Everhunger

Everhunger is a semi-minimalist dark electronic work. Reduced in gesture at times, dense in sound.

The track sequence follows a symmetrical architecture. Pieces bearing a trap signature mark fixed points across the work, with atmospheric soundscapes and electronic compositions set between them. This symmetry gives the album its arc.

The project engages with the structures of capitalism, at times with a sardonic irony. Greed stands at the centre: the wealth of the few bought with the hardship of the many. The exploitation of natural resources, environmental destruction, climate change, and war appear as facets of a single dynamic.

Everhunger also follows the pull inward. Within established systems, the creative impulse is shaped to fit the construct, often at the cost of individuality and imagination. Money becomes the axis of life and the measure of one's own justice.

The titles operate more openly here than on the earlier works, tending to name their subject rather than carry it as a story in the way those did. Several hold references, most of them historical, one literary. Among these, the clearest thread runs through John F. Kennedy's 1961 inaugural address.

Work on Everhunger began in 2017 and was marked by long pauses, revisions, and discarded compositions.
