goodnight, Lucas
a self-produced solo project by lucas biewen
raised in durham, nc and based in nyc, lucas writes, records, produces and mixes his own music in his apartment in lower manhattan.
classically trained on piano as a child and inspired by a variety of influences spanning across genres such as grunge, folk, shoegaze, ambient and cloud rap, goodnight, Lucas creates a world of ghostly introspective malaise contrasted by moments of fierce vulnerability.
requiem
the debut album by goodnight, Lucas
standout tracks: soz, requiem, begger, and adorn
requiem is an ode to nature and source. it is a record of my grapple with self-abandonment, dissociation, loss of innocence and rejection - processing pain and trauma in search of self, and finding a personal sense of faith molded by truth amidst an environment of vapid consumerism. a requiem by definition is a musical piece of mourning, my requiem is a mourning of a past self, given up for source, and simultaneously a rejoiceful embrace of my existence as a part of nature.

the title nods to an embrace of death as the fundamental act of nature. everything must die in order to make way for more life. i believe much of the consumerism of the western world is fueled by a fear of death, which is instilled in us in many ways throughout culture. requiem is a series of journal entries along my process of undoing this conditioned fear, and learning to embrace the tragic beauty of death as a source for deeper connection to life.
