The LandingA few years ago I had an experience I've never really spoken about.I was going through some stuff at the time and decided to go for an Outback hike to clear my head.I drove out bush for a few hours, parked my car on the side of the road and started walking. This was something I'd never done before, so I did all the things that those tourists do who end up getting lost. I went on my own, I didn't tell anyone where I was going, I didn't take enough water - every mistake I could have possibly made, I made.About two hours later I turned around to walk back to the car. After another three-hour walk back I still hadn't reached my car. I thought I had walked back the same way I came, but then I should have hit the road again by now. It was getting dark and I started panicking, as it dawned on me that I had no idea where I was.I decided to not walk in the dark and curled up next to a rock to sleep. I was cold and almost out of water. The next day I decided to find higher ground in the hope I would be able to spot the road. There was a rock formation on the horizon, which seemed to be the highest point in the area. The day passed and progress was really slow. At times I couldn’t see the rocks I was heading for and started questioning whether they were actually there. By midday, I had used up my last sip of water which I had been saving from the day before. It was already dark by the time I reached the formation. I climbed up as high as I could and found shelter next to one of the boulders to sleep.The next morning, after two days of walking with no food or water, I was exhausted. I tried to lift myself off the rock but my body said no. I had nothing left. The next thing I remember is opening my eyes, I was still in the same spot. There was a deafening, constant, crackling sound, like an untuned radio. I could see an object hovering in the sky not far from me. I saw what looked like a body, slowly descending to the ground through a beam of light. It looked like a big, hairy, ape-like creature, or maybe a puffy space suit of some sort.This is where my memories fade.In the few days after the incident, I felt confused, unsure of whether what I had seen actually happened. I had anxiety attacks and nightmares for weeks. I tried to process what I had experienced in the only way I know, through music. I made music to distract myself. A lot of it was weird, often not even music - just noises and soundscapes without any rhythm or structures.I have recently revisited those projects and re-worked some of them into songs and I have published them on Spotify.I have never spoken about this before because it’s a completely made-up story. Total humbug. But it’s heaps more entertaining than the truth, which is that I had a bunch of songs with meaningless working title names sitting around and was struggling to come up with a concept for an EP.Don’t judge me. Hope you enjoy the sound of Astro Sasquatches.
