Missing someone helps you make sense of the past and move through the present. It’s an emotional thread woven through toe’s “scrapbooks: chapter 3, ‘bigtoe & her'” album. The ninth track on the album, “miss_her.wav,” is a project born from relationships, memory, and the residual feelings of absence.
The visual design emphasizes the project’s scrapbook-like nature. The original hand-drawn illustrations and analog visuals offer another way to connect with the memories and emotions behind the music, beyond the audio. The album is supposedly an alt-work, personal and soulful, turning love, loss, and growing up into a communal narrative. It’s not a single experience, but the idea that these emotions are interlinking pieces of a larger personal history.
“miss_her.wav” is a part of that larger direction, a chapter in the larger story of the album of what’s left when someone leaves. It gives the album a unique creative backdrop, where music and visual expression both communicate a personal collection of experiences. It makes “miss_her.wav” a good fit for toe’s larger meditation on attachment, memory, and growing up.
