‘sessions_operator’: Floating in Desolation

‘sessions_operator’ is silent rebellion in the face of an insidious, structured force. Its haunting melodies feel distorted and isolated, far from consciousness yet aware and awake. This distance feels provoking and probing while also presenting a choice.

The first line of the song establishes our status quo, the grain against which our narrator is moving away from. Their eyes are open, while they acknowledge the unfairness and sense of isolation in a uniform world.

“…sessions_operator take you where you need to be…

…If I fall, that’s all on me…’.

‘sessions_operator’ seeks connection in an isolating world. Desolate and lonely while separating from the grain, our narrator wants the listener to wake and join them at a time “…when the world fails to end…”. The narrator implores;

“…If I float, will you float with me?…

…Come float with me…”.

The song’s simplicity allows its singular, individual desire to come through. Its bare soundscape communicates a sense of desolation that our narrator numbly, but desperately attempts to pull away from. This with an arm out-stretched for anyone willing to join them.

‘sessions_operator’ by Mitchell Leonard is simple but profound, with layered moments of meaning that seem to shine through the song’s expansive soundscape. We seem to float like the narrator, slowly peeling away from the structure and order that attempts to bind us.

Whether we fully join the narrator in their flow seems up to interpretation.
