You Couldn't Love Me Enough And I've Spent My Whole Life Making Up For It
I was going through the database of thoughts which had been submitted to the onbeing.maxcooper.net project and something immediately made me do a double take "You couldn't love me enough and I've spent my whole life making up for it".
It's such a raw statement full of pain and resilience and honesty. It stuck in my mind as I was making music for the record until a production session with Niels Orens, where Niels found this lovely seed motif which we began to build around, and which I thought could work for the twisted emotional mangle required to deliver the quote.
When it came to the video representation I chatted to Hiroki Okamoto / Scuy, whose tightly synced glitch style I thought could lend itself to the music. Hiroki suggested approaching the quote from the perspective of Earth, referring to us as the other party, with the quotes of the database layered over his story of natural chaos.
