Sleep walk life time Keep watch clenched eyes Sheathed dreams moon tide End light fire flies Wake up joy chimes Read between horizon lines Breathe dreams mercury rise Spark light dragon flies Spark light dragon flies Spark light dragon flies Spark light dragon flies End light fire flies End light fire flies

DREAMS FINDING OUR DREAMS Do you remember, The simpler times? Do you remember, Playing outside? Do you remember, The simpler times? Do you remember, Playing outside? Do you remember, The simpler times? Do you remember, Playing outside? Do you remember, The simpler times? Do you remember, The way we used to play outside? I REMEMBER DANCING IN THE CLOUDS NOTHING TO FEAR JUST EXPRESSIONS OF LOVE I REMEMBER THE TIMES THAT CAME BEFORE FINDING OUR DREAMS ON THE DANCEFLOOR DANCE ON THE DANCEFLOOR ON THE DANCEFLOOR Do you remember, The simpler times? Do you remember, Playing outside? Do you remember, The simpler times? Do you remember, Playing outside? Do you remember, The simpler times? Do you remember, The way we used to play out... Do you remember, The simpler times? Do you remember, The way we used to play outside?

I feel it slipping away all the pain, all the doubt, all the shame, Can we unlock this cage With the permission we gave To ourselves, we’re coming, We’re coming back to ourselves To myself, I’m coming, I’m coming back to myself I was stunted, haunted, Crushed by the weight of a burning past And the future, left me wanting, Anxious for answers to the riddles it asks, but I’m coming back to myself Back to myself Back to myself When cold days are said and done What keeps you warm, What keeps you held? Who takes care Of the caretakers Who runs the next mile? Reach out, make space, For the love you need To feel free… We’re coming back to ourselves Back to ourselves Back to our selves I’m coming back to myself Back to myself Back to myself

about

🌈INTERPLAY🛝 is a kaleidoscope of bangers and balms that fuel joy as resistance. It is also my first defining statement on HOPETRONICA: a psychedelic microclimate between turbulence and radiance, ritual and rave, grit and sparkle.

All the sounds you hear are born from an emergent dreaming process that began a few years ago, after I became acutely aware that grief had trained me to be stingy, and to stay shadowy. What was born on the other side is a cinema for the ears rooted in vivid emotion, queer futurism, and collective resilience.

In many ways, this record is a whirlwind of opposites that wears its genre inspirations on its sleeve as flaming hearts, playing with them until they transform into a spiralling journey. I wanted to merge shameless maximalism with tenderness, bring organic instruments and field samples into harmony with electronic soundscapes, and blend genres like house, folktronica, post-rock, downtempo, 90s drum & bass, classical, trip-hop, and electropop into a kind of radiant chaos magic.

Community care, mental health, and giving ourselves permission to embody joy and celebration are the thematic taproots of this album. The movement you hear and feel — in your feet, your heart, between recurrent melodies and shapeshifting rhythms across twelve tracks — is steered by curiosity and wonder.

Four years in the making (some of these tracks were completed three years ago), the album also asks: how do we authentically hold space for what already feels like a past life, when everything changes so fast? Most importantly, how do we identify where we’re white-knuckling or gripping too tight, in order to let go, release, and move on?

This record inverts the palette of my debut Emergence — born from surviving a random act of arson — shifting from introspective trauma alchemy to vibrant awakening on a dance floor.

INTERPLAY wants to be seen in the light during the darkest time of year, to share its refracting colours with you, and to dream a new reality alongside you.

Thank you for being here.

Vibrant album artwork by Shine Maverick (@shinemaverickbeads). I'm so grateful for your visionary touch.

Lustrous guest vocals by Marla Schreiber on Track 9. Not only is Marla my resident "Partner", they were also my dreaming coach on this album, & are a cosmic cheerleader who helps me water my entire creative garden.

Infinite gratitude for the support of family, partners, friends, communities, strangers, fur babies, dance floors, forest floors, open skies with shimmering stars & auroras, sunbeams through clouds, dreams, flashes of serendipity, the unknown, comfort food, and moments of total silliness where real magic happens.
