about

Farewell, Reality or How to Philosophize with Nothing Left is the third installment in a series of cut-ups deep in the throes of social angst and isolation. Optimistic tendencies are sprinkled throughout and counterbalanced by a hefty dose of pessimism. Rather than relying on one or the other, optimism and pessimism are treated as equals, both necessary to construct a healthy state of being in a digital world in which our sense of reality is on the verge of collapse. The title of this project, which is a play on Nietzsche's Twilight of the Idols or How to Philosophize with a Hammer, describes having no objects to help one prove the hollowness of current ideologies as technology has obscured our sense of truth. We're left waiting until society crumbles to validate foundational falsehoods and instability.

Awareness, solidarity, and enlightenment are encouraged while overcoming a constant influx of disinformation. Viewing and approaching life in its concreteness rather than the modern approach through abstractification, we begin to see its uniqueness. After an unstoppable array of chaotic offenses, the album's finale reminds the listener about choice, something that in a world of mostly answers and the illusion of a whirlwind of options, is becoming obsolete.
