Research Notebook
Coordinates of Existence
sometimes i ask:
how do i stay here — truly
how do i not go numb
how do i stay close
to what’s alive
even if it trembles
this zine, this album —
coordinates of existence —
is not an answer
just a trace
a question
a field of small signals
and shifting light
you can read
or leave it unread
you can forget it
and it might still find you
in the shape of a wind
a smell you can’t place
a word that returns
long after
This small publication invites the reader into the layers of the work unfolding like a research notebook: part sketchbook, part diary, part map.
It gathers poetic field notes, traces, and fragments from the making of the album including poems, handwritten thoughts, visual elements, and philosophical reflections that emerged during the creation of Coordinates of Existence.

Format: 105 × 148.5 mm (4.1 × 5.8 inches) | 50 pages
Punctuated with illustrations, the zine opens a quiet space for echoes, questions, and fragments to linger — a tactile trace of the music’s becoming.
Exploring the process of becoming ourself - in that overcoming ourself over and over again.
Growing towards, only to leave this shape once we have arrived.
To live means to move. Means constant change.
Leaning into this death constantly, skinning and moving towards the unknown.
And that scares the hell out of many of us.
Longing for a place of certainty, of solidity, of knowing.
A place of home, belonging, of unity.
