Lorin’s liner notes:
I wanted to create a collection of music that reflects my diverse tastes, but also I wanted to explore the energetic balance between heaviness and weightlessness, between beauty and aggression, tension and release. Since I am on tour year round, I decided to take a few original tracks, and combine them with some remixes of older material, and some collaborations as well, to flush out as many individual pieces as possible. When I realized it would be a full album, and not just an EP, I decided to compile each song in order of how i would play it in a set: Usually i arrange my sets in terms of Acts (like a play) and each Act contains various routines (which are segments of loops/songs/samples that all flow together harmonically, melodically, energetically, etc) and then I kind of just let loose.
But energetically my favorite method is like this: start with an explosive bang, get the crowd going wildstyle. Play with some surprises and unexpected twists. If you go REALLY hard, then make up for it with something really dreamy. Or vice versa, if you get all melodic and emo, then fuckin SMASH IT afterward. Just keep playing between extremes. Eventually stop, take a breather, and change it up completely. Surprise everyone else, or maybe surprise yourself. Then rinse and repeat this exchange of intensities for a while until it is time to TOTALLY freak out. After that, enjoy a nice long meltdown into deepness.
