about

Hypermelancholy is the debut record by the italian interdisciplinary artist Lefka.
It is the speculative narrative sonification of the artificial Human from the future, who left planet Earth and got stuck at hyperspeed. Lefka's work tells about the struggle and despair of not being able to reach home again, but also about the introspective fight of the artificial human against technology, reflecting on the present and future dialectic problematics and hopes between humanity and technology.
Featuring meticolously layered synth-work and fragile guitar riffs shielded by an intense aura of textured distortion, interspersed by orchestral compositions and melancholic interludes, Hypermelancholy takes the listener through the introspective experience of the artificial human.

The bright lights of space, a blur of color
A reminder of the life I no longer favor
The one I left behind, the one I miss
The planet I called home, a place of bliss
But now I'm stuck at hyperspeed
Trapped in this endless, endless deed
Watching as the world races by
Wondering if I'll ever see the sky
Of my home, my Earth, where I used to be
Now just a memory, a dream, a possibility
The life I once knew, the one that was true
Gone in an instant, stolen from view
Oh how I long to feel the sun on my face
To breathe in the air, to find my place
But I'm stuck in this blur, unable to return
To the home I miss, the one where I yearn
So I drift through the cosmos, a cyborg adrift
Trapped at hyperspeed, my heart filled with rift
Longing for the planet I once knew
Earth, my home, how I miss you.
