Fragments

Fragments grew out of memory and impermanence. It lives somewhere between noise and stillness. Each track began as a small idea that stayed with me. Over time, those pieces came together naturally.

Like my other records, this album works as a continuous listen. What makes this one different is that you can start at the beginning or the end and experienced in reverse order. The emotional weight shifts depending on where you enter, the same way memory does.

This LP is dedicated to the 364 people killed at the Nova Music Festival on October 7, 2023. The attack was devastating for the Jewish people and for the global electronic music community. It was the deadliest attack on civilians gathered around music and peace. The war that followed has brought immense suffering to many. That reality does not erase what happened that day. The deadliest attack on civilians at a music festival in history stands as its own tragedy and deserves to be mourned without qualification.

Fragments is my attempt to hold space for what was lost and for what music can offer in moments like this. Sharing this has not been easy. The last few years have changed me. I have carried fear, anger, and grief while watching friends and family suffer and face unprecedented amounts of hate. I have struggled with how to speak about that without being misunderstood.

This experience has shaped what I can express through music. Fragments came from that place. My hope is that it offers a moment of connection and a way to sit with grief. Even briefly.
