be the light / be the void

by infinite digits

supported by

napkin_sketches Short and sweet. Great energy, great sound, great vibes. Favorite track: change your mind.

Pedech Very creative use of norms synth. The stickers storyline behind light/void is also an art piece by itself. Favorite track: the wonder.

la el So well-produced, as always, and full of lush sounds. Another great collection of upbeat tunes that are a great pick me up. The mix sounds great on all of the songs too and I am envious of your song-writing/composing talents. Favorite track: change your mind.

about

this album was made for running. running is best described as a series of controlled falls which was my intention with this album. I wanted this music to lift up and then drop down gently, again and again. but you don't have to run while listening to this album. the songs are there to push and pull you along, to be a source of will if you are suddenly without.

my running has taken place in Seattle, Washington and the title itself originates from a duality in ideologies currently battling it out in the Seattle sticker war. this war is being fought between two stickers. one - a sticker that simply says "be the light" - is trying to spread optimism, but has been interpreted as an imperative declaration of toxic positivity. the other - a sticker that simply says "be the void" - promotes freedom from ideological architectures but has been interpreted as negative cynicism. often I'll see these stickers on a run, one atop another, each message trying to subvert the other.

the cover art is from a photograph taken on one of my runs. it is the inside of a tunnel where artists discretely paint (and often paint over) works while nobody is watching. this painting/re-painting of this particular artwork coincidentally depicts a being that encompasses both "be the light" and "be the void"- perhaps showing a peaceful bridge between the two sides of the sticker war.

I love the way Dan Derks describes the instruments and their qualities; I can listen out for exactly what he's talking about. His acknowledgement of his collaborators is also really generous and indicates a cool person. mitgui

such an exquisite collection of extremely talented artists. there is a great restraint that yields wonderfully complex and intertwining songs. works so well as a collection too. infinitedigits
