I remember casually playing the piano in my bedroom when the Pharmakon riff crossed my mind. I started experimenting with different synthesizers and percussions by recording and sampling real sounds. A good friend of mine helped me out with the production part. We recorded the vocals, the piano and the main synths in his studio in Frankfurt last summer. At the time I was listening to a lot of Låpsley and Billie Eilish, who inspired the character of the vocal production. The lyrics are based on a philosophical concept, hence the name of the song, "Pharmakon". What fascinates me most about this concept is the dichotomous meaning of the word: in fact, in philosophy and critical theory, pharmakon means both remedy and poison. I expanded that concept to love and asked myself: is love a poison or a remedy? Like in a daze, love takes control of your actions and feelings and you're left wondering if it's really good or bad for you.
