A multi-modal work articulated across sound and text: a 9-track electronic album alongside a book-length work of experimental writing.
Across both forms, Kicking A Dark Horse is governed by controlled instability—chaotic structures that cohere without repetition and evolve without resolution. The text unfolds in fragments—part diary, part landscape study, part fever dream—extending the disjunctive, textural logic of the music into literary terrain rarely inhabited by a music edition.
“ To observe “Florida” (both the physical space and my on mental state) is to watch someone who refuses to tie their shoe and then proceeds to trip and fall down the stairs. it is a place so full of promise and possibility, but also one that seems incapable of getting out of it’s own way, or even acknowledging what it’s hurtling towards, which is at once both stupefying and predictable.”
