about

This is a Bandcamp-only version of Pihka Is My Name's debut album. It includes two bonus tracks that are not available elsewhere.

Pihka is an imaginary friend of a boy grown out of needing an imaginary friend. The boy has grown up and doesn’t need an imaginary friend anymore. Pihka is left alone in a snow covered forest, and sets off on an adventure on her own.

She sees that the snow is melting and that a storm is brewing. Humans have a climate emergency in their hands. Some of them take it seriously while most of them don’t.

And they have the internet. The freedom to go anywhere. And they have the Social Media. A Social Media that creates distance. A distance between different humans. It only points them in a single direction. This direction is the easy way. The way to only see what you want to see. And if another group of humans are looking in a different direction, they are the enemy.

When you observe any single human being, you’ll notice that the being is an immense entity. There is so much to explore in a single mind. None of these beings represent a single idea or a single way to exist. None of them are fully happy or sad, left or right, certain or uncertain, secure or insecure, straight or gay, man or woman. As individuals they have their directions and they might have a much stronger tendency towards one than the other, but when you look deep enough into a mind binaries simply do not exist.

Yet humans seem to think that the somewhat randomly pointed enemy represents only a single idea. This concept is fortified by the Social Media. It creates little bubbles around groups of people. Imaginary, yet seemingly impenetrable little bubbles.

These are the bubbles Pihka is here to pop. Imagine that.

There are no binaries. Binaries only exist in imagination. In truth, everything is inbetween the binaries. There is no enemy - there is no them, there’s only us. Would that be so hard to imagine?

There is immense depth in the human mind. It can create whole worlds. What sort of a world does the mind want to create?
