Asylum by ZZY
Asylum is a sonic trip mainly focuses on the feeling of isolation, closure, in which we are devoid of making our own actions and decisions. A kind of isolation and closure with our interior and the world.
This album not only concerns about the idea of prison from a material and physical point of view, but also something that prevents and restricts our movements and decisions. The concept explores the idea of a mental prison in which we are closed in our own world - prevented from communicating not only with the outside, but also with the our inside.
Inspired by the book of the renowned sociologist Erving Goffman "Asylums: Essays on the Social Situation of Mental Patients and Other Inmates" and the film Shutter Island, starring Leonardo Di Caprio and directed by Martin Scorsese; “Asylum” approaches the theme of mental illness and its implications, looks at how inmates live inside prisons and other institutions and how these places can influence their behavior and actions.
Includes an exclusive content in album purchase (original poem about the concept of the album).
