about

The quiet passage through the heliosphere. The endless nothing beyond filled with burning helium-hydrogen and carbon-nitrogen-oxygen stars. The desire to move forward, but the pull of gravity behind.

And then you find yourself beyond the reach of the sun's gravitational dominance. Unmoored, alone, you can only return of your own accord.

The Oort Cloud is a region beyond the solar system out to some 50,000 AU from the sun, or approximately one light-year. This marks the boundary of the Sun's region of space. The cloud of comets is the last vestige of heliocentric life, and, like a macroscopic metaphor for our own lives, when you leave the nest, you're on your own. This EP is about venturing on alone and trying something new while still recalling the old and familiar. Self-reliance is superimposed over heritage, cobbling new experiences together using the pieces given to you before you were even aware enough to build anything yourself.

Be bold. Be strong. You're only a quarter of the way there.
