Behind the Music
Dex ArsonI spent a better portion of my childhood marveling majestic whales from the other side of a plexiglass cage. As I got older, I became more morally conflicted over the idea of keeping wild animals in captivity for entertainment. Reading “Hunting Hunters” gave me hope, as I learned of the seafarers who risk their lives to put an end to the capturing and slaughtering of beautiful animals such as whales. I want my music to be a testament to that cause, and reflect a range of emotions I experienced during “Hunting Hunters” — the foreboding feeling upon first being introduced to the whaling ships, the adrenaline of the chase, and the acceptance of viewing defeat as another chance to do good.
