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
red eyes (endangered Indochinese tigers)
As I was researching endangered animals, I learned that many of them are in Sumatra, an island in western Indonesia close to my home country Thailand. I decided to continue my search and I learned that tigers in Thailand also are endangered. Tigers have lost 95% of their habitat due to poaching, rising sea level, and human-wildlife conflict. To highlight the connection to Thailand, I used sampled thai drums, thai instrument Ranat & Thai guitar to make the track which I had recorded at Mahasarakham university in 2015 and Kengchakaj recorded a thai tuned moog synthesizer. The lyrics themselves are about being tokenized as a metaphorical perspective of tigers being feared but yet hunted and turned into trophies. Red eyes is the laser from the hunters gun that the tigers see.
lyrics
broke out of my chains and now i’m on the run
don’t need another master, i’m out i’m done
never wanted to fight
but if you dare, i’ll take you out
i am not your trophy, i am not your prize
i was born to stay at home, uncivilized
red eyes
no i’m not falling for you no more
red eyes
no you gotta turn around before i roar
how can you not see,
what you did to me?
why don’t you just let me be free?
am i the one you fear
cry’s noone can hear
why don’t you just leave me as me?
locked into the shadows, there i’ll be, the mold between
always be behind you, i’m at your mercy, don’t end me
need a space to breathe
live my way and live in peace
you push me out to hunt me
make me do your dance
but i am not your prize, your prize, your prize
red eyes
no i’m not falling for you no more
red eyes
no you gotta turn around before i roar
how can you not see,
what you did to me?
why don’t you just let me be free?
am i the one you fear
cry’s noone can hear
why don’t you just leave me as me?
red eyes
no i’m not falling for you no more
red eyes
no you gotta turn around before i roar
how can you not see,
what you did to me?
why don’t you just let me be free?
am i the one you fear
cry’s noone can hear
why don’t you just leave me as me?

Written over the course of two years, “Chances” captures an array of life experiences in moving soft-focus pop songs. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 20, 2022
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
