“Holoplankton” is inspired by experiences that were made in the social VR game 'VRChat'. It is a journey through a love story that formed and broke in VR, containing stages of attraction, trust, insecurity, disappointment, heartbreak and healing. The album confronts the notion of the virtual being fake by musically depicting close interpersonal relationships which evoke feelings that are just as strong in the digital as in the 'real' world. ‘Holoplankton’ and the deep blue are used as a metaphor for the depth of human experiences that virtual reality can offer. The pioneer users of this technology are drifting around in this new medium (like plankton) right now, making memories and friends from all around the globe in a 'second life' that exists hidden away: In bedrooms and living rooms, behind drawn curtains, in the ocean of virtual reality.
