about

“Transdescendence” is the result of an ongoing personal journey, a thriving in a certain sense, that called for aesthetic expression in more ways than one. It is reflected equally in the composition and instrumentation, the lyrics and production, the cover artwork, logo, photography, and videos.

The title of the EP is inspired by the French philosopher Corine Pelluchon, among others. She understands the term as a contemplation and self-knowledge, an experience and recognition of one's own vulnerability, but also connectedness with everything that surrounds us and with everything that was, is, and will be.

Moreover, some rather traumatic experiences and shocking observations became motivations in a certain sense. These range from very personal experiences of serious illness of the beloved to the distressed witnessing of a shocking destruction of life on this planet by us, the dominance of an all-consuming greed and hubris and a growing enthusiasm for hostile, narrow-minded, intolerant worldviews.

We are not the first to observe, lament or criticize all this. This gives us at the same time the relief of not being alone with it, and the shock of nevertheless living in a world that to a considerable extent can do nothing with the way of feeling and thinking, with which we are familiar. All we can do is to share this with all of you and humbly continue to learn and hopefully grow.

“Transdescendence” is about a journey of awareness and understanding, an ongoing journey, oppressive and wonderful at the same time. For vlk, it has now begun.

Thus vlk stands for dark, distorted, transgressive music and art ... more
