"Shelved album from 2018, originally made just for me. Despite a more optimistic sonic palette than much of my work, "Faces In The Rise" was made at the height of an extremely turbulent time in my life. I had not yet begun to understand my autism and was deeply insecure about it, with any visible signs of its existence leaving me ashamed and confused. My battles with gender, known only to me at the time, were also kept completely away from the light, but were beginning to take a heavy toll on my health. Feeling far removed from reality and even my own body, I felt extremely isolated and disconnected. In this dark place I found a lot of inner peace and strength in watching the repetitive cycles of the tide, soaking up every sound, every movement, every feeling and, eventually, reconnecting to myself in a way I never had before. Through this album I discovered the importance of repetitive sound in giving space and structure to my autism. It was in this calm that I was able to discover more about my gender identity, and the vital role the coast (and nature in general) plays within it.

In short, "Faces In The Rise" is an attempt to allow space for nature in helping to shape who we are, recreating these coastal textures through sound and repetition, each element its own vast world, restrained only by the barriers that we ourselves assign."
