A story that loosely follows a number of anonymous personalities as they navigate and maneuver through space/time, encountering and interacting with variables that function in sequences as either barriers or aids on their adventure. The variables are activated through perspective taking and thought experiments. Each of the personalities have their own approach, capacities, and tendencies when it comes to problem solving, socialization, motivation, and ethical/moral compass.
What will happen next?
The characters:
Samantha Anna Nona (Samanna)
Sam Easteva Nona (SamE)
Samaya Iama Nona (Sam-I-ama)
Samothy Ora Nona (The optimist)
Samuell Ulysse Nona (Samuel )
Sam Y Nona (Winona)
The concept weaves various theories of personality into the framework. For example, each Nona, altogether, demonstrates a representation of John Hollands 6 personality types : Realistic, Enterprising, Artistic, Investigative, Social, and Conventional. Elements of the four temperments are intertwined and more specifically during group interactions, the foundation of the FIRO (Functional Interpersonal Relations Orientation) becomes a direct reference point for the observable dynamics between the identities, for better or worse.
Sam Y Nona, is a an off-center role in the overall story, and, out of all the personalities) experiences the most profound transformation, both figuratively and literally.
While the previous EP (Again Begin) was much moodier and darker in tone and subject matter. The last track on that release (Nightmare Analyses) is a harsh meditation on the residual scarring and arbitrary triggers often experienced post-trauma. Thematically, this album (Sam Y Nona) picks up where the last EP (Again Begin) left off and does so with a brighter and lighter tone and free conscious experimentation. This is all about the inspired moments and period of time that follows the trauma and grief. This is the dawn of a rising sun, welcomed with tears of joy and a humbled silence after such a long and challenging night.
A huge theme in this story is the presence of opportunity and on the application of positivity to manifest opportunity through time/space. Once a new skill is acquired and mastered, one begins to develop fluency and generalization. At what point in this process does something like positivity become toxic? This idea is explored in this album, as well.
So now that all of that is out of the way.... things can begin to get interesting...
Is everything what it seems?
Each song (re)presents another part of a (re)petitive story...
Why do all the characters have the same last name? Are they all relatives? Is it all the same person?
it desires to be realized.
What even is Coumarou ? .... or maybe... Who.. is Kumaru ?
Featuring: the voice and words of Prince Prospero (Supreet Singh)
opportunityisnowhere... That's the first and last part of it all.
Arrive bored and leave ...
