This track is a reflection of that headspace. \u2028\u2028<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sinking into a pretty great hyper-focus session, I spontaneously wrote and produced this entire track in a single afternoon. Like many others at the moment, I\u2019ve had stretches of time where this new normal weighs me down or blurs the hours\/days\/weeks into white noise. But I\u2019ve also experienced waves of clarity and focus within that sense of borderless time, which compliment much of my creative process. I\u2019m a very spontaneous song-writer, and that can be a problem when a song comes to me in a situation where I\u2019m not able to up and leave to catch the track before it falls out of my head again. Sadly, \u201csorry employer I\u2019ll have to leave it there today, I\u2019m feeling inspired\u201d doesn\u2019t tend to fly. So that is one small silver lining I can take from all of this &#8211; I have been able to catch \u2018em all (the mind songs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2028\u2028I decided post-hoc to make a video for the track. Although the song\u2019s vibe isn\u2019t strictly synth-wave, that aesthetic has felt extremely relevant to me lately. I don\u2019t leave the house anymore. My laptop has become a near-permanent appendage. I spend much of my time online, on forum boards, or playing computer games. I\u2019ve been building a world in Minecraft. I\u2019ve been teaching myself how to animate. I\u2019ve been learning a little bit about code, and I\u2019ve been nostalgically consuming early graphics works. The first digital animations and video games were created before I was born. In a way, it feels like they\u2019ve always been there, like a part of nature. But also, as I grew more sophisticated, so to did technology. As a 91 baby, it\u2019s always felt like the computer world was growing up, just as I was. \u2028\u2028<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The larger body of work that Rewind Repeat belongs to is an album that centres around the concept of anthropomorphising the world around us. Seeing faces in the clouds. Hearing voices in the wind. Attributing human characteristics to non-human lifeforms. Believing in God. That\u2019s where the idea of simultaneously building and chasing the sun came from. The ability to project human qualities onto inanimate things is a higher-order cognitive process. The earliest humans likely developed it as a way to hedge their bets &#8211; it\u2019s safer to assume that something\/anything\/everything is human-like, as humans are what we need to be most concerned with. You can think of the higher-order cognition as akin to the 3-dimensional render that is arrived at only by piecing together the cruder shapes, forms, and patterns that the video opens with. Play the game, build the sun, chase what you\u2019ve made of it, rewind, and repeat ad infinitum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Play the game, build the sun, chase what you\u2019ve made of it, rewind, and repeat ad infinitum.&#8221; Electronic producer Arrom returns with a glitched-out synthwave reflection on interior life in Melbourne, living through a strict&nbsp;lockdown&nbsp;that last 100 days with movement restricted to 2 hours per day in a 5km radius.
