To Record Only Water for Ten Days (2018)

To Record Only Water for Ten Days echoes the drug fuelled troubled period of John Frusciante in the late ‘90 that led to the recording of the similarly titled album. The now rejoined RHCP guitarist narrowly escaped an early overdose and who overcame his addiction through recording the sixteen songs album back in 2001. The music on the album speaks about the absence of fate, about giving up and detaching from reality. Though also about how to open up and to share this journey inwards.

It is an album full of naive contradictions, a testament to shocking depression and deep loneliness but also a monument to the ultimate victory over depression. Transforming into a guide to fighting isolation and how to revolt against the indifference of the world. These photographs flow meditatively through this mindset, referring to locations where music was recorded, where drugs were shot up, to where the boundaries between life and death were sometimes indistinguishable. To where friends died on the steps of the Viper Room, from the hills of Hollywood to the deserts of Zzyzx.
