Canadian artist Tom Meikle, the mind behind Mappe Of, operates at the fringes of folk, threading organic instrumentation through intricate, electronic textures.
His latest single, ‘Happiness In The Singularity’, pushes that fusion further, layering glitchy synths over wistful melodies in a meditation on digital permanence.
The track reflects on how technology preserves and distorts our sense of legacy, an idea Meikle wrestles with in its lyrics. “We’ve witnessed the beginning of a feasibly infinite legacy… Hundreds of years from now, someone could download our digital records and get a decent idea of who we were”, he notes, contrasting this with history’s tendency to flatten personalities into myth.
Both expansive and intimate, ‘Happiness In The Singularity’ frames the digital world not as cold storage, but as a living, evolving archive of who we are - and who we choose to be remembered as.
