https://radiarc.bandcamp.com/album/forgotten-ep http://qsteel.deviantart.com/art/Pinkamena-306209410 Rest in peace; your art was so immensely inspiring. Only by a lapse in reality itself would she haunt me in this way, beckoning me night after endless night; these tormenting dreams are only reflections of what I once loved. Another day, another chance to forget, but she remains. I couldn't let her go then, and I can't let her go now, her gaze ever upon me as I struggle to ignore the overwhelming silence dragging my mind to the darkest depths of insomnia. Until she spoke to me. "I've missed you," she said. She shouldn't, she can't, but she does. I suppose if I'd let go then, she wouldn't be so strongly tied to me now; fragments of her soul still linger. I don't have a choice. I'll do anything to forget. So long as I don't have to experience losing her again... I worked so, so hard on this, and I loved every second of it. Except for the parts that creeped me out; I'm not immune to unsettling ambience. Even still, for years, I've been good at creating horrific environments through writing and art, but it's also an aspect of myself that I've hated because I get paranoid with reflections and dark rooms. I always thought this was something I'd be good at, though, and I only started to dabble with it back when I did Silent Nightmare, but since I had a whole week off of work and I've been thinking about this for a while, I decided to go full-force. The best I can muster, taking notes from Akira Yamaoka and Jason Graves to hopefully make something people will be strangely drawn to or disturbed by. My goal was to make the best ambience I could in a short EP all while telling a story, and, well, I hope I did it. It's not my usual by any means and I don't think it ever will be, but this is something I've really wanted to try for a long time and I'm so happy I did it; with any luck, you guys will appreciate it, too. As usual, if you like what you hear...well, I don't do stuff like this very often, but check out my bandcamp: https://radiarc.bandcamp.com/ 8 albums plus some stuff you won't find anywhere on youtube! (including the rest of this EP) As for my description readers, you guys are the best. When I was a kid, I was immersed in horror games, and because of that and some other things, I had near constant nightmares. For years, it's been a real battle between me and my mind, establishing myself and not letting anything within or outside get the best of me, and it's been rough. That's part of why this means so much to me -- it's like a statement of progress, how far I've come as an individual. http://img03.deviantart.net/ac8e/i/2014/114/c/e/otherworld_by_arcnine-d7fux8r.jpg Final project for my first year of college. This is what I used to want to be good at before music, but.. http://img12.deviantart.net/9b9c/i/2011/280/3/c/terra_by_arcnine-d4c3ubj.jpg This is where most of my drawing efforts ended up going toward. I do draw anthro and it's something I used to enjoy a lot (I drew that before the scenery), but it kind of sucked that I got more attention for that than the landscape stuff. Not what you expected, I know, but I hope you guys enjoy. You all really mean a lot to me, and I hope to see you again soon.
