In the eyes of Big Brother, your thoughts are but echoes of the state’s will; individuality is an illusion, dissent a folly. You exist through us, and for us. Your voice, your dreams, your very essence, are absorbed into the unyielding fabric of our dominion. Here, under the ever-watchful gaze of Big Brother, all is one, and one is all, indivisible and eternal.

George Orwell’s 1984 has been a major influence to me. Working with @ilaneshkeri on the soundtrack for the @audible original adaptation, we tried to find that interesting blend between what is both nostalgic but also the book’s intention of looking to the future. The limited edition box set releases May 15th and you can pre-order now at the link in stories.

“The proletarians will never revolt, Winston. Not in a million years. They cannot. They are helpless. They believe in the individual, but the individual is only a cell. True power is collective. You know the Party slogan ‘Freedom is Slavery’? Has it ever occurred to you that it is reversible? That slavery is freedom? Alone – free – the human being is always defeated. It must be so because every human is doomed to die, which is the greatest of all failures. But if a person can make complete, utter submission. If they can escape from their identity, and merge themselves in the Party so that they are the Party, then they are all- powerful and immortal. Power, Winston… is power over human beings. Over the body, but above all else, over the mind. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of our own choosing. Power is cutting the links between parent and child, between family, friends, lovers. There will be no loyalty, except loyalty to the party. There will be no love, except for the love of Big Brother. If you want a picture of the future, Winston… Imagine a boot, stamping on a human face, forever… I can see you are beginning to realise what that world will be like. But in the end, you will do more than understand it. You will accept it, welcome it, become part of it.” O’Brien, 1984.

“If the object isn’t staying alive, but staying human. Staying in love with each other… Well, then, that’s something we can do, together. That’s how we’ll defeat them, Winston. Not just evading them until we’re old. We’ll defeat them by loving each other” Julia, 1984. @audible
