about

This album is the result of a three-year long collaboration between Sister Waize and an anonymous online artist named Suravi.

Suravi got in touch with me years ago after stumbling upon my music during a very emotionally vulnerable time of their life. They claim it helped them break through a wall of anxiety and depression that had been built up over several years of negative thinking.

From one of their emails:

"Everything just felt so fucked up all the time, like everything I did was wrong, and everything I thought was even more wrong, you know? It was like I didn't know how to think anymore, I didn't trust my own mind and I was always scared... your music was the mirror I needed to see what I was doing to myself. Each track felt like a monolith, like a fucking alien spaceship was landing inside my skull, pushing all of my shitty thoughts so hard in my face I had no choice but to be honest with myself and realize how self-abusive I had been."

Initially they came to me to ask for my permission to use a track in a video art project they were working on. Somewhere between the ongoing conversation, and the passing of project files back and forth the concept for this album was born.

This is a brand-new re-visitation of my older folding drone archives, collaboratively reconstructed entirely out of my original recordings that were the source material for all of my earlier folding drone works. I supplied the source material, stripped of any and all digital processing, and Suravi re-edited, re-mixed, and re-mastered the material. The packaging of this material (i.e. the album art, tracklist, and track composition) was done by me. The album was conceived by Suravi.
To explain, from another email:

"...it's like, positivity can be anywhere if you know what you're looking for. Eventually I learned that even suicide could be spun to have an optimistic outlook. "Maybe it would be better if I just died?", well, what if I just applied that idea of 'better' to aspects of my life that I want to get away from? I remember thinking, 'at least I can still imagine 'better' as a concept' and I worked from there. I clung to that sense of 'better', and never let go. Applying it to my life, to my relationships, and to my work is what got me here... Discovering that I was really just wishing I was better through thoughts about killing myself changed my whole outlook, and saved me from myself."

Enjoy,
s.w.
