about

This album is the culmination of *so much* I don't even know where to begin except to say THANK YOU for listening and connecting in this way. Finding receptive minds is incredibly difficult for this type of music - it doesn't fit neatly into any genre and maybe that's part of the reason I needed to make it: too energetic to be ambient, too electronic for post-rock, too ethereal for prog, too structured for psychedelia, too dark for new age, too heavy for chillout. It’s unpeggable!

The title really comes from a fascination with self-awareness and how incredible and fantastically rare it must be in the universe. And it’s not just a gift - it’s a gift and a burden. When we look to the heavens we can feel at once a primitive fascination and overwhelming sense of vastness and insignificance - but this loneliness is irrational because we have each other - we have *so much* to embrace…
