It is lush, evocative ambience with an occasional downtempo beat or texture, a warm fog with sparse sharp edges arising from within the swirling atmospherics. Brittle strings emerge through a flickering, feathery bed of textures. Hollow pianos and eroded guitars step lightly above immense, flowing pads that surge in and back out. Distant, tiny bells echo faint rhythms that steadily ebb and flow. <\/p>\n<p><BR>The album feels partly like walking slowly in the rain at night \u2013 there\u2019s a lone light in the distance, and one\u2019s unsure if there\u2019s a distinction between the rain and the tears. Rolling amongst the colossal waves in the middle of the sea, the storm clouds push their way past. There is a duality to some songs which start out with gentle, calming melodies and soft shimmering synths and halfway through shift to a dark, foreboding mood as the music swirls and is swallowed in reverb. While \u201cThe Pulpy Center\u201d could be seen as the apex of the album with its smash of synths, horns and percussion, the sad and reflective \u201cEverything is Disappearing\u201d could be the emotional core of Michael\u2019s latest creation.<\/p>\n<p><BR>About the title, Michael says, \u201cWell, I just took the \u2018m\u2019 off the word solipsism. Very quickly, solipsism is theory that the self is all that can be known to exist. Like, I have NO way of TRULY KNOWING if this \u2013 life \u2013 is all some odd, really long \u2018dream\u2019 or a simulation, or am I a Boltzmann brain, or is it a video game, or did I die ten years ago and this is just part of that life-flashing-before-your-eyes moment, or what\u2026 And that all comes down to consciousness, which is the most truly amazing and incomprehensible thing. And we can\u2019t even really define it. Anyhow, so I wrote all these songs for at least ONE consciousness of which I am certain. They are kinda like little stories. They have a beginning, middle and end; each traverses a path of some melody, sometimes silhouetted, towards a \u2018resolution&#8217; both musically and thematically.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><BR>Chain DLK wrote about yttriphie&#8217;s 2025 debut, <strong>an extremely slow motion explosion<\/strong>, &#8220;The album feels like walking through the memory of a dream that wasn\u2019t yours but somehow still haunts you&#8230; Plaster\u2019s return to music after twenty years is like a message in a bottle washed ashore: wistful, timeless, and deeply personal. He wants us to hear the entropy in the air, the flow of everything falling apart yet coming together in its own sublime way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><BR>The eight songs stick between the throat and the lungs, capable of revealing unknown universes in the blink of an eye. <\/p>\n<h3>Projekt release: April 17, 2026<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> <a href=https:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/solipsis TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":30694,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[54,50,556,49,138,991],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-30693","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all","product_cat-ambient","product_cat-digital","product_cat-electronic","product_cat-soulwhirlingsomewhere","product_cat-yttriphie","pa_artist-yttriphie","pa_format-digital","pa_label-projekt-archive","pa_release-year-1008","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/30693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30693"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30694"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=30693"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=30693"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=30693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
