I've been very preoccupied, the last few years, with the idea of memory, and false memories especially - how easy it is to convince someone they experienced something that never actually happened. When I was a kid, I got the same sort of feeling when playing certain videogames - Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Majora's Mask, and so on - it was like the kind of "Wanderlust feeling" that'd come from reading certain books, watching certain movies, but for somewhere that wasn't real, and couldn't actually be accessed, except maybe in dreams I suppose. You'll see it a lot in Youtube comments, on old flash videos, really anywhere you turn if you look under the proverbial logs in the online forest, beneath the leaves on the forest floor, where the salamanders live. I don't really have a better way to describe it, but it comes up a lot in the blank static void of other people's lives on the internet. Lately, it's been happening to me with the Ernest Hood album 'Neighborhoods' so strongly I almost feel myself 'living a thousand different lives, to completion, in the blink of an eye, and forgetting them again like dead dreams brushed from tired eyes in the morning light' to quote a long time favorite writer.
If you do want to, that's sick as hell, thanks.ĭo you know that feeling you get when hearing certain music for the first time - it's sort of like nostalgia for something you can't actually remember, or didn't actually happen.
You don't need to read this if you don't want to. Below is a brief explanation of this record - the concept, influences, and the process of creating & releasing it.
