伏恆久卻短暫閃耀的生命方式而感到“美”，某種意義上終極浪漫的方式是死亡，而新生再到死亡的過程猶如篩選浪漫感知體驗的過濾器，就像人類不斷流連於一個又一個不同的人或人群，追逐被操控的遊戲棋局，享受流於浮表的虛華包囊，從極樂到極哀，從低伏到綻放，從新生再到衰敗一切都逃不過基本的生命奧義法則，一切都那麼明媚而憂鬱，深陷魘花漩渦卻無法自拔。

A Walk In The Park

EMIT.8 is Canadian fashion designer and decorated judo champion Josh Reim’s debut full-length.

It’s a brooding, melodic work painstakingly sculpted in the Quebec and New Hampshire countryside. The album brings anguish and relief in equal measure, reconstituting human pain in digitized form—like a disembodied nerve system animating a sinewy mech suit. It’s heartfelt and cold, alien and intimate.

The work builds on Reim’s previous project, 2021’s Circadian Rhythm EP, which found harmony between disparate influences like Joyce Manor, Giant Claw, and Bach. EMIT.8 is built on traditional pop structures, rendering gleaming, cybernetic sonic architecture on its foundations. The songs traverse time, penance, faith and the interaction between them, finding a blissed out state of grace in the quest for redemption.
