Darkness in Fog: A Song Born from Spiritual Awakening

🎧 Every follow helps me keep creating! If you'd like to support what I do, please consider following along. → soundcloud.com/enea-gore✨🖤🎶

When I decided to write and compose this piece, I was in a deep spiritual crisis.

I was desperately trying to awaken from years of lethargy. This state of torpor was mainly due to my abandonment of writing and literature: I read unwillingly, and I'd lost my ability to reflect. I was living in a state of stasis and apathy, which often manifested as an inability to fill the blank page.

The drones you hear at the beginning of the track represent that dull, intense noise that imprisoned me for so long. I had no desire to engage in anything, no creativity for literary writing, much less for music.

While this piece might seem relaxing—and it is, melodically speaking—my creative process is primarily guided by my emotional states.

I rarely categorize a track or an album's songs into a specific genre. This flexibility might be seen as a limitation in today's music industry. However, storytelling and music remain my means of expression, regardless of market rules.

As the track progresses, soft pads gently emerge, accompanied by a brass that follows the low frequencies.

This aspect reminds me of an old poem of mine:

Even our souls, / can stitch poems, / there, where there are no prophets, / as a burden, / we will carry the earth, / closed in a funny vessel, / as words, / will be our tired cries, / submissive, / behind this door, / we will find no men, / here we laugh, / and with joy I wither, / uprooted from verses, / to skip the meager words, / among the crowd, / to sing madness, / the uselessness of our abyss.

This poem emphasizes how even the abyss can be useless if the meager melodies are intoned by an inexplicable madness present in every human being. The piece concludes on this note of uselessness with the gradual outpouring of typical mellotron drones.

I have been most fortunate to be able to use some of the incredible synth collection at MESS (Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio). Look for some of the sounds on the next Xordox album.

So here's the new release

This honestly started off as a bit of a joke. I told  ⁨maisielynnie⁩  that I wanted to sample a video they posted on TikTok, that comment now has 600+ likes so not seeing it through would be a waste.

Diving Deep: Sirens Beneath Black Waves

Here we are. This is the second-to-last track from my first conceptual EP, "Darkness in Fog", dropping on July 7th.

Truth be told, I admit I scrapped a lot of tracks I'd composed because they just felt inadequate – I wouldn't say immature, just that the mood wasn't quite right. I don't know, maybe I'll put them in a drawer and try to rework them for something else (or maybe not?).

Anyway, "Sirens Beneath Black Waves" was born almost as a joke. It was one of my very first compositions, a bit raw, a bit dissonant in its notes, but I decided to love it anyway and include it in my EP. Don't you think "Sirens Beneath Black Waves" would be suitable for a video game? Because, intentionally, the "Darkness in Fog" project was precisely about producing music for video games.

The aquatic atmosphere, strongly inspired by Homer's Odyssey, reminded me of my university readings and influenced my work on the track. The fact that Odysseus and his sailors were lured by these mythological sea creatures is a metaphor I appreciate with all my being: humanity is constantly drawn by sins, by not only carnal desire, but above all by what they don't possess, and they shipwreck, even losing their lives if necessary, just to obtain it.

In the track, there are sections where shrill voices and out-of-tune pads meet, and in unison, they recall those creatures: far from ethereal and dreamy, they're unpleasant and malevolent.

And that's what I want to convey to the listener. All this unpleasantness of the sailors' desired sin is clearly recognizable in these sounds, right up to the fall, halfway through the track, where only Odysseus was able to resist – a forced resistance, of course, if you know the story, but he would have a very different fate with Circe.

*** A Side Note ***

I feel like "Darkness in Fog" has been a burden for me. As with every project I have in mind, I started with an idea, and I wasn't able to bring it to fruition and develop it completely. My attention crises, procrastinating and delaying what I should have done, ultimately transformed "Darkness in Fog" into something it wasn't supposed to be: inconsistent and immature.

Seeing all I've done has led to nothing within me: once again, I don't feel good enough, besides feeling empty, kind of how it was when I used to write and live for literature. This feeling of "not enough" certainly doesn't depend on feedback, positive or negative, from some hypothetical audience. Writing, like music, is so intrinsically a part of me that the creative process becomes exhausting, like a psychological boulder, a physical suffering, which causes me pain.

I stopped writing in 2019 because the pain had become excessive. I hope music doesn't kill me.

*** An Extremely Side Note ***

After the release of "Darkness in Fog" on July 7th, with the final track dropping, I'll be dedicating myself completely to a new conceptual album. The idea behind "Pillow Lineage" is to make it coexist with an old novel of mine, which I consider my magnum opus, and thus develop the music around the story of that novel. I still don't know if I'll be able to do it all by myself. Once again, I'm alone: with the music, with re-adapting the novel into poetry and making it enjoyable alongside listening to "Pillow Lineage", as well as with the graphics.

I'd like to manage to collaborate and build friendships in the music field during all this, to create projects together. That would also alleviate the weight of my main work on "Pillow Lineage" because I'd be able to dedicate myself to something other than just my own singular thing. This form of possession is oppressing me, and I need to breathe.
