“I’ve determined previously few weeks that due to this and I wanted to only be…. Me,” he continues. “The questions of Who am I? Why am I right here for? Is that this proper? The fixed chatter of self doubt and isolation… all of it wanted to cease.”
Hospital beds make unlikely recording studios, however his three-year absence apparently doubled as a masterclass in gothic digital music.
