100% Bioplastic LP's ! One of the world's first bioplastic pressings.

Single LP / Gatefold Jacket with 12 page booklet insert
Art direction, Prop design & Artwork by Nitcha Tothong (Fame)
Independent label Ropeadope has teamed up with Evolution Music UK to press one of the world’s first bioplastic LPs. Evovinyl bioplastic is a plant based high performance natural polymer that will have a profound impact on sustainability in the vinyl pressing process. The first pressing will be Sirintip’s carbon, a project that addresses climate change from a musical perspective, with sustainability built into the process. Carbon was recorded at Manifold Recording Studios, a carbon neutral solar-powered studio on 16 acres of rural land in North Carolina.
As Sirintip is bringing climate change to the forefront through her music, it is natural that she would be one of the first to embrace this new, sustainable technology. Risk is inherent in creating change, and while the cost is not at parity with PVC, helping to pioneer and work through this change to help it move to the mainstream is a risk she and Ropeadope are willing to take. Fans who support the project will own one of the first of its kind bioplastic LPs, and will be a voice to further the perfection of the process. carbon will use 100% recycled chipboard for the outer jackets.

about
plastic bird (biodiversity)
Plastic Bird is based on the consequences of plastic pollution and the importance of biodiversity. The drums on the recording are a blend of sampled plastic trash from my kitchen, plastic water jugs as a part of the drum kit, and a grand piano recorded through a plastic container. The biodiversity part is emphasized during the intro where the rhythms of the vocal loops are transcribed from the Black Sickelbill’s mating dance. While writing the lyrics to Plastic Bird, I drew parallels to imposter syndrome: a plastic toy bird who wants to fly like the real birds but its fear of being discovered prevents it from even trying. This feeling of imposter syndrome is especially common among minority women, like south east asian women, and that feeling provides an empathetic anchor to the larger imperceptible notion of climate change.
lyrics
โบยบิน โบยบิน โบยบิน โบยบิน (flying)
time is running out, they’ll soon know
my beak is shut and both my wings are tied
not by nature, sketched out by luck
behind my eyes, there’s only air that’s left inside
watch them take off, weeping willow
to where i’ve only ventured in my dreams
will i ever get to fly away
across the ocean where i know i still belong
what if they see through me?
i’ll fall
nowhere to go
so when can i feel
my own wings on a cloud
in the pink moonlight
where i’m not a plastic bird?
what if i forget all my moves?
i’m glued down to the ground, can’t make a sound
they’ve already seen my parade
but my reflection shows me losing every game
what if they see through me?
i’ll fall
nowhere to go
so when can i feel
my own wings on a cloud
in the pink moonlight
where i’m not a plastic bird?

A story of sadness, confusion, and despair ending in hope and certainty that the cosmos is not a random and meaningless jumble of atoms populated by mindless mechanical men, but a world of meaning, beauty, and truth. Emotions and the heart are not everything, but they are an essential part of being human. ianjworsomething
