Ece Era’s “Sunny” continues to explore themes of self-discovery and authentic emotion, even sampling vocals from her previous track, “Inner Feeling”. “Sunny” marks Ece Era’s first foray into techno rumble bass, drawing inspiration from Squarepusher. “‘Sunny’ is about mindless positivity in the face of chaos, like turning a blind eye to the world’s atrocities. Instead of confronting harsh realities, people cling to a false sense of peace, ignoring the destruction around them. I had this image of someone turning up the volume on classical music while everything around them is burning. That’s what I often pictured while producing it,” she tells.
Shedding years of conditioning to uncover our truest selves can be a lifelong journey. The behaviors and identity traits we adopt during our formative years become deeply ingrained, making the process of “finding yourself” fraught with challenges. With her debut album, Bedside Tunes, releasing on October 25 via Brooklyn-based indie label 2MR, electronic musician and filmmaker Ece Era (pronounced “edge-uh air-uh”) presents a body of work that seeks to reveal this inner self. Beyond the conditioning of her childhood and the culture of her home nation, Turkey, lies Ece Era’s “real persona.” Through her music, she expresses that abstract, authentic inner voice, speaking with honesty and truth.
