Knighthood
He who dares, wins.
This release is one of the hardest ones I’ve ever done. It carried weight I wasn’t expecting, haunting me. For months, these tracks sat unreleased. I kept coming back to them, until I stopped looking for reasons to hold them back.
“Knighthood” is a deeply emotional, ethereal-sounding track with intentionally hard edges. It began scattered, using old-school basslines and fragments of melody that didn’t yet know what they wanted to become.
Over time, something emerged - delicate, celestial melody taking shape in the broken beats. The creative process split into two equally compelling directions, and rather than choose, I let both versions breathe. The original maintains that organic development, while the VIP mix explores the same emotional terrain from a deeper angle, a couple semitones down and using a little more space.
On the 2nd half, “A Joke Too Far” shifts into trip-hop territory - vintage synths and lo-fi textures that create a dreamy, contemplative counterweight to the single’s more assertive moments. This is downtempo that gives you room to breathe, built with the kind of patience that lets each layer settle into place naturally.
The “VHS” remix followed naturally, taking some key elements and twisting them into something darker, but with an enchanting, assertive sound all its own.
These four tracks represent months of wrestling with creative intuition. The imperfections here aren’t flaws - they’re what makes these tracks human. In an age where everything can be quantized, autotuned, and perfected into sterility, I find power in becoming confident. I’m here, making the best work I can as an artist, growing into the person I want to be.
