Prescience is a concept album that marked my debut after years of working on it in 2025. Its aim is to take you on a journey through different genres and different moods that all, in a way, conceal the fundamental struggles of the lyrical I with placing itself in the modern world and with finding things of meaning that excite it for more than just a couple of minutes. In the end, this kaleidoscopic experience will have hopefully formed a mosaic out of all these pieces, which gives rise to some hope, even though the ending remains open and unclear. At least this is what it did to me, the things I thought were falling apart have actually been beginning to fall into place.
