"introducing christine k. she feels that she has lost most of her life through the conditions and schooling that were put upon her. upon her mind, body, and soul. those frustrations. that grief. she wanted to express all of that through heavy shadows and black out misery. a dark ambient record that follows a deep dive into cold meat, loki foundation, cyclic law, and the like. her favorite being raison d'etre. she asked me to help, and of course, i did. she's my wife. in making this, she would tinker with the electronics and explain what she wanted something to sound like, and i would help shape it. she would argue with me when i pushed it to sound too much like himukalt, and i would try to course correct, try to learn what she wanted. i had to learn to slow down. we both had to learn to communicate. it was a sensual process, at times erotic. but 'an empty fiction' is very much her record and it's all about christine's blood and tears, embracing all of it in the search of wisdom, in search of transcendence no matter how much it hurts." - ester kärkkäinen / himukalt
