It’s an honor to have this album on the label due out on May 14th.
From the artist:
“Into the Clicks was conceived and recorded in Fall and Winter of 2020/21 using an entirely digital sound palette sourced from the iOS environment of digital audio synthesis and sound processing applications. While embracing the digital aesthetic of tablet based music making, a casual directive to create synthetic representations of vaguely organic spaces and otherworldly events was in the air from the start.
During the exploration of iOS sound machines a collaboration was born with UK based musician/app developer Marc Smulian who’s MindHarp app inspired and provided the sounds for an extended passage contained in the album.
The core inspiration for the compositional aspect of Into the Clicks was a desire to create a single long form piece that held a surreal and evolving narrative while pushing synthesis into an ambiguous biomechanics that transcends the digital source material.”
Darren Ryan: Into the Clicks will be released on May 14, 2021 on limited CD in Digipak as well as on digital.“

The album title is derived from the 1890 poem There is Another Sky, by Emily Dickinson.

ANGER
I’m stuck. I want to break plates and throw fists, but I really don’t know how to do it. I’m tired of being scared to be seen as ‘the crazy bitch’ or ‘sensitive and over emotional’. I am a crazy bitch. I do get angry and I do want to destroy my bedroom or glass wear when I get overwhelmed. I’ve just never liked getting angry. I hate the way it makes me feel afterwards.. embarrassed. Anger isn’t the emotion I’m feeling. It’s a whole bunch of them and I just don’t know how to handle them so I break down. That’s why I write. My writing isn’t good, but it helps me. I’m not writing pretty words that perfectly sum up every thought and emotion I feel, most of the time there are no words to discribe them. But I turn to writing because I have nothing else to turn to. The other alternative is self destructive habits and rage, that’s not a solution, that’s just gonna cause more problems. -Kasz
