In the current context, the internet and multimedia systems have intensified the perception of an increasingly fast-paced and fragmented reality. This EP stems from a reflection on the changing perception of time in our society and intersects with the dialectic between past and present that characterizes my artistic work.
The title "From the Archaic to the Fast Self" encapsulates multiple interpretations. It references the nineteenth chapter of the verse novel "Autobiography of Red" by Anne Carson, which explores the transition from the archaic to the fast. In this context, there is a shift from a conception of time as an omnipresent and expansive entity, not perceived as a constant that punctuates reality, to the chronometric time of the nineteenth century with the invention of the railway, where everything assumes a precise temporal location.
The title also highlights how this release represents a turning point in my personal sonic exploration: a passage from the archaic self of my previous projects, aliases, and inspirations, to my present self, with my new compositional rules and stylistic choices. Formally, this release is born from a selection of drafts and ideas cataloged from 2022 to today, a period during which I developed a tendency to write compositions in blocks. These blocks are inspired by minimalist patterns and integrate portions of tracks or scattered ideas on the hard drive.
