Please Wait is my 137th release, created on April 25, 2025 and finished on June 16, 2025, during my longest creative rut so far (4 months), the longest I've gone without releasing music. It feels so jarring to me since I used to have a consistent fortnightly release schedule and it's worse when my inner perfectionist, who I'm still battling, wants me to stay consistent.
It's inspired by the music commonly played in waiting rooms, elevators, those "technical difficulties, please stand by" test screens, and when on hold on the phone. It was also inspired by the concepts of liminality and liminal space, as currently I'm on the threshold of abandoning my perfectionist's old ways in favour of something more freeing, yet uncertain.
I know one thing for sure: my inner perfectionist's ways of insisting I release well-mastered music averaging 7 minutes in length consistently, spend hours making very detailed cover artworks, and tying *all* my releases to MOULE WORLD lore has held me back for the last few months and I must let it go, but what's next for me is uncertain.
The cover art is "the Ride" from my "Enjoy the Ride" motto paused in a waiting room with a dark tunnel ahead of it, symbolising no new music during my 4-month rut, and an unknown future when the rut ends. The test screen is a reference to me not "broadcasting" any new music for months, and the checkered floor symbolises the transition from one state to another.
Releasing this track is a part of this lengthy process to embrace the new and hopefully more liberating artistic process, whatever that is.
