These are a collection of tracks I started working on in 2017 up until this year. They sum up the reason why I started making music in the first place.

For the past year, I had been generally gradually moving my music towards a more accessible sound (I was working towards releasing an singer-songwriter album). But I decided against that very recently.

To understand why, you need to understand my influences. I listened to krautrock, and quite a lot of it. I loved the sonic and conceptual risks taken with sound.

The reason for the title of this album is because it sums up my reason for making music. With this album, I wanted to bring back to life some of the experimentation, sonic risk-taking, spontaneity and primal energy you don't really hear as much of in popular music today.

As the covid pandemic ensued, making music became more of an escape from reality. This album became a protest against the mundanity of lockdowns and everyday life, and I wanted to illustrate that through taking my sound to an avant-garde direction (once again).

Locations of recordings: Athens, Greece. Istanbul, Turkey. London, England. Edinburgh, Scotland.
