Details:
This project is named ‘Pioneer 13’, after I learned about the Pioneer 11 ‘Golden Plaque’ that was sent into space. The golden plaque is a message to alien life forms and depicts two nude figures ““ a man and a woman ““ along with diagrams of the solar system and the sun’s position in space. 13 is a lucky powerful number to me, so I had to include that.
Featuring two songs and a poem, this otherworldly EP is a project that I’d like to send into space to the alien life forms. Since I don’t have the time to wait for NASA to take me up on my songs, I figured I’d launch them into space anyways!
‘They’ and ‘Shitstem’ are about dark forces on our planet; `Time For Love’ speaks of love.
I wrote ‘They’ just before 2012 after disappearing into a YouTube rabbit hole of conspiracy theories. I wanted to experiment with exploring the idea of ‘dark powers’ controlling us in a song. ‘They’ represent the dark forces controlling the world from behind the curtain. Well… you never know, do you?
‘Shitstem’ was written in 2013. It’s about addiction, and still explores the dark forces that apparently control the planet. It’s about looking at all the addictions faced by society and you can’t help but wonder if darkness really is in control of us.
I wrote ‘Time For Love’ in 2015. Most people don’t expect a love ballad from me, which is weird to me, as all my songs are born from love. I thought this song would be beautiful to send out into the Universe, to other life forms. Maybe even in a simple guitar and ukulele version too. I’ll have to wait to receive creative guidance from my higher self! I’m really looking forward to starting Pioneer 13.
