Keeping Faith

I experienced a musical creative burnout (and an energy burnout, to be honest).

I stopped composing for a few years, stopped playing anything at all. I traded this creative outlet for others, tried writing, drawing, turning ideas into reality in smaller forms.

I feel like music can sometimes be more overwhelming because it requires more disciplines (writing, melody, concept, visuals), and sometimes I’m focused on one aspect rather than another. With the lack of energy I was feeling, there was no way I could keep working on my Demising Faith project.

But, alas, that was a bit of laziness involved too… These are silk excuses that keep me comfortable, and I think it’s time to break out of that cocoon.

I’ve started thinking about Demising Faith’s first album again.

With the first EP, I started this electronic project focused on a mixture of different ideas, centered around existential philosophies. This album will follow the same lines, but with a more consistent sonic direction. The Detached Signature EP was a very broad sound exploration, and I want to keep discovering new ideas, but in a more cohesive way. I want it to be an album, not a compilation.

I’m thinking of keeping a written record of my thoughts throughout the development of this album. I’m also taking this opportunity to finally use a feature I implemented on my website a few years ago but never actually used: series 😌 and this is the first post to kick things off!

I’ll end by sharing my current tracklist. It’s not final, but it already gives me some direction:

Saudade Phantasma
Sine Sin Radice
Dictabranda I
Dictabranda II
Rivers of Denial
VII
