Let It Go

This episode for Brooklyn's Public Records Public Access channel marks the process of letting go for all the artists involved. Doomsquad gives their last live performance. After having the time to think about this project existentially, and consider the unknown future of touring and performing live shows, they realized they had said all they needed to say as DOOMSQUAD. This will be their Swan Song. Blake Macfarlane’s animation was made while awaiting a cancer diagnosis. This was the last completed piece of art he made. Jane makes her debut as a model after letting go of the idea that she was “too old” at 75, Diana let go of reality as she created her cosmic landscapes and Bold Doses made these tracks while experiencing bad COVID symptoms and the overwhelming urge to make feel good music for his friends.

Letting go is a painful process. One of rupture, sometimes even violence. As we collectively let go of old systems, habits, expectations, relationships and projects we must remember that this process is necessary for growth, renewal and the deep radical changes we so desperately need as we look towards a new horizon.
