about

Inspired by a thought-provoking interview with physicist Janna Levin on the ominous nature of black holes, particularly the terrifying notion of falling into one. Levin described the deceptive calmness as you approach a black hole in space; an exploration where the impending danger remains unnoticed until it's too late, leading to a fate both inevitable and horrifying.

This concept lingered in my mind, compelling me to translate this eerie narrative into music. The result is this collection of six songs that traverse the spectrum between thunderous, heavy riffs and serene, atmospheric soundscapes.

"Black holes are outwardly quiescent yet violent at heart."

Thank you for taking this sonic journey with me. Enjoy the experience! 🌌🎶
