Music: Final Version.
As I meet more and more persons around this island, a general consensus forms that approaching music here has been... disconnecting
As I myself navigate through this, I get the sense that there are certain dispositions that would help catapult one to thrive in music, where they would then build their sense of self
Instead of the other way around, where music channels oneself into a greater sense of belonging and identity, regardless of cultural background, their status, or their technical knowledge in music
When I talk about music, it's as confusing, difficult, and boring as talking about my own dreams to anyone
But I know that's good, because music wasn't really meant to be understood by anyone
After all this time, after all the songs, the past 25 tracks in this album, I thought I had to be an artist in order to do music. I thought I had to be a producer to do music. I thought I had to be myself to do music
All the audios, all the demos, all the masters, all the recordings, it was all for me to understand one thing
Music disturbed me, and I chose to do the same
What better way to capture this moment than to capture music in its final version? The version that's boring, that's reiterated, that's repeated, through a track in the album you've already heard of in its entirely? A final version where this time, at the very end of my journey into finding myself out, I could show you a side of music that played countless times in my head like a dream? A dream I wanted to relive so that I could share its story to others, because I thought it was the single that could attract the most attention, only to find out it doesn't matter anyway. A dream that I can't describe to anyone, because it's nonsensical, it isn't captivating, it's just... music.
So, for the final version of music, this is just my 12th Demo for 'Down, Up', slowed and reverberated, and last edited around the month of August 2022.
