about
Drowning In The Light was created using the recorded sounds of a loved one crying and screaming in the throes of a mental breakdown to trigger melodies on a modular synthesizer. Large swells of distorted notes were also triggered by screaming the words “I love you” into a microphone – casting a lifeline in an attempt to turn darkness into beauty.
All proceeds from the sale of this track will go to the National Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health – an organization focused on the issues and advocacy of children and youth with emotional, behavioral, or mental health needs and their families.
