"The Consensus Costume" is a blistering takedown of how social consensus masquerades as truth, dressed up in the garish robes of prestige, clout, and algorithmic approval. It skewers the modern cult of expertise—where "blue check gospel" and viral prophets trump genuine inquiry—urging listeners to strip away the performative facades of groupthink and reclaim unfiltered verification. Like a sonic exorcism, it exposes how we trade soul-deep discernment for shallow applause, blending rage against the machine with a whisper of liberation in the silence beyond the feed.

The Consensus Costume

Winnipeg composer, retired from the farm, still chasing meaning in melody. My work lives where TV cues meet YouTube soundscapes, with a few albums in between. Built in Mixcraft Pro, fuelled by late-night coffee, stubborn curiosity, and a Stoic’s sense of timing. Also writing on politics, history, and philosophy, because sound isn’t my only instrument.
