tensorfreitas The EP is fantastic.The songs are super groovy, but also dark with cool lyrics.
It was great to see it being built on twitch from the ground. Favorite track: Underachieve.

Cornerstone 01:37
This is kinda strange Wait ’til we find some footing I’m looking For cornerstones I’m slipping I’m growing old And the sand Runs away Beneath Your wonderful feet

Mana Burn 03:03
Give it a rest I have way too many possibilities Since my first breath I’ve known I’m fighting a losing battle Give it a rest I have way too many possibilities Since my first breath I’ve known I’m fighting a losing battle Give it a rest I have way too many possibilities Since my first breath I’ve known I’m fighting a losing battle

Underachieve 04:02
Underachieve I’ve dabbled in enlightenment Just see what it gave me Self-aware, spread thin I’m vacant Lose your way Find a place Build it and they’ll come I’ve dabbled in enlightenment Just see what it gave me Self-aware, spread thin I’m vacant You made me feel like an underachiever Put shame in me to justify your flaws You build a bridge just to let it crumble The sea will wash away your folly

Came into my life just like a crashing wave The reason for your visit remains unclear to me Fill me with the things that I should think and say Prime me with achievements to confirm you’re great All his weight Erases me The color of your eyes How it escapes me Came in through the skin like the goddesses’ light The reason for your visit is a sorry sight Just wait until I tell you you’re a parasite Just wait until I tell you you’re a parasite All his weight Erases me The color of your eyes How it escapes me

Perpetual dissatisfaction machine Weaponize blandness to set us all free Figure it out Figure it out Abrasive, familiar and un-expressible Everything that made you into someone Paper thin threads of a life not quite lived Recognize, realize And go shed that skin Figure it out Figure it out We all Wait for a sign It’s easy to drift off While time Moves along And you and I Slowly just die Perpetual dissatisfaction machine Weaponize blandness to set us all free Figure it out Figure it out

about

Underachieve EP was made in front of an online audience. During 35 live streams totaling 95 hours at the beginning of 2021, I explored how exposing the creative process influences it.

The accountability-creating gaze of the camera was present while writing the songs, recording all instruments and mixing the tracks.

The positive impact on my workflow motivates the continued streaming at twitch.tv/mudbody, and is explored in my BA thesis that will be added to my website once I get around to translating it.

moreindie.com featured me in an interview about the project:
