blurstNRG by doktorb
P&R 7
I think the internet is making me sick.
It has infected me with its blurstNRG, tickling the pleasure centres of my brain so wonderfully that I can’t help but open myself up to this reality destroying media virus which dissolves my sense of self. The music on this album is my best attempt to communicate how it feels to be logged on in a world where we cannot truly ever be logged off because, even if we close all those browser tabs, shut down our computers and put away our phones, all the things we’ve seen cannot be unseen…
…so we struggle on, living in a world that is haunted by the ghosts of all the memes that never quite landed. Our nerves frayed, huddling together to avoid the searching gazes of washed up internet celebrities who are trying to re-assert their cultural relevance in a world that no longer cares if they live or die. We seek refuge in the connections we find with one another, holding on to friends like life-preservers as if we’ve been cast adrift in the open sea. Risking furtive whispered conversations as we float around the edges of a discourse that is so screen damaged and irony poisoned we fear it might be too late to touch grass. But don’t worry, we’ll be fine just as long as the context doesn’t collapse any further.
I am sure the centre can hold.
lol.
