’Ego Death’ examines the hero's journey, the death and rebirth of the self, with the psychedelic experience as the narrative mechanism. It’s also a story about how I was changing as a person, a chronicle of my vision, values, and aspirations as an artist during the time of writing.

I’ve been fortunate to have electronic music as a place of healing in my life, a safe space to escape into and explore. Diving into this project at the start of the global covid-19 pandemic when everything was shutting down and things felt so uncertain was a sort of coping mechanism. During the 8-10 months prior to that, I had been overcome by this feeling that I had something more I needed to tell and explore within my work, something that I had been struggling to find and understand. It wasn’t until the mandatory isolation of quarantine that I was able to really parse out and confront what I was feeling and luckily I was able to make it into something tangible. This project is the result of that process.

I think a final point I’d like to offer up is that regardless of where the story ends, there is always a place beyond it. I’ve always loved to think about the unwritten narratives that follow a story's conclusion, about what happens with the characters and places after everything is said and done. I hope that those who take the time to listen to this record will consider that side of things now that this part of my story has ended.

hi all :)

I found another way
to dig up your remains
couldn't help myself I
fanned the flame

tangled in your tendons
and I'm lost just out of frame
mangle my intentions
deigned to take the blame

cutting through the weatherveins
I let nothing but your voice remain
even though there's nothing left
for you to say

sitting in stillness
bested by unrest
a moth fell to flame's kiss
the thought I get through this

suffocating silence
end up alone
scissor thin wings
reap what's been sewn
suffer for penance
bend at the bone
wait in the garden
weed what's been grown

sitting in stillness
bested by unrest
a moth fell to flame's kiss
the thought I get through this

born into mourning
stayed over night
slain without warning
brevity's bite
a leaky faucet
thoughts run dry
mounting weakness
empty eyes
