Enfant Terrible has released a free digital Various Artist compilation entitled Reality As A Stage Set, and it is currently available for download via the Dutch imprint’s Soundcloud page. The label has collected together various artists from their recent history as a way of bringing support to the musician’s efforts. Additionally, the compilation’s intention is clearly directed towards dealing with current events, and it comes with this poignant message concerning life under the virus:
“We conceive the world around as reality… as a solid state of being… but it is not… it is a stage set… a construct… a frame… a bubble in which we float…
Only very few things can make cracks in this construction… and shake our belief in this static world… but the current virus going round the world (2019-2020) is one of those things able to puncture holes in our bubble… and show an alternate reality beyond the stage set…
So… welcome to the new reality… the next reality… or the more real reality as the reality perceived before… accept uncertainty… and accept fear… accept loss… accept the now… and accept this as a new standard…
A moment of recognition like this asks for contemplation… sit back… think…read… listen to music…
This free digital compilation was curated for this specific moment and consists of some (but not including all) of my personal favourite tracks taken from vinyl records I released in the last few years. Several of the artists on this compilation have a bandcamp page where you can get the complete release the track featured here is taken from. Please support these artists if you can…“
