Hinderlands by Museleon

Hinderland I - A blasted heath, an unsteady ship, a horizon that perpetually moves.

Hinderland II - Clocks out of sync, scrambled thoughts, on edge, agitated and anxious.

Hinderland III - A trail of thought is gate-crashed by a world of noise, a cacophony of sound, mixed messages hard to decipher. Lost in the hinderlands.

In 2022, Eidolon ( museleon.bandcamp.com/album/eidolon ) was released as a sonic exploration, in part, of the slow decline of my husband with cognitive impairment, a long term project. The title comes from the definition of an Eidolon as one being a spirit-image of a living or dead person; a shade or phantom look-alike of the human form. In these two short years things have moved on and now there is a diagnosis of Vascular Dementia and my journey has taken a new path, one of certainty of a diagnosis but also of uncertainty of the path, one that leads into the unknown - the hinterlands.

Whereas the sound landscape of Eidolon was very much insular and self reflecting filled with nightmares and delirium, Hinderlands is about that space between certainty and solid ground and the unpredictability and shifting sands of the future. It is a landscape of the hinterland, an area between the populated, busy, connected and built environment with the wilds, outside boundaries and open spaces but it is not freedom. It is that place where you stand seeing the horizon but for reasons you cannot reach it, something is hindering you but you cannot see what it is clearly. It is a kind of limbo, a suspension of time and surety. It's the hinderland.

Eidolon is a dark and meditative exploration of the split between the physical person with the shadow being that is increasingly taking over. Hinderlands is more ambient noise, anger in sound, time out of sync and unsure of the path ahead..
