Don’t Breathe
The record listens like a broadcast from the outer limits of sound, where acoustic shadows and analog glare flicker between organic and synthetic, and rhythmic pulses drive the electro dance of a future haunted by its own reflection. It’s part of my expanding mythos This Music Wasn’t Meant for Us, which blurs the line between film score and concert experience, merging awe and fear into something intimate and unnerving. Reviewed in Rue Morgue (Jan/Feb 2026 issue).
