GG IRKALLA
WHO IS GG IRKALLA?Its hard to explain who I am without also mentioning who I once was: a niave girl looking for diamonds in the clouds and getting torn apart by metaphysical wolves instead. Where i now stand in life is that, like many artists, I have found that art is both magickal and alchemical, and in that sense it is incredibly healing. This is relevant to me because my music is disturbing for a reason: my lyrics, though cryptic at times, deal with issues of vast importance, such as schitzophrenia, mental illness, poverty, sexual assault, addiction, trauma, abuse, and the sort of ascension that is embodied by symbols such as the pheonix. I was born into a rift where the world was cracked, and spent 26 years climbing out of it, only to find that the world is cracked 98 other places too. As I grew up I saw that everyone I knew had two responses to the collapse of ecosystems and societies: give a shit and end up frustrated and exhausted, or not give a shit and become jaded and hollow. I chose a middle way, to heal the macrocosm by first healing the microcosm. I accomplish this through art as magick and magick as art, because for me, the answer to the greatest puzzle is that, like cave paintings, they are meant to be united as the same thing. Thus all I can really do in this strange endgame of midgard is to accomplish the great work of uniting my two selves. By doing this, I hope that I may make whole my spirit and find the weapon within me that the demiurge fears the most.
