tosan
Part II (Act 1&3) of The Machine Trilogy.
'tosan' scales the narrative up from the bedroom to the concrete monoliths of society. Here, individual happiness is reduced to friction in the gears of a vast state machinery. When human souls are treated as mere consumables, the pursuit of personal meaning becomes inherently futile. An icy, industrial exploration of living inside a system that eats its own.
MUKAIKAI (mkk like ‘okk’) is a sonic shapeshifter based in the frozen tundra of Toronto. A project of duality, he splits his sound into two distinct alter-egos: Kai, the smooth R&B crooner, and MKK, the rocker with an edge. When he isn’t navigating genre switches, he is likely hibernating through the Canadian winter—buried under a duvet, binging anime, and waiting for the snow to melt.
