Биография
As an acclaimed avant-folk artist based in Toronto, Mappe Of (aka Tom Meikle) is well aware of his good fortune. He’s been free to pursue his passion in one of the most liberal, culturally diverse cities in the world, and he recognizes his life has been spared the daily struggles and indignities faced by society’s most vulnerable communities. But as he established on Mappe Of’s 2017 debut, A Northern Star, A Perfect Stone, Meikle is a songwriter striving for deep emotional connections with his listeners, and it’s impossible to do that in 2019 without confronting the fear and distress hanging in the air. But rather than go the typical folksinger route and make a record that explicitly addresses the state of the world, he’s responded with an epic conceptualized modern folk album situated in a universe of his own creation: The Isle of Ailynn. “I never set out for you to think on a surface level,” Meikle says. “Through the process of writing, it was necessary for me to connect to these real-world issues that I was struggling to sort out in my own head. And this fantasy landscape gave me creative freedom to explore those ideas. World-building is not about escapism—It’s more about confrontation through escapism.” And as The Isle of Ailynn affirms, sometimes you need to go somewhere make-believe to feel what’s real.
