A pause. A thought. A refusal.
Son Lux - Easy: A Short Note on Pain and Surrender
Drawing on the unsettling melody of Son Lux, this short note explores the song as a manual for pain. It deconstructs the promise of freedom found in the erasure of the subject, where ‘ripping out your heart’ becomes a survival strategy.

Is the Void just a magical dimension, or a cosmic server room? This essay deconstructs the lore of Dishonored through the lens of Simon Reynolds’s ‘Retromania’ and Mark Fisher’s ‘Hauntology’. We explore why the Outsider is the ultimate curator of a looping past and why Billie Lurk’s [ERASE] was the only way to find a future.
