Aging at Airports/Black Vinyl

Description

The idea for the album title came about before the music even existed, as Touch was spending more and more time in airports while on tour. In their own words: "I felt like I was losing a huge part of my life waiting for the next show, entertaining, performing my music, and creating timeless moments with others. This waiting, this slowly passing time at boarding, radically contrasted with what I want to do as an artist: be in motion, create things that will last forever. The airport, as a bustling platform, symbolized this ambivalence. And it reminded me: every second, whether waiting or moving, I must accept that I am fading, that my creativity, my face, and my body are fading. As a performing artist, everything feels like a strange contrast. If you want to stay true to yourself and express yourself authentically, you also expect eternal youth and inexhaustible power from yourself. You often try to distract people, but creating this art forces me to confront my own transience. I feel the difficulty of fitting into this artificial and powerful framework that the world has established, and the desire to break free from it."
