Info:

My most recent "magnum opus". I suppose it's because I made this tape when I was kinda depressed. Music was always my friend. Not literally, but always felt like it. I had my music, even in the worst moments of my life. So I guess I can consider it a friend. This tape tells a story of some sorts. Each and every song is about a part of me, or some aspect of the things that compose this "me". I find it rather atemporal, since i'm still me, afterall. And this me is forever imprinted into magnetic tape. The name comes from the Magazine song (which is in the tape). I think I feel like an insect. But that's a good thing. It took me a while to understand that we are nothing - well, i'm nothing. It's an absurdism thing. I'm grateful for being nothing and everything at the same time... This is life, I guess.
