Vulnerability, gender and juiciness are topics that kept me busy for the last weeks and months.
They really opened up parts of my being I’ve been disconnected from for a long time. So it kind of feels like coming home every time a new insight breaks a chain I’ve put on my personality to be in line with society’s policy of being a „normal“ human being wearing a penis.
The great gender fluid and non-binary Alok already did a great job unveiling the secrets of those chains. For example in his book „Beyond the Gender Binary“ or with his mind-blowing statements in the „Man Enough“ podcast (
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq3C9R8HNUQ&t=3658s). That’s actually where I took their vocal samples from.
The music almost speaks for itself: ASMR-like handpan sounds combined with deep and floating baselines, of course the tune is a story in itself and reliefs are happening within every drop.
The shooting for the cover I did with my flatmate Sasa the evening right before the C hit me hard. So there’s already this special mood of feeling very vulnerable but calmed down and grounded in my body at the same time. Sasa has got an excellent feeling for the right moment to release the shutter - every photo of that session is just a masterpiece for itself! Of course they’re gonna be published soon (psst: what u think my new profile pic is coming from? ;)
Have a good ride on the tune - I’m curious what feelings and motions will arouse in your mind, body and soul while hearing and experiencing it :)
Also feel invited to download it - it’s free!
Mastering by the great Nathan Hall
