about

This was oddly hard to create.

The majority of these beats were created in 2018. The Beat-tape itself was originally going to be released the summer of 2019. The album was going to be called "Hot Stuff". I was planning on making a BBQ sauce to go with it. But that just became too much of an undertaking and too much of an upfront expense. Then I got distracted and began finishing up the beat-tape "Conversational Relaxation with Manolis" and that just consumed my creativity. So "Hot Stuff" sat on the back burner.

When I got the energy to work on it again I sculpted a character out of plasticine and Sculpty with an armature wire base. It was created with the goal to animate. (a top secret skill and diploma I have) Then I started pushing away from the idea because I lack the space in my house to hold and create a proper animation set. Soon like all great sculptors I through the character in the trash as it no longer brought me joy.

I knew I wanted to present these beats in some way but I just didn't know how. I struggle with this for awhile. During the "great" pandemic of 2020 spent so much time just writing poetry and doodling and working on my creativity just to not feel I've lost it. Then it hit me like all silly made up words hit me. (with absurdity and joy) "BLORF" a kind of expression, something with a dash of "I'm tired" and "At least I'm trying" When the word came into being the rest just followed. I knew I had to interpret some idea of sculpting in the cover, just as an homage and "fuck you" to the original idea. Everything else just followed from there.

Thanks for reading this.

And listening to my music.

And maybe even buying it.
