Nick Corbo battles the darkness on his own as spirit_was:
Heaven’s Just a Cloud
Before having his mind blown by the fluid arts scene and inspiring musical landscape while studying music at SUNY Purchase, Corbo felt out of place, wanting more than the screamo and “problematic” tough-guy hardcore scenes he steered clear of growing up in Northern Connecticut. “I feel like I owe my whole life to Purchase,” Corbo recalls. “Say what you will about higher education and the college experience.
“Heavy music is such a spectrum. Heaviness is sort of like a flavor to itself that you can kind of add to whatever you want. People have done that for so long, I love exploring all the different parts of that spectrum,” says Corbo about the exciting prospects of delving into the dark depths of this new project. “You see somebody like Phil [Elverum], of course, who’s sort of dabbling in all of those heavy-duty albums of his that are ambient heaviness [that] I was hugely inspired by.
“I learned everything over time. Not ‘everything,’ everything, but definitely, you know, the rock band instruments,” says Corbo with a laugh, recalling his plan to resurrect this project like a man called by a deity to build a cathedral. “I was like, here are my camps. I’m just gonna go crazy here and do everything myself and really arrange it very specifically the way that I want to. I spent a really, really, really long time arranging this whole project on the computer.
