THE SETTING OF THE ALBUM:
Steve Harvey uploads a series of videos on youtube called ‘Motivated’. In this series he has filmed himself preaching Christian self-help to the studio audiences of his various TV shows. Whether real raving devotees or TV-tourists held in a hostage ad break, the doting audience will tribute in applause. Already a mogul of entertainment television, Steve Harvey’s forceful move into the personal and spiritual lives of his audiences slashes through the vines and establishes a colony of cultural influence, consolidating itself more and more into a pillar of hard stone. Entertainment and self-proclaimed advice from god, through the conduit of the mustache millionaire, are being welded together. After a devastating apocalypse vaporized the building blocks of human civilisation and decades have gone rebuilding humanity to it’s ‘Classic era’ of pre-industrial empires and reawakened mystical idealism, Steve Harvey has emerged a new Pharaoh. His cultural domination was further enabled through the use of nu rituals and outer-body magics channelled from the artifacts of old technology… Indiscernible chunks of computer nestle in the moss and fresh-water. The metaphysical is now most physical, coexisting with the rudimentary recollection of pre-apocalyptic science & general knowledge.
In his time, pre-apocalypse, Steve Harvey wielded the power of public opinion - both hands gripped on the hilt. Sitting before him is an audience, a false-crowd of people, a simulation of a crowd made of fans on a waiting list for tickets which still resemble the abstract ‘crowd’ of public consensus. The prompted applause reinforces ideas within our cultural tapestry at Steve Harvey’s whim, it is a supreme power held in his hands (so long as the financial overlords of daytime TV - unaware of their impending atomisation - find him suitable for their decrepit coffers, overflowing with dollar bills). Fans are willing to sacrifice their identity in the court of Harvey as he draws on a constantly building tower of cultural significance, an amassing weight of influence…
All he lacked was economic dominance, and the atomisation of human society allowed the cultural & spiritual icon to coup the remains of economic power and become Pharaoh.
Here lies an album of dated stories from this new human experience, unsorted tales from the new old empire, sprawling stone wonders and pre-industrial economic power, the human finity asked and answered in a new context… A world of solitude and pre-documentation, with strong community and shared history.
