Meet the Makers: The Creation of Black Swan

Updated: Jul 1

Black Swan is...

Step into the shadowy realms of "Black Swan," an album that transcends the ordinary, inspired by the profound implications of the Black Swan theory and the mysterious spiritual symbolism of its namesake. This isn't just a collection of songs; it's a journey through the cataclysmic and the transformative, created by a team whose artistry paints shadows and light with bold strokes.


Why "Black Swan"? 

The album channels Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s concept of Black Swan events—those rare, earth-shattering moments that redefine reality. That's what all artists would love, so this theory is part of the reason I called the album 'Black Swan' - A Black Swan is an unpredictable event that is beyond what is normally expected of a situation and has potentially severe consequences. Black Swan events are characterised by their extreme rarity, severe impact, and the widespread insistence that they were obvious in hindsight.



The Visionaries Behind the Music:
