Cracks in the Real

floating on air with electronic wings

Today I’d like to introduce you to the art and sounds of Cracks in the Real, a digital instrumentalist based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Somewhere between the distant break of a hopeful dawn and the pure dark tones of the night itself is where this artist builds landscapes full of emotion and fills them with stories in words unsung.

“What, do you imagine that I would take so much trouble and so much pleasure in writing, do you think that I would keep so persistently to my task, if I were not preparing – with a rather shaky hand – a labyrinth into which I can venture, into which I can move my discourse… in which I can lose myself and appear at last to eyes that I will never have to meet again. I am no doubt not the only one who writes in order to have no face. Do not ask who I am and do not ask me to remain the same: leave it to our bureaucrats and our police to see that our papers are in order. At least spare us their morality when we write.”

– Foucault
