Perennial by Paul Newark
Perennial was worked on over the space of a year, and my aim with it was always to do something that was a contrast to my first EP, Ephemeral. I consider the two EPs to be companion pieces, both portraying different sides of the same coin, or perhaps a sort of Yin and Yang. Both are instrumental; if Ephemeral was light, and positive, this is darker and more destructive. Though both EPs have their moments of opposition within them; Ephemeral has the track Descent, and Perennial has Solace.
I also consider Perennial to be a soundtrack of sorts, to a film or game that perhaps never existed. There are different moods and movements, all within a set theme, and I like to think they portray a story through melody. For me it tackles longer term mental health issues, and trying to come through the other side of it.
