about

This album was recorded in early Spring in my apartment. I've been planning to release it today for a few weeks to benefit from Bandcamp's initiative where they let the artist take 100% of the sales. It still seems like it's a good idea, but I believe that I'm not the one that should benefit from these sales right now.

I wanted to release it as a "pay-what-you-want" album. I kind of hoped that it would have been able to relax at least one person and that the 21 minutes or so that it lasts would have been able to offer a much needed break for everyone that lives with the unknown right now. Having been jobless for a few months without any idea of what awaits me in the upcoming seasons, listening to new music in the morning has been a great joy and a short escape from the reality of it all!

In the past few days however, this whole thing changed and I'm now aware that escaping this reality was a luxury. I've been (and I still am!) having great talks with the people around me, reading articles, listening to many different and eye-opening videos as well as researching ways to better use my ressources to help my surroundings.

I have decided that 100% of the money that I will get from this EP will be better used in the hands of a community that currently needs funding. I have also decided to set a minimum amount of 1$ for this one, but it will also be free to stream on Youtube. I would love to encourage the people of Montreal by giving the first week of sales to Hoodstock. They're currently doing a crowdfunding campaign that ends in a week. For the last three weeks of June, I will be donating the sales to Black Visions Collective. If you like the music, please buy it today or June 19th. Those are the two days in the upcoming month where the money will be used at its full potential.

Every small donation helps. I have also personally given to Campaign Zero. I encourage all of you to read about the many organizations out there and to donate a bit if you can! Take your time to research as much as you can to find out about different missions that may be more in tune with your own vision.

I want to send a quick thanks to everyone that helped on the album. I'm stocked to have gabri.miel on the cover art. She did the art for my previous EP as well and I'm happy to have worked with her again. Shout out to mab.f as well for the last minute mastering!

I'm excited about this release and I hope you will be as well. It would be great if it calms anyone, but it would be amazing if it could actually help a few people out there that struggles in many ways that I could never understand.
