Bloom by Deerful published on 2018-08-21T00:40:17Z Tell Me I Can Fix This On My Own is a mini-album of peculiar pop songs, coded in the music programming language ixi lang (www.ixi-audio.net) between July and August 2018. I learned ixi lang in an academic creative practice workshop in 2016, then subsequently forgot all about it. Late one night in July, alone in my living room, something prompted me to reopen it and I fell in love. Before I knew it, I'd been booked for a laptop music festival, on the grounds that I'd written enough material to play a full live set. This was the result. It's mostly a record about friendship. It's also a record about loss. It’s about the visceral connections that bind you to other people and refuse to let go even when they’re physically absent, but it’s also about the realisation that you are the only person who can steer your own life, and the terror and grief and joy and liberation that affords. I’ve written and released it so quickly because it felt like I had to, like there were too many stories I needed to tell to keep them inside any longer. credits releases September 1, 2018 Music, code, lyrics, artwork, mixing and mastering by Emma Winston. A million thanks to Thor Magnusson for the creation of ixi lang. Genre Pop
