The Protagonist was my first project, and it's
retired on Sonic4 Test Records. Check out
Memories Always Endure The Passage for the
latest albums.
This is a very important project,
infact it's the one that I value the most. The
goal of it was to capture and express my
memories and emotions through albums.
All The Memories From The Underground Classroom
was my first album, and that was about my
horrible experience in 8th grade. I was losing
my mind, and I wanted to reflect those moments
in the way The Caretaker would. I then made a
follow up with
A Classroom Above The Skies, an album with
dark jazz instead of noisy plunderphonics. And
finally, I made
We'll all wish to go back in time, a dark
ambient album about how living in the past isn't
a great escape from today.
That was when I thought I'd quit,
but just a few months later, I started working
on
Theoretically recovered corrupt memories,
one of my best and most important series of
albums. It's interesting and emotional, but it
might be boring for others. It has all of my
nostalgic memories recollected with the context
of how revisiting them repeatedly causes them to
lose their real meaning and emotion over time.
After I ran out of memories to
recover, the project started taking a different
turn.
Removed scenes, broken dreams is
an ambient album sampling two obscure
records, meant to purify one's being. From
there, everything got real serious with
Constant recurrence of delusions,
the first "modern" sounding album focused
on short repeating clips of old music to capture
the emotion of someone's mental struggle with
their memory and view on reality. And just
recently, I've released
An empty class beyond this School, my best
and most favorite album. It's about many things,
but I won't bother explaining it because I'm
running out of space.
