Streetlights blur the anxious feeling maybe I’m right maybe I’m wrong We can find some common ground to inhabit while we look around Washing out the rain makes me think that we can find an answer Streetlights blur the anxious night maybe I’m right All things have loaded meanings meanwhile it’s getting darker out Rain evens everything out

A wasted angel on this garbage day and it's not fair I just found you again and then It is the story of your life mostly looking for meaning in a city when you belonged in the country Discography....well I am swimming now How I am swimming here

I like to watch a B-movie don't like your money I miss the broken down camera little noise All I can do is break out the band All that you are is mandala sand What if we open with a sure shot set the scene and use the rule of thirds I'll use the broken down camera little fuzz All I can do is break up the band All that you are is mandala sand

about

Unique blend of electronic subgenres with experimental and classical undertones deserves a deep dive.

Recorded and produced in the artist's home studio in Toronto, "Up Down Strange Charm" is minimalist, texture-based and mostly linear electronic music. Encompassing electroacoustic, IDM, ambient, electropop, classical and glitch elements, most of the tracks on the album are instrumental with the exception of a few songs, one of which entitled, "Swimming in Denton" is an ode to the music of the late Zac Denton.

The process of making this record was all about the minute details in a musical collage and is signified in the album’s title, which is derived from four of the six flavours of quark particles, but also alludes to other mysteries of life, love and loss.
