AVERDONIA: The Album is OUT NOW on streaming platforms. 🔗 in bio. You may support goneMUNE directly by purchasing the album on Bandcamp. — After a year-long hiatus, Singaporean dark experimental artist goneMUNE resurfaces with AVERDONIA - an entirely self-produced long-play project that serves both as an emotionally heavy concept piece and as the introduction of their cyborg alter-ego of the same name. Sonically, it fuses jagged experimentation with shadowy synthwave textures and drifting ambient passages, birthing soundscapes as volatile as the narrative itself. Each track (and its accompanying music videos) pulls listeners into AVERDONIA’s fractured journey, where mechanical chaos collides with resurfacing human memories - an internal battle between artist and cyborg that questions how we might confront a world steeped in inequity. Storyline: Raised in their father’s home lab facility, AVERDONIA awakens alone in a broken chamber. With no memory of the past. the cyborg notices steel and wires churning within their body, now programmed to have emotions but lacking the trigger to activate them., and steps into the outer world in search of what remains of their former life. They discover a strange lingering attachment to the mysterious masked individual (who names himself V) that seemingly appeared out of nowhere. What AVERDONIA realizes - and lives through next - unleashes deeply human temperaments that they once escaped from, now reoccurring again in this current life.... All tracks written, produced and mixed by goneMUNE. Additional mixing engineers include TZECHAR (@tzechar.art ) in Track 2 AMNESIA, Falling Islands (@fallingislands ) in Track 4 GLITCH, Mervin Wong (@mervinwong00 ) in Track 7 SELF-DESTRUCT. All tracks mastered by Mervin Wong (@mervinwong00 ). Cover art shot and edited by @van______anh . MUNE is styled in the cover art by @destroyryvn . — Please enjoy. 🌑

It’s been a long time since I last performed live, and one of the reasons is something I’ve spoken about before and don’t wish to repeat. I’ve carried a lot of anxiety and mixed feelings about returning to live performances, but I’m glad I had this moment at Swee Lee yesterday with @mervinwong00 for AVERDONIA. Things are different now. I no longer feel like I’m being harmful to myself. I don’t feel as insecure or as powerless. There has been a lot of change in my life and a lot of self-work done, and I think I’m absolutely ready to take on more performances again. Thank you so much to @mervinwong00 for handling much of the backend work for the performance, as well as graciously performing viola on some of the tracks. I truly appreciate Mervin. He’s done so much for AVERDONIA, from mastering the original tracks you hear on streaming platforms to giving thoughtful feedback on my mixes. AVERDONIA’s good ole cyborg friend. Please do check out his music and live performances too! Also shoutout to @isaacchiew218 for having us! I really appreciate the space and support. Shoutout too to @dzorder for the shoulder piece :) As always, AVERDONIA is a hard cyborg to catch, so come through for a live performance if you can. But for those who missed it or who aren’t in Singapore, the FULL LIVE RECORDED performance of my set is now available for y’all to watch here: https://openyoutu.be/kOzu-YRWaHw / link in my bio. XX

This year marked the birth of AVERDONIA. When I was a child and a teenager, I remember feeling extremely alone - like no one around me was going through a traumatic upbringing. When I spoke about the abuse I was facing, I was told to just suck it up. A lot of media glorifies and portrays people in ways that make us want a specific kind of lifestyle. There’s so much idolization of others and of things, and in a way, that becomes escapism - something many people long for. I desperately wanted a lifestyle that could make me happy. But at a young age, I realized I had to work around my circumstances, which were undeniably unfair for a child to go through. That meant I wouldn’t really be able to live the kind of life media portrays and I soon understood that it wasn’t very useful for me as someone who had lived in survival mode their entire life. There is no doubt that there is a lot of unfairness in this world, starting from how we’re born into it - how we look, where we’re born, our genetics - things we never had a choice in. Even birth itself was never our decision. Yet when I look back at my younger selves, again and again - despite how difficult things can be in my personal life and in my music career how others perceive and treat me - I still want to keep going for them. And I understand that this, in itself, becomes a mirror for others too. Early on, when I first started making music, I told a close friend that I might never reach a large level of popularity because of my music’s subject matter - which was mostly trauma - something many people struggle to face, or have never faced at all. What I truly wished for were listeners who would stay with me through experimentation, through how they relate to my music and stories, and venture down the path of recovery together with me as I do. I’m very grateful to have witnessed a part of that this year through AVERDONIA. Thank you to everyone who listened to AVERDONIA and followed the story of the cyborg. I’ll be taking a brief break from music, but I hope you’ll look forward to my future releases - I’m excited to explore a new era.

as a gift from me to you - especially those who don’t live in singapore and can’t catch my live shows - AVERDONIA’s full tracks (except the interludes) have been filmed/performed in a “LIVE” setting. this is something i’ve wanted to do for a long time, and i’m glad i finally get to share it with you. once again, very proud of this piece and i hope you enjoy it too. thank you for supporting AVERDONIA - i hope you’ll support this as well; it’s almost like a parting gift as the story comes to an end. you can watch it on you-tube over at goneMUNE now. filmed at @citymusicsg

‘SELF-DESTRUCT’ from AVERDONIA the album was a challenging song to complete because it initially sounded more experimental and lacked a complete structure. the lyrics were there, but I suppose when I was first producing it, I wasn’t feeling my emotions entirely. I was also deep in denial over grieving a specific situation and person - I hadn’t really allowed myself to completely feel the pain. I sat with the demo for a while. it was actually the second AVERDONIA song to be finished and started on after AMNESIA, and I felt the added pressure of making something as good as that, or something I could feel very proud of. it’s also the first ever song I started mixing and producing all on my own - on a laptop and on an actual DAW (digital audio workstation). prior to that, I was producing entirely on iOS GarageBand on my iPad until the screen died one day I remember feeling very anxious and scared. what if.. what I do in this track doesn’t live up to AMNESIA? what if the other tracks after this can’t be as great? I took a long break from producing - a whole year of not doing it. riddled with insecurity for the remaining tracks, I broke down. and then I felt the pain of this and what I was initially trying to hold back all of my emotions from. I had to restructure the song after my breakdown. I realized that it fit more of a vocal-focused track, and I wanted to create a powerful ending track - something that feels like AVERDONIA rising up from their pain slowly (though not entirely, because they’re still healing.) with that came the pieces... and SELF-DESTRUCT was finished. painfully. not only did it change the way I saw production and how I produced the other AVERDONIA tracks, but also songwriting - and taking a healthier approach to grieving and creating. as lonely as it felt, I look back on it with relief and comfort that I had lived through this myself.

as someone who has lived most of their life in isolation and refused to share certain issues and trauma in the past, I could not exactly grasp the concept of others relating to my music initially. spending a lot of time in deep depression in my early years ever since I was a child had warped my brain and perception of life - I imagined that the world was filled with people who just wished to hurt others - seeing the people around me do the same thing continuously - and I did not receive validation for what I was going through. hearing others voice out about how much AVERDONIA the album means to them, has touched me and surprised me at the same time. no longer do I have to be in fear that no one would understand what I went through. 2025 has been a year that I realized the true depths of my past, the hurt inflicted upon me from closed ones that have failed me, and most importantly, that some people do resonate with what I went through and they could hold space for me as well as holding space for others that have went/go through similar things. thank you for listening to AVERDONIA, and may this story of the cyborg linger on for years to come. there’s no ‘old’ or ‘new’ - like ‘trends’, things just come and go, then resurface again. in a few years from now, I hope it still stays in peoples’ minds - people that find this album years from now and people that have always known it. that is what I also wish for this album, other than it finding people who resonate with it. I’m grateful. AVERDONIA the album is out now. Photos shot and edited by @van______anh Stylist @destroyryvn

After hiding this for so long, I need to say it: AMNESIA was born from my experience of being s*xually assaulted. It returned to me after a year of trying to heal and step away from music. I am still coming into terms with what happened. It still gives me anxiety, but I’m glad I’ve moved on from people I once cried so heavily for. Releasing AMNESIA, PRAYER, and GLITCH (and eventually the full story and songs of AVERDONIA) has been both painful and healing. AVERDONIA’s story is helping me, and I hope it could help whoever too.
