“SPHERELESS LIMITS” by ESTRANJ

ESTRANJ PROUDLY PRESENTS: “SPHERELESS LIMITS” (2024)
-
THIS PROJECT ORIGINALLY STARTED FROM A GIFT MY BROTHER GREG (JOLTEN SHOLTS) HAD GIVEN TO ME FOR MY BIRTHDAY. IT WAS A SUPER DOPE PAINTING THAT HE TOLD ME TO USE AS AN ALBUM COVER FOR MY NEXT ALBUM PROJECT… IT ALSO HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE PAINTINGS FROM HIM OF ALL TIME, I MIGHT ADD,
-IF. NOT. MY. FAVORITE. I KNEW I HAD TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL TO TRY MY BEST TO MATCH TO FEEL & DEPTH OF HIS WORK & REFLECT IT TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.

..AND SO IT WENT, I BEGAN IMMEDIATELY, SUPER INSPIRED BY HIS PIECE, TO DO MY PART & ADD SOME MUSIC TO IT. I ASKED HIM WHAT HE CALLED THIS MASTERPEICE OR IF HE HAD A NAME FOR IT. HE PAUSED, & THEN RESPONDED “SPHERELESS LIMITS”. HAVING TO DO WITH ONE’S INTERNAL & EXTERNAL MORTAL/IMMORTAL DRIVE & PUSH TO EXSPAND & OUTSTRETCH ALL LIMITATION GIVEN OR PLACED UPON A PERSON OR ARTIST EXISTING IN THE PHYSICAL PLANE. THE SPHERE REPRESENTING THE EARTH, OR THE MAX BOUNDARY OF SELF LIMIT, AS IT GETS CROSSED & EXCEEDS.

IT IS OVERALL AN EXTREMELY HEARTFELT ALBUM I KEPT SHORT & TO THE POINT, ADAPTING NORMAL TRACK LENGTH, CHORUS ORIENTED TRACKS THAT WOULD BE EASIER TO MEMORIZE COMPARED TO OTHER STUFF IN GENERAL, I HAVE DONE PREVIOUSLY. I WANTED EACH SONG TO BE A CLASSIC & CAPTURE AN IMPORTANT DEEP & TIMELESS MESSAGE IN EVERY ONE OF THEM- ALL GRASPING & DANCING IN SPIRIT AROUND THE CONCEPT OF THE ALBUM AND GROUNDED ON THE BACKGROUNDING THEME I ADDED TOO, AS “ETERNAL FOCUS”.

IT BEGINS FROM A TIME IN A LAND FAR AWAY, OUTLINING THE SECOND PHASE OF MY LIFE WHILE LOOKING BACK ON THE FIRST PHASE & THE MAGIC THAT IT HAD SPIRALLED I TO OVER PERIODS OF RECORDING FROM THEN TO NOW. TOUCHING ON A PROMISE I MADE WHEN I FIRST STARTED TO STICK IT OUT WITH MUSIC AND SEE IT THRU TILL THE END, THICK OR THIN, NO MATTER HOW TOUGH SHIT GETS. SUMMARIZING A STUBBORN COMMITTMENT TO GOAL ORIENTING THE GAMEPLAN, WITH ALL ODDS/TIME/ENERGY AGAINST.

IT THEN THEN RAMPS UP INTO A SPATIAL ROCKETTING ROLLER COASTER OF FRANTICALLY FLUCTUATING PSYCHIC INSIGHT, TRAJECTIONAL FEELINGS, EMOTIONS, OF LOVE, FEAR, DEPRESSION/STRUGGLE, WARMTH, FAMILY, AND GIVES STRENGTH, ENCOURAGEMENT, ASSURANCE, AND ENDURANCE AS IT PUSHES ON INTO MORE TUNNELOUS AND EXPIRAMENTAL WONDERS OF DARKNESS & LIGHT. INSPIRATION & MOTIVATION IN CONTINUITY & FORTITUDE.

IT GOES THRU ALOT OF MOODS & CURRENT STATES OF BEING, & THOUGHT, WRAPPING UP WITH THE TITLE TRACK THAT SIGNIFIES THE BEAUTY OF EXPERIENCING THIS LIFE WE LIVE & THE PROCESSES OF RECEPTION & DEVELOPMENT WE ALL UNDERGO IN THIS DIMENSION AS WE LEARN & FIND OUR UNION WITH THE EVERPRESENT SOURCE OF OUR ORIGIN. CARRYING THRU UNTO THE SECOND PORTION OF THAT TRACK WHICH BASICALLY RELEASES THE CONCENTRATED PORTION INTO A MORE LOOSE & FREE/ BOUNDLESS &LIMITLESS ARTISTIC STATE OF IMPERFECTIONAL PERFECTION, LETTING GO OF IT ALL INTO THE OCEAN.

THE ENDING IS A DEDICATION TRACK (END CREDITS TYPE POEM) TO ALL MY FAMILY. ALL MY FREINDS & LIGHTS I HAVE MET HERE IN THIS LIFETIME, WHO HAVE HELPED ME AND GUIDED ME ALONG MY PATH.
THOSE WHO NEVER GAVE UP ON ME & ALWAYS LIFTED ME UP & MADE THIS LIFE WORTH LIVING.

THE BREIF SIDE-STORY OF THIS PROJECT TOO, WHICH MAKES IT VERY DEAR TO MY HEART IS THE POWER OF THE DATES, STARTING ON MY BIRTHDAY, FINISHED & MASTERED IT COMPLETELY DOWN BY MY COUSIN “FISHTANK”’S BIRTHDAY, EXACTLY A 7 DAY WEEK LATER. & RELEASED ON MY BROTHER “JOLTEN SHOLTS”’S BIRTHDAY, DECEMBER 13th, OF 2024. ALL THE CORE MEMBERS OF FUTURISTIK BUMSQUAD.

SO THE DAY I FINISHED IT, I WENT TO GRAB MY COUSIN AND WHILE WE WERE REHEARSING SOME TRACKS LATER THAT NIGHT MY COMPUTER HAD FLOPPED OUT & CORRUPTED THE GULL ENTIRETY OF EVERY FILE IN MY EXTERNAL HARDDRIVE, WHERE I WAS STORING ALL MY MOST RECENT WORKS, WHICH THREW ME DOWN A DEEP STATE OF DEPRESSION AND FEVER. IT WAS A CARELESS MISTAKE I HAD MADE THAT LEFT ME WITH ALOT TO TRY MY BEST TO RECOVER & I GOT WHAT I COULD BUT IT WAS A WHOLE BIG PROCESS OF HEARTBREAK, IN SEEING PAST PRESENT & FUTURE WHIZZ RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES & FELT LIKE THIS ALBUM WAS ALL I HAD LEFT.

MY ORIGINAL PLAN WAS GOING TO BE TO RELEASE THIS AS MY LAST & FINAL SOLO ALBUM/ PROJECT AND HANG THE TOWEL. THAT IS WHAT ALL THE UNIVERSAL SIGNS & SIGNALS WERE WARDING ME TORDS. I SPENT A FEW MONTHS DOWN AND OUT TILL I WAS ABLE TO GET MY HEAD BACK IN THE GAME & DO WHAT I COULD TO GET ALL MY LOST WORK BACK. I DIDN’T GET EVERYTHING. BUT I MANAGED TO SCRAPE UP WHAT I COULD AND BEGAN TO CONTINUE MY WORK THIS YEAR… WITH A VENGEANCE FOR REDEEMING THE COLADERALL DAMAGED VOID, & ALL THE TIME MISSED .

THIS ALBUM WILL FOREVER BE A TURNING POINT OF WHO I AM, WHERE THIS ALL STARTED, & WHAT FURTHER LIES AHEAD. I CAN NOW MORE FULLY FORESEE THE NEW ENDING BEING TEASED IN MY LIBRARY OF WORKS THAT IS GOING TO BASICALLY TIE IN EVERYTHING THAT THE LAST FEW YEARS HAD TAKEN FROM MY SPIRIT, & EVENTUALLY ARE SET TO DEVELOP INTO, AS THE WORLD I’VE KNOWN IMMENSELY BEGINS TO SHIFT & FALL IN PLACE FOR PROPER BLOOM. THE WAY ITS SUPPOSED TO BE WILL BE.
