about
Coming straight off tour into quarantine, I left one surreal world only to enter another. Attempts at creating original music have long eluded me. With unexpected time on my hands at the outset of quarantine, I found myself going into the studio, pushing record, and just letting things come out.
"Midfate" is a first effort. It was built on the first motif that came out of me (the opening loop). I never meant for this to become a finished piece. It began as an aimless walk which felt more like therapy than intention. When it started evolving into something, I wanted to preserve that feeling and the spontaneity with which ideas were being captured. So, a conscious decision was made to capture ideas in real time, leave them unpolished, and not dwell on things.
Part of its coming together became an attempt to create affected-sounding strings acoustically, without effects. Another was to sonically reflect the mood of the strange, surreal world in which we all found ourselves living.
