just open your eyes

Abstract

It is easy to fall in the comfort of past memories and try to relive them. It is easy to get lost in the regrets of the past and feel the need to go back to the start and fix them. Similarly, it is easy to get swept away in planning out the future in hopes of avoiding the subsequent worries. In a world that is focused on moving forward so as to not be left behind, opening your eyes to the present and remaining rooted in this very moment is more valuable than anything. “just open your eyes” is a project rooted in the importance of being present. Featuring evocative songwriting uplifted by shoegaze-like “walls of sound” guitars, rhythms from breakbeat and traditional Indian instruments like the sitar and tabla, this body of work is a curated genre-blending EP portraying the journey of actively practicing this way of life.
