The Age of Ephemerality by BRUIT ≤

As a deranged form of austerity politics engulfs the world in flames, we’re made to feel insane when we point to the billowing smoke, and we’re slandered as complete hysterical maniacs when we discuss that this fire may have started long before, oh, let’s say January 20th. This epiphany roars to life on The Age of Ephemerality by BRUIT ≤, a post rock neoclassical piece that shares our wide-eyed horror at the soulless machine destroying all we hold dear. An orchestra plays alongside a full rock band, with the orchestra setting a musical direction in the extended quiet segments that reaches fruition as the rock band fully takes over. At this moment of transition, the facts we’ve gathered about the case intuitively click into place, bursting forth into a fully realized worldview that recognizes systems of power as decentralized, inhuman, and omnipresent. Alienation and anger blind us in their brilliant intensity, setting us in a desperate search for others who have heard the music that the world seems to ignore.
