WTF IS WLD
My name is Jonathan Burgess. White Light Devil is the name of a song/ablum I released in 2017 that I decided to use as an alias for my work. When I first thought of it, I imagined an actual devil. Beautiful. Calm. Surrounded by white light. Angelic alomst. The light is never close, yet it always feels a step away. It looks like freedom. Like clarity. You ignore the now for it. You move toward it without noticing you're moving at all. Time passes quietly and before you realize what's happened, you're no longer reaching for the light, you're inside it. And it's dark. It's the clean glow of the next idea. Reward without friction. Relief without presence. It feels gentle and convincing. And then the moment is gone. We easily confuse freedom with escape and arrival. I believe freedom can be dark. Freedom as awarness alongside choice. Life is short, yes. But, it's amazing how much we can do with such a short amount of time. White Light Devil is a mirror. The world reflecting myself and asking - what is my next task.
