on WYSIATI, Diogo Sarabando from himalion - a chamber-pop/indie-folk group from Aveiro (Portugal) - reflects on themes of memory, anxiety of moving on, and past/present/future interplay, based on the bias coined by Daniel Kahneman which highlights how we tend to make judgments based on readily available information while ignoring what’s not immediately present after touring the debut LP BLOOMING, Diogo cast anchor at Henry Simões’ "Lost in Pico" in Ilha do Pico (Azores). for three weeks, with gaze magnetically bound to the Pico mountain, through the cryptomeria forests or feet deep in volcanic sand bathed in Atlantic blue, Diogo started the seed work for the upcoming LP WYSIATI not long after, Diogo enrolled in a transformative School of Song course led by Robin Pecknold from Fleet Foxes. School of Song’s focus on community building and the educational safe harbour approach served as a catalyst for the exploration of WYSIATI’s crux: “the mind doesn’t account for chance and falsely assumes the future will be similar to the past” at the end of the course, Robin graciously donated a professional recording and mixing budget to Diogo allowing him to fulfil one of himalion’s initial goals: to collaborate with a greater spectrum of musicians, particularly from Aveiro mixed by Phil Weinrobe (Adrianne Lenker, Tomberlin, Hand Habits) and mastered by Josh Bonati (Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver, Mac DeMarco) in Brooklyn, WYSIATI the LP will be out soon
