about

This track has two outcomes or moods for you to choose~

"Forever Young" s loosely an interpolation of a Happy Hardcore remix of an Alphaville track by the same name (confusing huh?)

Bootlegs and Happy Hardcore remixes are ultimately how I formed my tastes when I was 9 on the old internet. Most of that culture has been lost to time or only exists as a lossy 240p upload on Youtube. In a lot of ways electronic remixes and bootlegs are like the folk music of the web– Echoed across the digital static but often lost in the flow of information & shifting mediums, or outlawed by copyright laws.

I've spent much of the last year scavenging old internet media through broken links, lossy files and the Wayback Machine to preserve some of the silly internet culture that inevitably defined me at my core and that led me to becoming an artist~

Nostalgia is intrinsically a huge part of cultural movements now (whether it be 80s, 90s or as of recent, 00s nostalgia). We all want to echo the formative experiences we hold dear to us.

It's a rose tinted lens, but the cyclical pull of it is what inevitably allows for us to understand the past and let it mutate into our future.


tl;dr

Forever Young is about seeing time move too quickly and looking to the past to understand the present.


Present is the Past Surreal
