#BlackMastodon #BlackMusic #MusiciansOfMastodon
On this #BlackFriday, I thought I would share the project I'm most proud of to date...
Shortly after America proved it was willing to put a racist narcissist in the highest position of power, I took that anger and channelled it into what would become a trio of #BlackMen taking the emotion of war and using it to inspire others to overcome their obstacles.
...and a double EP entitled #Warmusic:
The deeper idea was to flip the narrative of problems, challenges, and obstacles. Instead of lamenting what has happened to you or what life has burdened you with, you convert that energy into making your challenges afraid of YOU.
Don't give your circumstance the power. Take the power for yourself and wield it against the things that stand in your way!
I used this concept to write and co-direct our first video, #Fear where the three of us take exactly that approach:
The double EP, #Warmusic consisted of two themes: #FutureWars and #PastWars.
Future Wars made use of modern synthesizers (read: future sounds) to create a digital landscape for warfare.

Past Wars made use of traditional classical instruments to fill the battlefield with sounds of wars long forgotten.

The #Preytorians have released more since then, but this was the start of it all.
