facture.bandcamp.com/album/these-were-failed-assumptions

We make choices based on assumptions. We also depend on assumptions, and following choices, made by others who have the power to decide upon us.

When assumptions fail, we need to adapt to the circumstances, build dikes to save us from the tide, trying to breathe another air.

This record is the outcome of our continuous conversations about how we deal with and overcome our failed assumptions.

Sometimes we find solutions.

Sometimes we can’t.

Sometimes we learn.
