This EP was never meant to be a critic. If it ever were, it
would be to myself. But I’ve always felt as something else:
the consequences of self-knowledge, inherent to changing
scenes; the expression of a generation that finds itself
consumed by individual image and ego. We have, as our main
fuel, the seeking for attention. We all wanna be seen.
Narcisos is the anguish of not knowing when we’ll be heard,
if we’re ever to be heard to. Not knowing what future holds,
the anxiety and fighting mirrors.
I hope this is not a feeling of my own… I do hope this EP
makes sense to you.
I’ll dedicate it to:
To everyone who suffers from anxiety and depression;
To dad, mom, sister, and brother;
To Giulia, to Afonso;
To Matteo, J-K and Carolina;
To Alexandre, Nuno;
To my Erasmus folks: Carmine, Kalypso, Maria, Nurdeniz,
Rosachiara, Sunny, Takwa, Tania, Valerio, Valentina
Cousins, uncles and grandparents; J. Simões, Sara,
Miguel, Rafael.
I ask you to listen, share, and feedback this project
Thank you all… really

I'm twenty-seven
I make (mostly electronic) music to express what I feel from life.
I want people to
feel something from what I do, and not act passively towards it.

With Maria, MAF, DarkSunn and DJ SlimCutz Vasco Completo
