Disorienting music is a response to times of disorientation and chaos. It's an attempt to sound out how we perceive reality today. Maybe even a contestation?

 

Imagine a typical situation where you sit down and scroll through social media for 5 minutes. During this time, you learn about a war in some part of the world, a friend's vacation, and an exhibition at a nearby art gallery. You watch 3 memes and 5 GIFs. Sensational headlines inform you about cooking recipes, a fine for bad parking, genocide, a celebrity alcohol scandal, and new fees for streaming platforms. Another memes - five with cats, and two more about the climate crisis. Whether we like it or not, this is how we currently receive information about the world. And this is exactly what I want to tell through the idea of disorienting music.

 

In the visual world, the collage technique with its chaotic and colorful aesthetic is present and widely understood. In literature, it was popularized by William Burroughs. In music, using collage is not obvious, although it also has its great examples, such as in the discography of Frank Zappa. I decided to explore similar tools but in a different style and in a slightly different way.
