Does your life try too hard? Is your existential dread overwhelmingly banal? Does your thousand-yard stare summon a high violin note trembling just so?

It might be time for Mallets™! Mallets™ are the perfect addition to any postmodern post-hope lifestyle!

AKTa was specifically engineered with the silly power of Mallets™ in mind. Was it inspired by terrible, dramatic events? Nobody can tell, with Mallets™!

Though seemingly unrelated, Impromptus is an Imaginary soundtrack to intrusive thoughts. Through synths and celestas, violins and delayed pianos, it is an empathic aerial view of the cycles we go through despite ourselves. Because as unwelcome as they are, unwanted, obsessive thoughts reveal a larger framing device.

Special ♥ to Virginie Urbain

“Like most of my music, Impromptus was meant for an audience of one, a personal soundtrack on my way to therapy. A lot of us seem to be plagued by intrusive thoughts and while I used to try to channel those worries into my music, this time I just let sounds go free.

Because of that process, the tracks sound unrelated to my concerns of the time, yet they offer some kind of “extra diegetic” counterpoint to them. In that way, the music is as unprompted as the intrusive thoughts they seemingly reframe. Yet, it all stems from the same circumstances.

In some way, Impromptus is a “thoughtless” experiment that reveals chaos as an illusion. As well as other pedantic stuff, for sure.”
