I wanted to experiment with different sounds and explore everything Temple’s fantastic sound system has to offer. There’s a deep love for music and sound here — in all its forms — that shows in the care and attention the organizers put into every detail. This creates a space where listeners are open and receptive to adventurous artists who strive (and succeed) to share moments of unity, chaos, and peace.

For this set, I wanted it to be nuanced but not detached. It’s an emotional journey, but a subtle one — like the best poetry, it hides its meaning in oblique references and unexpected twists, yet the emotion is always there. Then the enveloping drone comes, unraveling everything that preceded it, until it all bursts open at once.
