    ‘Why does my mind do this?’ is an 8 track album aiming to raise awareness of mental health in Ireland and beyond from a personal, societal, and systematic standpoint.


    The bulk of the album was written based off the stories of 6 people, all involved within music in Ireland to some capacity. The main idea was to break down these stories from the 3 main mental states - Thought, Emotion, Reaction.


    The idea was to translate the stories into music, to achieve this I attempted to tackle each state using a different section of the compositions. The lyrics of each track tackles thoughts and also emotion, while the harmonies and melodies aimed to tackle specifically emotion. The sound design, structure and pacing of the tracks were influenced primarily by the reactions, both physical and mental.


    Historically, emotionally charged musical pieces have been primarily about the mental anguish of the artist and not someone else, which makes this project more unique. The aim is that while not every idea will connect, listeners can take what may resonate with their own personal experiences. The wide variety of themes and stories is a strong indication that this is possible to an extent.


    The outer body of music, in the intro and outro tracks is not involved within the personal experiences of individuals, but more highlighting the problem that lies within the field, and perhaps ways in which the situation can improve over the proceeding years.


    All profits from this album and launch party will go to Jigsaw Ireland, who specialize in providing acute mental health advice to struggling adolescents and young adults, particularly those under financial disadvantage.
