It's Heavy, there's no more sound It's Heavy and I can't put it down How do you rewind 48 years of my life I fast forward through it all As a machine keeps you alive You built me to be a strong one Didn't know you would also give me the test A waiting room and a hallway You were laid to rest It's Heavy, there's no more sound It's Heavy and I can't put it down There's no other way to put this And I realize two days isn't enough What is this void, what was that choice A printed piece of paper was your voice And I kept hear somebody say that It wasn't meant to be this way I held you as you left Dad, it's ok It's Heavy, there's no more sound It's Heavy and I can't put it down

about

Do I have new music for you today? Yes. Is it a typical Frequency Collisions release? No.
Allow me to explain…For my birthday this year my wife gifted me a 3 day/night solo trip to a cabin in the woods. It was going to be a great trip by myself to reset and to just breathe.

A few days before my trip my Dad unexpectedly passed away. Without going into too much detail I went back n forth on whether I should still take my trip given the circumstances. Both my wife and my Mom encouraged me to go. They said it would be good for me…they were right.

So I went and stayed on a 74 acre property in the woods with only myself, my thoughts, and a 2 ton pile of grief on my head and heart. I walked in the woods a lot over those three days. I talked to myself. I talked to rabbits. I talked to my dad. It was therapy for me. I’d walk and then go record in the cabin where I had set up my recording gear. I’d walk, go record, walk, and go record. For three days I repeated this process. In between I cried, tried to smile and remember the good times, and I felt a loss and a void that I had never felt before. These songs are what three days of isolation, sadness, loss, and grief will get you. Not to sound too dramatic.

The music that came out of those three days exists solely as a snapshot of the week that followed the loss of my Dad. I have no other master plans for these songs. I just wanted to share them. Most of the songs are just musical sketches meant to capture what I was feeling at that exact moment I was recording. The first night there I wrote “It’s Heavy”. It’s the only song on this collection with vocals…I’ll let the song explain the rest. The last song “74 Acres” I recorded my last night there. I stuck a microphone out on the deck of my cabin and just recorded about 10 minutes of the night. I put some music over it and it felt like a nice conclusion, and perhaps some closure, to those brief three days. When I left for home I felt different. It’s hard to explain in this limited space but all I will say is that losing a parent changes you. I’m still devastated from losing my Dad but I am so grateful for those three days I got to mourn my father in my own personal way.

I’ve titled this collection of songs “Walk”…for obvious reasons. I decided to share these songs with you under my name Ryan Rud instead of Frequency Collisions. I think it felt more appropriate to do so and to also honor the name I got from my Father.

Again, thank you to the many people that offered their support during this time. Myself and my family cannot thank you all enough for the kindness and love you’ve shown to us. Thank you.

My father was loved and this collection of songs are for him.

-Ryan
