audial epistles 01: accept my offering (2024)
AUDIAL EPISTLES (Æ) can be many things: a self-indulgent project, a lazy attempt at a book, a (not-so) show of uniqueness in music taste. Above all things, Æ is a letter from me to you. This is a piece of my heart in your hands. Keep it safe and keep it close to yours.
This first Æ, ACCEPT MY OFFERING, dives deep into the undiscussed phenomenon that is idolatry in romantic relationships. The mixtape is generally a mellow, acoustic-heavy one. It is split into two sides that, lyrically, brings the listener along an emotional narrative: while the invisble main character starts off with a seemingly honest crush, these feelings quickly spiral into obsession, desperation, and masochistic submission.
ACCEPT MY OFFERING is a letter penned to address questions from the darker corners of love and attachment:
When do the lines between admiration and blind adoration begin to blur?
Can unconditional devotion be synonymous with one-sided attraction?
What happens when an offering of love is not accepted?
