I Cut People | brainRot
Album Year: Coming Soon: May 14th 2026
brainRot; a change of sorts. An incredibly complex, 3-pound organ suffering from decay. An overdue death. Both a superfluous and an imperative death. A faint farewell to the known. An influx of electrical currents leading to faulty memories. An unworthy and long-winded threnody to another historical epoch and its antiquated, stubborn, and immutable first principles. The premise of brainRot is revealing the intonation of an unraveling system’s delusions of grandeur and imagines being in the throes of systematic demise. This opening isn’t from a point of subjectivity, as it doesn’t pertain to a “being” but uses the Deleuzian concept of “a life” which is continuous, free-flowing, subjectless; outside the ontological closure of the individual. As technology transfers and transitions communication through a variety of networks, the mystery of a life is voluntarily demystified.
The threshold of metaphysics, the distant border between the signified and the signifier, is where this work begins, i.e., the seemingly unexplainable process of creativity or not consciously focusing on concepts extemporaneously. A doing for the sake of doing, but not without a life (the interconnection of lives), not without intentionality, and not without the veil of tracers preceding at the point of praxis. Therefore, a life as a pure existence, not necessarily determined by definite properties.
Similar and perhaps a sequel to In Ruins, brainRot uses less of the linguistic cut-up method and relies mostly on tonal effect. Built mostly from live improvisations, the work has minimal edits outside the initial compositions.
“There was never a thought that there might be, in the everyday run of things, something like a secret to raise, that the inessential might be, in a certain way, important, until the blank gaze of power came to rest on these minuscule commotions.”
– Michel Foucault | Lives of Infamous Men
“A dis-economy of pharmaka is what results from the appearance of any new pharmakon insofar as it short-circuits the other two levels-and this is occurring today with the technologies of “social networking,” for which no political economy and no system of care is prescribed by any public authority; or, again, it is what occurs in the course of the synaptogenesis of the infantile cerebral organ when the audiovisual short-circuits the transitional object, the infantile psychic apparatus being thereby proletarianized.”
– Bernard Stiegler | For a New Critique of Political Economy
“It is an absolute immediate consciousness whose very activity no longer refers to a being but is ceaselessly posed in a life.”
– Gilles Deleuze | Pure Immanence
