comment: |
The period between DEREALIZATION and my last release brought
significant changes to my life. The ways in which I see the world
around me changed, and I developed a certain dissociation from it.
Moving to a house in the woods, choosing sobriety, opting out of
social networks, and living through a global pandemic narrowed down
my social circle to the point where I often found myself in total
isolation. These moments were sometimes filled with melancholy, but
I also found myself embraced by feelings of clarity, calmness, and
acceptance. Detaching from the past, as well as my previous
moniker, removed all boundaries I had felt constrained by, allowing
me to express myself more freely. This helped me create sounds that
evoke a broader palette of feelings and approach music production
in a more experimental way.
I was questioning a lot of things in the process of creating this
body of work, including my relationship with the past, myself, and
my identity. Spending time in solitude and working on music,
together with long-distance hikes in the mountains became a sort of
therapy that allowed me to find peace within myself. Shaping the
sounds often elicited an almost meditative experience where the act
of creation was more important than the actual outcome. As a
result, the music that forms this album is more organic and fluid,
stripped of any beats. It traverses deep soundscapes that are often
unsettling, sometimes possibly even beautiful — an intimate journey
walked with peculiar emotional footprints. As the track names
suggest, the process of DEREALIZATION was composed of different
states or acts. While they may sound destructive or even
self-destructive, the entire process has truly been about
self-discovery. I have learned to no longer allow my past or
surroundings to dictate who I am.

Hi chaps! This is the new retrofuturistic "back to the future"
obso-leet AMOK nfo hybridising oldskool ASCII art and YAML.
This nfo is designed to be both human and machine readable.
We also bring a few more things:
- The filenames are appended with ISRC codes disambiguating common
dupechecking problems like remastered and remixed tracks,
transliteration errors, foreign characters...
- id3 tags include a lot more metadata than average releases,
some to name a few:
- extended genres (extracted from last.fm/bandcamp)
- similar artists
- BPM (also shown in the tracklist above)
- URLS for that release on various websites for listeners to
look for more info and to simplify nukers' jobs checking
releases
The schema_version tag allows that nfo format to evolve and stay
compatible. The current schema will be published in the near
future to make sure all .yml.nfo released will use the same
structure and set of keys.
schema_version: 0.0.6
