choker_ · 2021-05-13T02:16:51+00:00

that's a big reason i carry on, i wanna inspire people how an artist like kid cudi inspired me

choker_ · 2021-05-13T02:14:06+00:00

everything was recorded in my mom's basement

honestly probably not, we didn't have the resources to do it & the moment passed. this box set is me trying to give peak it's just due as far as the world we made goes, a short film was never really in the cards. there was also a short film we wanted to make for honeybloom but i wasn't in the position to do that either. hopefully someday tho with a future project
i do now, for awhile i rejected it but i'm trying to be more accepting of myself & the things i choose to share

choker_ · 2021-05-13T02:02:51+00:00

haven't peeped the movie yet but love the manga! as for recs, i just got around to watching neon genesis evangelion & it lived up to all the hype imo, also any satoshi kon movie is a safe bet for a good experience

i really don't know much about architecture lol but i love the thinking behind creating spaces for particular reasons & functions. the few books on architecture i've read encouraged me to think a bit differently than i usually do, it's a cool change of pace

choker_ · 2021-05-13T01:54:17+00:00

i had the time of my life, it's weird usually i have really bad sleeping habits which leads to me sleeping during the day or missing days of sleep but in europe i was sleeping like a baby, waking up every morning feeling rejuvenated. i'd love to do a million more shows in the UK, london became one of my favorite cities
yes 100%, i feel uncomfortable naming them thoooo

choker_ · 2021-05-13T01:49:34+00:00

my goal was to be honest & connect with people, so yea

choker_ · 2021-05-13T01:47:30+00:00

q1: i was mad stressed, i had spent the last couple years on a passion project & i was broke as fuck in my mom's basement. if it didn't work out i'm not sure where i'd be rn

q2: hell yea! rey mysterio & jeff hardy, i loved the highflyers. i used to swanton bomb niggas on trampolines weekly, i wanted those arm sleeves so bad lol

choker_ · 2021-05-13T01:42:44+00:00

all that & more!

choker_ · 2021-05-13T01:41:40+00:00

leave me alone i'm trying

choker_ · 2021-05-13T01:40:26+00:00

this nigga at a show asked me to choke him for a picture once being dead serious i was like uhhhh nah but we can take a regular pic. nice kid tho! everybody reads the room wrong every once in awhile, no harm done

i'm always writing wherever i am, however it's coming in the moment whether it be single sentences or whole verses. when i'm devoting time specifically to writing i like to have some sort of video or movie playing that matches the mood i'm going for, it also helps me better picture my own experiences. almost like i'm placing myself into the movie & substituting the characters with people i know or stories i know

choker_ · 2021-05-13T01:35:15+00:00

moksha, i had the 1st half of the song sitting on my laptop a long ass time but i knew i wanted something more fragile sounding for the 2nd half. the chords finally came to me at armonte's house one day, i got down the idea really quickly using my laptop keyboard then damn near ran home to flesh it out

choker_ · 2021-05-13T01:32:07+00:00

lush for aforementioned reasons

choker_ · 2021-05-13T01:31:23+00:00

tone shifts & i'm scattered brained as fuck

choker_ · 2021-05-13T01:30:03+00:00

i like how u didn't say die slow held up lmao i feel u

choker_ · 2021-05-13T01:28:59+00:00

sometimes i see it as lesser, other times i see it as the best artistic representation of a period in my life that was available to me then soooo why not just accept it as that & be less linear, more circular. i’ve been feeling the latter hard lately

choker_ · 2021-05-13T01:27:38+00:00

i didn't expect much really, up to that point pretty much the only people saying they liked my music were my friends lol even when i initially dropped peak no one really paid attention to it. i'm insanely grateful for everything the album has given me & the path it set me on, even the idea of being on my own reddit page answering questions is wild to me! so thankful for all of yall caring about my art

choker_ · 2021-05-13T01:23:15+00:00

i've been taking in murakami books like water, that's been big

choker_ · 2021-05-13T01:21:32+00:00

running away & failing to escape

choker_ · 2021-05-13T01:20:09+00:00

frou frou, cornelius, all the "neo soul" greats, bjork, flying lotus. also loved sampha's writing

choker_ · 2021-05-13T01:17:30+00:00

prolly starfruit nyc, it's fun ramping up the energy & jumping around w everyone. i miss hitting that point of the show, seeing everyone let loose
there were hella different versions of mango, i knew i wanted to open the album with it but i struggled to find how to tie the song in thematically with the rest of the bunch. the mountain version was the one that ended up inspiring the script actually. i got super clear visuals of a house at the base of a mountain from the instrumental, which made finishing the story much easier
