Highly abstract artwork made out of a collage of highly processed photos. It is impossible to tell what they originally depicted. The dominant color is beige and brown and there are some small blue circle shapes. The albums title is written in blue letters. The whole cover gives off garage vibes.

Made some music for myself so I can have a one person party in my living room. Or in my bed when unable to move. You can join in if you feel like it. Feel free to drop me a line if you did.

Shout out to any and all long COVID, ME/CFS, disabled, chronically and/or mentally ill folks.

Each "song" is in a different tuning to better fit the mood. More details in individual song descriptions. I was going for vibes, not for mathematical perfections or showcasing the capabilities of the scales. Just vibes.

The whole vibe of this release is coping with isolation and pain in a somewhat constructive way by filling my mental landscape with some noisy thingies instead of just emptiness or endless ruminations.

Processed the vocals to make it feel sort of like I am both there and not there, so just the way I feel about everything right now. (with the exception of "something out of nothing", which has no vocals, and "out of tune with the universe" that has more prominent vocals")

This album is a continuation of the themes found in my "locked down" release.

Song descriptions below-

"something out of nothing" This song is about filling a barren mental landscape. I used various noisy outdoor recordings of mine to get a percussive effect. Tunings used: 48 and 36 EDO

"ghosted" This is what one of my OCs sang to another. What can I say, I am trying my best to have a rich inner life. This is the oldest song on this release. Tuning: 24 edo

"one person disco" Made for anyone who needs something to wiggle their toes to while isolated from the rest of reality. Made in a 12-step scale by Bohlen generated from the 4:7:10 triad. At least that is what the scala file I downloaded said.

"lonely after party" If you need something to dissociate to after the exertion of wriggling your toes to the "one person disco", this is it. Tuning: "36 equal divisions of 11/2", in more normal terms, around 81 cent EDO, and the octaves are a bit "funny" hahahha

"out of tune with the universe" This one is in bohlen lambda tuning, while my voice is doing its own thing (I am out of tune with the universe after all) The topic of this song is my sadness about losing my favourite hair tie while I was out there loking for shooting stars, and how that reminded me of all the other things, both small and big, that I have been denied the right to grieve properly for.
