Ætherealms by BAD DAZE
Ætherealms is a collection of the atmospheres and bardic tales from my psychonautical travellogue, my sonic journal spanning mostly 2019-2023 (Save for the Return to FOREVERHOUSE song, which I felt needed a home somewhere within my BAD DAZE archiving project).
The songs are different windows, portals, returnals across the various mythopoetic valencies, veils, and verisimilitudes of storystrand and the weave I make of them in the weft of my will.
The album on the whole is not mastered in uniformity so that each window and its context could remain true to the moment of its making, at times being made literally by different selves that inhabited my consciousness.
Very grateful to Haboo for this incredible album art. She really poured through my archive of works, performances, drawings, photographs to honor the denizens and dominions, playthings, meta[physical tools, tables, portals, and potholes of the ill-logic that I cultivate in my deeply personal process of psychomagically excavating emotional choreographies and casting them into theatrical, sonorous, and material atmospheres. She brought in so many deep cuts from across my cosmology.
