HYPEFREECOLLIN

My full album Growing old and moving on, on all streaming sites. I created the project as a fractured continuation of my musical "career"/legacy, in honor of my dear beloved late best friend Bison Diesel, an incredible technical drummer and amazing human who spread love and positivity through the power of friendship. Most of the lyrics relate to his passing directly, and share my observations on the circumstances of the fallout thereafter- emotionally, mentally, socially, etc.

Creating this project was incredibly satisfying from the inception all the way through the finish line. It gave me perspective on what it takes to truly "do it yourself".

Growing old and moving on booklet insert. Layout and “design” by me. Thank you to Aldous Massie for the amazing artwork on the cover. He is an old acquaintence from an ancient Internet forum. An Australian-based designer, I’ve been an admirer of his work for years, and own a couple of his prints that I’ve framed and have had hanging on my walls as my most prized pieces of art. His ethereal, otherworldly designs depict the search for purpose and meaning, stripping away reality to the human essence- beams of energy- light, thoughts, emotions, spew forth from shadowy humanoids in nostalgic synthwave cube-prisons. Thank you/sorry to byfennel, Australian-based street artist, for his die-cut illustrations that serve as evocative clipart throughout.
