ARTIST INTERVIEW: CARL ADAMS “TO TRAVERSE THE HEREAFTER”
“To Traverse the Hereafter” is rooted in the curious eyes of a child when he looks up at the sky and wonders about the brightest star. “You start brainstorming all the possibilities. What’s up there? What else is beyond this? This song encapsulates the feeling of being completely enraptured at that moment,” Carl Adams said.
Ideas and inspirations emerge under the deep blue canvas. Surrounded by the sound of crickets, embraced by nature, you are overwhelmed by its magnificence and curious about the unknown in the grounding peacefulness. “To Traverse the Hereafter” invites you on a journey of reflection and adventure.
Therapeutic guitar strumming leaves trails in the afterheat of harmony. The world expands as frequencies interact; harmonics expand the horizon where secrets and love are stored.
Stepping into the wildest imagination filled with colors, synchronicities, and symbols, the soundscape transformed into a chaotic turmoil of pure beauty. “I think space is the appropriate setting. Just the vastness and how it can be both overwhelming and strangely calming to think about,” Adams commented.
As the child grows up and becomes an adult, curiosity, and imagination lead to the searching for knowledge and understanding. “The universe is essentially a void with space everywhere you turn, but every once in a while, a few events take place, and then you have these planets, moons, and asteroids that form a system. In this system, you have a star in the middle, and everything else does a little dance around it for an extraordinary amount of time. Then you have dark matter, which we know almost nothing about. It's a lot to take in, but it's also awesome,” Carl Adams continued “we keep chasing knowledge and understanding we don't have, which ties back into the central theme of this song. Unexplored worlds, unseen events, and occurrences...in this life and whatever's after it.”
