When Apples Battle Gravity is a radio opera; a concept album about different characters discussing the failure of communication and being outsiders. It’s about consecutiveness of reactions and the attempt at creating empathy. The complex narrative thread, made of juxtaposed and superimposed excerpts of simultaneous conversations between various characters is interrupted by “songs”, which act as comments extempore. Concrete soundscapes and intimate ones lead the listener in and out of the mind of the characters, and the diversity of music genres that merge into this album matches the multifaceted narration. As in today’s life, memory and reality are almost indistinguishable. Creation and its reproduction coexist.
Ellis Whitaker is a seemingly superficial young adult who messes around without consciousness and still cannot find a way out to her personal problems. Her voyage through a night into the next day in a big city which never sleeps is intertwined with various encounters, memories of therapy sessions, conversations from dinner parties taking place at the same time in other rooms, mingling in a non linear radio opera, summing up the sense of discomfort coming from maimed interactions.
