Everything becomes its own opposite - a leaving is a going home, losing is also finding, light is darkness.
FMK with his Akiya EP reflects on cyclical mythological structures and seeks comfort in the chaos - the steady throbbing pulse when the depth of long raved nights and the beckoning of bright dancing days ring, spiralling inside you;
The birds echoing dawn over beats left behind, but welling still while walking away, hearts hearing more from inside, having pulled and emptied all they could find in a bass bin, the music of loss is the music that fills the most and those that give all will have something even ever more.
From a cedar shack in a field under the looming mountains of Washington state FMK scries every endless dance floor, each club night pouring out into the streets dark and bright, all the vast and close rides home and to, and waking up to do it all again, anywhere.
He's been at it for a long time.
All tracks improvised direct to tape with select analog and digital outboard hardware.
