nofatclips 3rd listen: I just realized that the download has a bonus track!

2nd listen: gloomy atmospheres that seem to be about to resolve, just around the corner. It doesn't hurt, does it?

1st listen: tasteful yet powerful music making here. Favorite track: Does It Hurt?.

Justin Norman A great release that very much reminds me of exploring SNES dungeons alone in my room as a kid. The repetitive synth notes and beats give each piece an almost meditative feel, moving fluidly from haunting to peaceful tones throughout their runtime. I suspect other fans of VGM will greatly enjoy this as well. Favorite track: Fear Of The Dark.
Borg

Borg A masterfully combination of emotional melodies, interesting textures and a mysterious melancholic atmosphere. Easily, this album could have been the soundtrack of a thriller/psychodrama cult movie from Europe. Favorite track: Fear Of The Dark.

about

The brevity and darker vibe of this album, or EP if you like, reflects the darkness I had to fight through in order to create these songs over the course of the last three months.. When life is busy and chaotic and your mind is too, it's hard to find time to create, and when you do get a moment, you're often too tired or stressed for creativity to flow freely. But, in life as well as in these songs, there is always a silver lining woven into the darkness. For me, that silver lining is my art. As long as I keep creating, I don't get too depressed.

Creativity is elusive when you aren't at peace, but it's important to understand that the peace is always there. It's always a part of you. It's the other emotions that can drown out the silence of peace. Emotions are not to be conquered, or controlled, or battled, or escaped. They are a part of us for a reason.

To make peace with the fact that you aren't okay rather than resisting it, is to allow the pain to pass through as smoothly as possible, and the more you practice this, the more resilient you become. You still feel emotions, but you don't get overwhelmed by them. When you're overwhelmed, simply accept it and observe. Chaos is transitory. It stirs up old patterns and brings opportunities for change and growth. Just hang in there until it's passed - and it will pass. You can learn to float on the river no matter how rapid it becomes. You do not have to drown. Be the eye of the storm.

Enough of this suffering on repeat, repeat
Trying and trying to seek the peace
I already have it, always in me
Its silence is drowned by other feelings

I will not try so hard for peace
If I make peace with these negative feelings
They will run their course naturally
To reveal what has always been underneath

It's okay that I'm not okay
Day by day the pain will fade
Pain always exists in one form or another
But I'd rather it change than stagnate and fester.

about

millicow Kansas City, Missouri

love.

A style all of its own, inspired by rap, hip hop, synthwave, classical music, heavy metal, black metal, synthpop, and more.

Packed full of finely crafted sounds, textures, melodies, rhythms, harmonies, and conscious, insightful poetry, I translate spirit into sounds that aim to induce states of psychedelic trance and emotional catharsis.
