ok it's time for a long rant about some weird-ass album concept because why not, im bored. BEWARE, or somethin like that
this album im workin on has a concept
a concept i've been meaning to explore for a very long time
i've come to refer to it as the "reverse establishing shot"

every single piece of emotion and feeling and theme that you encounter in the entire album condensed into a single, small piece of music.
but instead of at the beginning, like a normal "establishing shot" would be, it's at the end

condensing every single concept and theme of an album into a single MINUTE, of course that's going to cause some.... "clashing"... of emotion, to say the least
which makes the last track the noisiest out of all of them.

every emotion you've already encounted, presented to you in the most intense way possible.
it helps establish whatever comes next, hence the term, "establishing shot"

"but what is it establishing?" i hear you ask.
to which i answer, "the rest of the album of course!"
"but it's at the END! how can it establish ANYTHING if the album is already over?!" you plead.
to which i answer...
"exactly."

this "establishing shot" im talking about...
it leads to absolutely nothing.
if the album were a curve, it would look kinda like this (sorry for the crudeness of the graph):

note the immediate drop-off of intensity at the end of the album. now note the rise in intensity at the beginning of it.
the ending is establishing the beginning.
the outro leaves you at rather high intensity, with no payoff, but carries that intensity over to the intro.

now, im not saying "listen to the album on repeat for infinity for the ultimate experience!"
although, i wont stop you if you do
im saying that if you're expecting some massive payoff for listening through the entire album ONCE and ONLY ONCE, you're quite mistaken

im ALSO not saying that the album loops over on itself, that's not the intended experience im going for
although, again, i wont stop you from doing that. this is all MY interpretation of the album. yours may be COMPLETELY different.
and that's ok!

having a different vision from what the artist originally intended, having an experience with a piece of art that resonates with you MORE than the intended one... that's okay.
that's the fun of art. seeing what YOU want to see, and making what YOU want to make.

when it releases and if you listen to it, if you think that this album has some deeper meaning behind it that you think i havent fully explored or havent even thought about. PLEASE tell me. i'd love to hear your ideas and .... "headcanons" for lack of a better word lol
AHHH anyways, i'm pooped. i typed this out so passionately that my fingers are starting to hurt and my brain is beginning to revert back to my normal state of "Constant Dumb Of Ass"
thanks for listenin to my spiel, hope this thread excited you for the future of "dnm."
