# “Web 3.0” by Jeb Burroughs

I’ve always been entranced by this photo by Camilo Fuentealba. It’s always felt as if the man isn’t really there at all. So I wanted to make a playlist in which I try to figure out where he might have went.

Screens in general can feel hypnotizing so I wanted to start this spiral with “Who?” by Topaz Jones. From there I’m imagining he fell into a new place, a void of sorts. The next couple songs are meant to illustrate that idea of falling deep into the unknown. When he lands, he wakes up in a foreign space, where the color of the internet bends and distorts- light refracting in every direction, cosmic energy kind of reminiscent of Space Jam. At first it’s frightening, but soon becomes a wondrous exploration- entrancing and comfortable. The colorful song “キラーボール” translated to “Killer Ball” from Gesu No Kiwami Otome has that perfect sense of adventure that feels akin to a montage from some type of cinematic experience in a novel place. The sun then sets on the horizon of this newfound paradise to which the nostalgic “A Drop Filled With Memories” fills the golden hour light just right. Once sun has set, though he may be clinging to stay, a UFO of sorts aka “Veridis Quo" by Daft Punk tractor beam sucks him back to reality on earth and dumps him in a snow bank in Sweden to which “Vreden” by Sara Parkman wakes him up with pulsating bass and deafening vocals to let him know that he is in fact, back where he started. To some degree at least.
