Namir Blade - Aphelion's Traveling Circus (2020)

Namir Blade - Aphelion's Traveling Circus (2020)

BAND/ARTIST: Namir Blade

For as long as I can remember, I’ve thought about the quote from Shakespeare’s pastoral comedy, “As you like it”. The melancholy Jaques stated that the world is a stage, and went on to compare the moments in human life, to several acts. I’ve often thought of my life as a Circus, complete with several acts, interludes, and intermissions.

This album is set in a distant future, where all the comforts of a dying planet has diminished, forcing the inhabitants to expand on a universal scale. In spite of the grim circumstances, humanity always finds a way to experience joy. I wanted this album to highlight the joy and suffering that we as a species experience simultaneously. This album is separated in to several acts which parallel moments, thoughts, hopes, dreams and failures I’ve experienced. I did my best to deliver everything exactly how I experienced them in my head, in hopes that they will translate to the listener.

My mother told me that when I was a young child, I came up with the concept of Namir’s World.

She told me that I would spend hours in the backseat during car rides, going on about the several things that world had to offer not only myself, but also anyone willing to venture in. I vaguely remember Namir’s world as an adult, but I feel like the spirit of that fictional place stayed with me. I felt that it was somewhere locked deep within my subconscious, only peeking out when I composed a piece of music, or when I would draw. I believe this album is that elaborate world I created as a child deciding to step out of the recesses of my mind, and come into the light.
