What few people knew at the time is that the album was composed in its entirety twice: after a catastrophic disk crash destroyed the original version and one year of work, Villuis entered a period of deep introspection before starting over. This shock led not only to emotional reckoning but also to a complete reinvention of his creative process. Leylines

VOID Water Fest made its debut this April at RCA Central Park, and from the moment I arrived, it didn’t feel like a first edition. The event was built around a single stage with a clean layout and a lineup that actually made sense. It didn’t try to do too much. It didn’t feel overdone. Everything about the setup focused on what mattered. Music. Crowd. Timing. The stage design had a futuristic look without being too flashy. LED screens gave each artist space to showcase their own visuals. Water j
