The album is named after the permanent condition - the distance between what we've built and what's actually there. Not a crisis. Not a breakdown. The quiet hum of a world still running but no longer running on what it thinks it's running on.
Everything looks normal. The lights are on. The systems hold. But something underneath has shifted, and the music knows it before you do.
Each track moves through degrees of awareness. The early sound is held, coherent - compensation working invisibly, a cost you feel in the texture before you hear it in the melody. Then something gives. Not all at once - a sound that shouldn't be there, a silence where the structure used to hold, a moment where the ground you were standing on reveals itself as something built, not something real.
The album doesn't resolve into answers. It thins the walls. It stays close enough to the edge that whatever lives on the other side - raw, ancient, indifferent to everything we've constructed - can reach through.
TILT is not the sound of things falling apart. It is the sound of finally seeing what was always underneath. And choosing to keep listening.

In TimeThe music video for In Time was the first time I applied my filmmaking to storytelling for one of my songs. The ideas for this film were inspired more by cinematography than narrative. I didn't want something to distract from the music, but something that would accompany it.
The shots are each focused on telling part of a story, but without any clear direction it leads more into abstraction. Symbolically, I feel the film works better that way, given the ideas grounding the song. "In Time" explores the idea that there is a bigger version of me always waiting, even while I'm lost and confused, running or unsure. That really speaks through the scene where I'm moving up the escalator and down the escalator at the same time.
The film crew were my siblings, which made the shoot even more special. We hung out in the city on a weeknight and just played with shots that looked cool, and I think that led to the style being abstract.
