DUST
This record is the sound of something coming to an end.
I tried to convey the feeling of beauty collapsing, of matter transforming, of the passage of time. It is a work made of music that disintegrates, that gives way, that lets itself fall apart.
The words “Ephemeral” and “Dust” express the idea of something transitory, destined to fade, and reflect the sense of a slow, inexorable dissolution.
The sounds I chose are meant to evoke the breaking of things, whether it is the hardness of stone or the fragile, intangible delicacy of an insect’s wings.
Stones. Their material is what fascinates me, and they are the central element of this record. Their apparent solidity, their roughness, even their beauty—the colors and shapes they take on. Yet, like everything else, stones too, whether small or massive, are destined to fracture, to break down, to disintegrate until they vanish into nothingness. Not only we, seemingly more fragile creatures, but even the most imposing stones, common or precious alike, share the same fate. Everything is ephemeral, seemingly temporary. We may even accelerate our own end through our own foolishness, but the outcome remains unchanged. Everything is destroyed, only to rise again and reshape itself into something new.
This sense of impermanence was my reality throughout the period during which this record took shape, and it is what ultimately emerged.
Toward the end of the album appears the ephemeral grit of time [acoustic version], a piece shaped around the necessity of letting go and facing what cannot be avoided. It holds the fragility of existence in a stripped, exposed form.
The record closes with a second, contrasting piece; made of noise, dissonant and inhospitable, conceived to evoke the brutality of nature—its constant presence and inevitability.
These two closing tracks stand side by side without seeking a dialogue. Their tension reflects a fragile world confronted with an overwhelming force, where poetry and harshness coexist.
It is within this contrast that the album finds its final balance; between fragility and power.
