Requiem is a collection of pivotal chapters that irrevocably changed my life in differing ways. The journey to this point has been filled with hards stops, resets, selling/lacking of gear from financial insecurity, hard drive failure, dark eras lost to the grinds of life, mental health and relocation.
So why start here? Nietzsche once said, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” To call this album deeply personal is an understatement. Requiem is just as much a catharsis as a reclamation of self. I mention all of this to inspire anyone else who has also had to face similar daunting situations in their own way. Never give up.
Future works will likely go in a less personal direction or wherever the road may lead. You cannot make up for lost time but you can enjoy what’s left of it. To that end, here’s to building upon the bones of the past.. Requiem Reclamation: 25 years of rubbish
