Comaduster - Cast Your Shadow

Now in proud partnership with FiXT, the third full-length Comaduster album from veteran musician, video game sound designer and electronic music producer Réal Cardinal, is here. Titled Darker Matter, the 16 track album delivers a densely packed odyssey of sound and emotion, exploring the realms of IDM, Drum and Bass and post-rock sensibilities while simultaneously merging elements of Americana folk music, djent and doom metal, further accompanied by dark ambient shadows. The album’s intricate music production is juxtaposed by powerful vocal performances from Comaduster himself, as well as multiple tracks featuring the talented female vocalist, Mari Kattman.
Though not a concept album -- at least not nearly as much as the previous Comaduster album Solace -- the album is heavily inspired by our deep but incomplete understanding of extreme physics, and metaphysical aspects of our lives. The emotional core is much more personal and direct than anything Cardinal has previously produced, resulting in a darker and grittier atmosphere than previous Comaduster albums.
Exploring themes of occult imagery, alchemic mystery, paradoxical physics, and harsh science fiction, Darker Matter takes on these tropes with musical interpretations pushing into the limitations of digital editing, time-stretching, vocal processing, time signature complexities, labyrinthian rhythm structures, intentional audio abuse and noise artifacts.
The unifying element throughout the 80 minute album journey though is Comaduster himself, the dark mage, responsible for each sonic manipulation as he pushes & pulls listeners through hidden associations and obscurity to interconnectedness and passage through his elaborate maze.
Prepare for a transformative experience with Darker Matter.

HOW i love midnight music

[@Comaduster]

Lyrics:
-Verse1-
Don’t cast your shadow on me
I’m in the dark
And I am stranger than God
Black on black is my defense
You telegraph and I dodge
Nothing to me changes
If not for windy days
I’d be faceless
-Chorus-
No! Don’t let me dissolve in to the darkest fringes, Love
-Verse 2-
You want to be a saviour
But
I’m your worst enemy
A vacant stranger
-Chorus-
-Ending Bridge-
Fleeting the real things are so hard to see now
Fleeting the real things are so hard to see now
Fleeting the real things are so hard to see now
Fleeting the real things are so hard to see now

Comaduster ‪ Anxiety in the form of the sound. I was diagnosed with neurosis and panic attacks last year‬ and this song perfectly illustrates what I feel when I have an episode of existensial anxiety.
Pure art.
But I was wondering, what is the meaning of this song?
I think it summarizes the concept and themes/ideas of the record perfectly, but maybe I’m wrong.

[@Comaduster]

@@daytwentytwo This one actually has one of the more direct meanings on the record. It's about an experience that happens between me an certain people. People who want to 'implicate' you in or have your 'bias' underhandedly, especially in public settings. Ex: "At the line at the store, and a person waiting in-line says something extremist or racist, etc, about someone else -- say the cashier, or someone else in line -- and how they 'expect' you to just go a long with it.
No. Fuck that. If anything this song is a warning.
Anyone who pulls that sh*t with me gets called out. I've got enough dark stuff in my life, I have no patience for people 'casting their shadows' like that.
The chorus is slightly detached from the song, and more of an opening for the record. But it's also kind of a 'resistance' and plea to explore the dark with caution.
There is a secondary metaphoric meaning. Kind of follows some Jung psychology shadow archetype stuff and emotional projection... kind of handled in the same way as the literal meaning.
The song is an emotional 'deflection' (in the more literal sense -- not the psychological definition).

I already loved this song, but reading that explanation made me think about the whole piece a lot more, and now I love it even more.
