about

"The aliens are projecting OUR memories ONTO the environment!"
"I've been to the moon... there are no aliens"

Pick a side: Paranoia and tangible, terrifyingly-beautiful delusions that could very well be real, or exaggerated rationalism that can't be proven wrong but simply feels too limited to be The Overarching Truth? Do you want to believe? Do you feel like there's more to reality than what you have been taught, more to this experience than what is generally agreed upon to be true? Have you seen Them? Have you felt It?

This album is an experience, a story, a place and time in audio form that can be accessed through many methods, some sacred and age-old, some new and shiny and metallic tek. Join me in falling into madness. Reap the rewards on the other side. Feel the bliss, the joy, the excitement, the sheer rush of it all... be ALIVE with me. Come on an adventure. I promise you it won't be exactly like anything you've experienced before...

Consider this: Aliens might not be other meatbags that fly here in metal ships from distant stars. Aliens might be extra-dimensional beings with the power to drop in for a visit whenever they feel like it, with or without our knowledge. Aliens might be the beings that religions refer to, the angels, gods and demons of old. Perhaps we are an experiment to them, intricate toys in their eyes... or perhaps they see us as children, some hoping to help us grow and others planning to mess with us, to abuse and take advantage of us. Perhaps none of what surrounds us is truly "real"... perhaps they just want to keep us distracted for their own gain, or maybe this thing we call "life" is supposed to help us learn and grow so that one day we can join the "real" world. One thing is for sure: Life offers experiences that no one has yet been able to explain. Plants that have been used for thousands of years by almost every culture offer these experiences, as do chemicals discovered much more recently. No one can deny that these experiences exist, anyone can try them and see for themselves, and no one can fully explain how they make you feel and what some people have seen, heard, felt... The Mystery is alive and well, despite everything we as a species know in 2018. I have no answers for you, intrepid explorer. I can only offer one perspective, one view, one shortcut into one kind of experience. I simply ask that you give it a try. Come on this journey with me. If you do it right, you might feel something truly new...

I'm releasing this now because it has been more or less "ready" to release for over a year and it's just getting older. I was hoping to be ready to create a visual experience to accompany the audio but it simply isn't within reach yet for the current temporal version of myself. My fractal adventures likely need another year or two of experience and mastery to be able to provide both the length and the depth required to truly accompany this. For now, I would recommend the usual: pair this audio with an experience that you find exciting and dope with that hint of danger nestled within a level of personal control that keeps you safe. Ride a board through the streets late at night, play your favourite videogame, explore a forest far from civilization, dive deep into some trippy visuals (perhaps even some of my youtube videos on mute if you like? They weren't designed for this but I find that all of my art gels naturally with itself, organically, like living beings...), do whatever you would find fun and interesting and worthwhile. Of course, while I fully believe that this can be enjoyed sober, I have to admit that it is designed for altered states of mind, specifically psychedelic ones. This should be immediately evident to anyone who has been There and felt It.

As always, I heavily recommend high quality over-ear headphones or well-made speakers as the audio is meant to envelop you, to surround you, to protect you and play with your mind and meld the visuals with the mental space. And, as always, well I would definitely appreciate any donations towards further art creation, I'm also happy to give this to your for free, especially if you share it with friends of yours that you think would appreciate it. I'd rather have a million listeners than a million dollars! Nothing makes me happier than knowing that other people are enjoying what I have made and using it to add colour and meaning to an often grey culture. Are aliens "real"? Who knows! Is anything "real"? I'm really starting to wonder... please, have some fun with me. Board the spaceship. Enjoy the ride. We'll go places with this album, oh, we'll GO places, that I guarantee. As I reach outwards in time, connecting the now to my future self, all I ask is that you give us a shot. Liftoff is whenever you want it to be...

A-Merk Toronto, Ontario

Close your eyes...

Now, open your mind.

My music exists somewhere between the highest echelon of existence our species craves to reach and the astral planes one can only explore through ego death. I make music for meditation, music for relaxation, music to accompany beauty and magic...

Alter your perception however you see fit. Begin your favourite activity. Dream with me.
