"This mix was made alongside a project for an exhibition I have coming up. It pictures these reptilian-like creatures, who might have been there before us, but they might also have arrived from elsewhere, after us, and come here to observe and try to understand us. The project is about being an alien, being in flux, relying on familiarity and strangeness colliding and shaping new realities. It's about stepping outside of one's self and trying to remember early, basic and connecting mechanics of the body (understanding colours, shapes, numbers, sounds, gravity), it's about growing, and feeling more complex and subjective emotions of belonging and not belonging, (ways of loving, trusting and doubting, deciphering nuances in languages and embedding oneself in some kind of geography) and it's about imagining things to come (new types of communities with their rituals, beauty and nonsense).

 

I guess all this is a lot to put into one mix, or one artwork. The whole thing becomes quite eclectic, so I've tried to shape it in a way that could both mimic tuning around between radio waves, or moving in some kind of landscape by various modes of transportation. Hopefully it's also just a pleasant sensory experience that doesn't need overthinking. More than anything I just want people to feel feelings.

 

I made some personal notes to a few of the tracks.
