ok this would be the debut album of my solo project i think. it's weird to think it that way because i was making music way before that, but it's truly the first full album i fully produced and released with my own songs.

 

i think i began writing and producing the songs in 2016 and finished the whole thing in early 2019. the process of producing was also my own journey of learning about production: i was having a couple of lessons and started to self-teach myself all along during that period. so it was very exciting but also a lot hard, lonely work.

​

the album does feel very lonely and intimate to me. i think when people work alone they can bring their most authentic self. to me the more personal a work feels, the more lonely it does too. and i mean loneliness is one of the big topics i tackle on this album and on a huge part of my work. and i think the album works as a way to understand why it is that way. there's a lot of self-reflection on my school life, on feeling isolated during that period, on my family, on the way i struggle with human interaction, with having my art being recognized and supported, etc. sonically i feel that i let loose my exciment for sound design and particularly vocal manipulation. i was just having a lot of fun. a particular high point is Desierto vegano: not a song that i come back very often, but one that i feel really encapsulates that research, by having 95% of the sounds used coming from my voice. that reinforced an idea that i have come back to lately, particularly as i have recognized more my trans identity and my dysphoria: that in the black box of music production your body can be anything you want it to be.
