As 2013 drew to a close, Connecticut's Dom McLennon released what he has described as a "New multimedia project." Titled THESIS, it is an amalgamation of music, images, .GIFs, and videos presented across a series of platforms, the base of which is Dom's website. Dom has offered the following explanation for his work:
I AM A MUSICIAN AND ARTIST, AS WELL AS A CREATOR THAT IS A PART OF THE ALIVESINCEFOREVER COLLECTIVE. SINCE MY LAST MUSICAL ENDEAVOR I’VE BEEN WORKING ON A NEW MULTIMEDIA PROJECT THAT I WILL BEGIN REVEALING TO YOU ALL SOON. WHAT STARTED AS A MUSICAL JOURNEY TO CREATE SOMETHING DIFFERENT BECAME MY FIRST THINK PIECE;
As for the music itself, McLennon weaves together an abstract narrative taking full inspiration from the Internet. It is reflected in the titles of the songs, such as "Thinkpiece." He also makes reference to inspirations, such as Sky Ferreira. The production, helmed mainly by McLennon's Alive Since Forever crew, is ambient and samples from a wide spectrum of online-based influences.
THESIS is an ambitious project, one that might not be readily accessible to everyone, but one that shows the vast potential of both McLennon and music itself as we enter the new year.
