Existentialism and how it inspired the piece

Existentialism

Oxford dictionary describes Existentialism as…

“a philosophical theory or approach which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent determining their own development through acts of the will”.

The concept behind the track was the phrase “I have no mouth & I must scream” is repeated throughout the track until it is drowned out by the progressively more aggressive noise and sound. The way I interpreted the track was the phrase “I have no mouth & I must scream” is a way to say no matter how loud I scream, no matter how much I do. Does it matter in the end? This relates back to the ideas of Existentialism. Exploring the issues of humanity, dread, and anxiety. Existentialism is an absurd concept, but a very real one.
