In Greek Mythology, Epimetheus was known as the god gf hindsight, and often portrayed as somewhat foolish in comparison to his more well known brother, Prometheus, god of foresight. As someone who will sometimes dwell on the past for too long, I thought of Epimetheus in a different light, as a god of reflection rather than regret. A god whose gift to mankind was wisdom and learning from experience.
I explored a lot of cinematic sounds in my previous (and first) album “The Seven Omens” and this album ended up being very similar in that aspect, but went in some different directions with the concepts behind them. Both have cinematic themes throughout but whereas “The Seven Omens” is more adventurous, “Epimetheus” is more introspective. A more internal journey rather than an external. Something a little more subdued and poignant.
Another through line for “Epimetheus” is that most of the tracks have two distinct sections. I wanted to explore writing more dynamic music, I think it better represents how I think of music as a story. Interesting stories have highs and lows and often involve a lot of change, and I think interesting music can work the same way.
I’m not sure what is next after this project. I’ve been in the mindset of wanting to work on larger projects but I also have smaller collections that are much closer to being finished. Either way, I will release more music this year, and in part or whole I want to try to encapsulate the ten year anniversary of the Weather Control project.
