Album Concept and Themes ALBUM: Scarcity – Aveilut Zip — Arewanmu

: Much of the recording took place during the early COVID-19 lockdowns in Beijing and New York, where Moore lived next to a funeral home, deeply influencing the album's bleak, death-obsessed tone. : Composer, guitar, bass, synthesizer, drum programming

: It is categorized as avant-garde black metal and drone, utilizing 72-note octaves and psychoacoustic phenomena to create an overwhelming, dissonant soundscape. Alex Eckman-Lawn : Design

The album consists of one continuous 45-minute song divided into five distinct movements, available for streaming on Bandcamp : (10:14) II (10:41) III (4:54) IV (5:45) V (13:22)

: The title Aveilut is the Hebrew word for "mourning".

: The music was written as a "grief ritual" while Randall-Myers was processing the sudden deaths of two people close to him.
