//////////////////////////////////////////

657 is a Mallsoft ambience album created over 4 months by a 15 year old Tatsuki Maceo. After being inspired by his first kiss, taking place on the mezzanine of the Fox River Mall in Appleton, Wisconsin (at 6:57 PM), he promised to make an album detailing his experiences in the mall, working as a barista.

This album involves 4 movements around the mall campus. It also involves around 30+ minutes of recorded ambience from the mall, in the same spot on the mezzanine where he had shared his first kiss. My stomach hurts in a good way just thinking about it.

657 is the idea that there is more to life than good times and cheer. More to life than winning a Norwegian Blue Fox jacket in the mall raffle, or buying christmas gifts for your loved ones. More to life than fluctuating brain chemicals, or crossing things off the bucket list and dying. Though, it represents the humanity behind commercialism. How though it may seem monotone and dystopian to some, there are human actions involved in every single part of it, all created by God. Spending hundreds of hours in this mall makes someone realize that God is living in all the people walking through the mall. God is in the mall with you. And he loves you so much. I can’t even bring myself to explain it, it’s overwhelming. It’s so overwhelming.

The heart of God beats on top of the mezzanine of commercialism.
