In one of his letters, the Stoic philosopher Seneca says that rushing through life trying to pile up possessions and accomplishments is like hurrying through a maze: “the faster you go, the worse you are entangled.” Around the time I made this track I was working through a malaise that was both physical and spiritual. I began reading one of Seneca’s letters each morning and, like millions of others, found his wisdom to be timeless advice for living, and they were among the things that helped me disentangle myself and move forward again. To me this track feels like that process, especially the glitchy, sometimes unpredictable rhythms of the percussion. You move forward, stop, look around, things look the same, you get lost again, pause, re-orient, feel like giving up — then, after a rest, you begin again.
