Music is often perceived as an act of pure creation. However, for our new collaborative EP CrIspP, my partner Aymantium and I wanted to explore the primal beauty of decay. The central concept underlying the entire release is dark, surreal, and provocative: the decaying body of Jimi Hendrix. It serves as a metaphor for the disintegration of traditional guitar-driven rock music, left to decompose and mutate into a chaotic electronic ecosystem. To bring this vision to life, I took Aymantium’s original tracks and completely turned them on their heads. I pulled apart the seams of his arrangements until his guitar work literally turned to dust, assembling these sonic particles into something utterly alien, fluid, and heavy.
