Not all things fade by nature. Some are made to disappear.

Evanescent Frequency mirrors a world where decay is no longer organic but imposed, where lifespans—of objects, ideas, and even sound—are carefully engineered to be short-lived. In nature, resonance lingers, and silence comes gradually. But in an age of programmed obsolescence, disappearance is manufactured, ensuring that what was once essential is discarded before its time.

The music unfolds in this same manufactured cycle. It begins with fragments—small pulses of energy, scattered textures that gradually coalesce, gaining complexity and momentum. Harmonies expand, orchestration thickens, and layers accumulate, reflecting the illusion of permanence and progress.

At its peak, the structure begins to dissolve. But this is not destruction—it is an unraveling, an enforced stillness that overtakes what was once vibrant. The density of sound fades into weightlessness, harmonies drift apart, and resonance becomes ghostly, as if the music itself is slipping away into the unreachable. The frequencies do not end abruptly but instead dissolve into an ethereal quiet, mirroring the way things vanish from use yet never fully disappear.

Evanescent Frequency is a meditation on impermanence, on the forces that decide what is allowed to endure and what is designed to be forgotten. It asks us to listen—to what fades, to what remains, and to the silence left behind.

Its the ability to let go if things are not working as planned and not taking things too seriously. There will be another time and place. By gaining strength through courage, wisdom and persistence we eventually find peace in our hearts. Staying humble, acknowledging and reflecting on our successes no matter how big or small is paramount to our well being.

Resiliance In The Face Of Adversity

In the Information Age data is an object that can be used to create multiple realities, each vying for dominance.  Some data points are ignored and some amplified, and in this way narratives are developed and reinforced.  Today’s #MusicalMinute alludes to a lot of these ideas but the results can sound confusing.  What do you think?
