Written, produced, and performed by yours truly.

The album title, and a lot of the lyricism, drew from the experiences, emotions, and thought patterns I've had over the last year and a half. I have lots of anxieties about the world, but I'm grateful for the love and support of my friends and family.

Musically, the biggest inspiration for this album has been my Weber upright piano, which we bought second-hand shortly after moving to CT. It has a practice pedal, which plops a nice thick felt right down between the strings and the hammers. I'll sit down and doodle on it daily. In the end, I ended up recording it for every song on the album except the two instrumental songs, ironically enough. The last song on the album is a solo piano/vocal piece.

I hope you enjoy Scenes from a Window.

Lyrics:
We've treaded here before, but never found a way through
Some might say we're long past the point of no return
Don't have the numbers, and one still wonders
How much do we have left to burn
 
The only way out now is to outsmart the enemy
We're all playing by the rules of modern engagement
There's blood on the line, but we're holding this time
The other end of this arrangement
 
Day will break, and clouds will form
The rain may fall, the ground stays firm
Hiding from silhouettes
Some future world's regret
Night will fall, and life will sleep
The nightmares come, the heart still beats
If you feel me slip away, shake me awake
 
Some might choose to stay, and some would rather leave
This moment may have two vastly different outcomes
It quickly coalesced, the hum of unrest
The world has come undone
 
I’ve been waiting for the train to leave the station
I'll take the next one and see you on the other side
Before we came to the message came through
Some things should be left to die
 
Day will break, and clouds will form
The rain may fall, the ground stays firm
Hiding from silhouettes
Some future world's regret
Night will fall, and life will sleep
The nightmares come, the heart still beats
If you feel me slip away, shake me awake

It’s easy to, it’s easy to get lost, get lost in this world
But as long as you, as long as you are here by my side, we can conquer it
It’s easy to, it’s easy to get lost, get lost in this world
But as long as you, as long as you are here by my side, we can conquer it

Lyrics:
One thing leads to another
Creating what comes after
The cause and effect of the moment
Haven’t yet been deciphered

Memorizing positions
Look there go traditions
Minute by minute it changes
Can't settle on one definition

Put all the cards on the damn table
Take it and run as soon as you’re able
Look around, nobody knows about
The coming fallout

Come celebrate the downfall
Blow it up no matter how small
A little too late for the backsees
We've already ruled it a fair ball

Put all the cards on the damn table
Take it and run as soon as you’re able
Look around, nobody knows about
The coming fallout

Lyrics:
This ain't the time to lose my mind
Sober decisions are needed
A mental break, resuscitate
The pressure has long been exceeded
I'm in too deep, been losing sleep
I show all the signs of obsession
I'm sure I'm right, I locked it tight
But somewhere along the way I lost them

Will the payoff in the end be greater than the spend of energy
Is this a bold ideal or is this closer to insanity
Drop anchor in the sand, and slip under the waves of bitterness
Waiting for the calm and trusting in the process

Try and maintain a steady gain
A tempo that pushes me forward
Look for the shapes, ways to relate
Parse out the chaos from order
I'm still alive, prob'ly been revived
I won't take another breath for granted
No choice to make, too much at stake
I won't leave the helm uncommanded 

Will the payoff in the end be greater than the spend of energy
Is this a bold ideal or is this closer to insanity
Drop anchor in the sand, and slip under the waves of bitterness
Waiting for the calm and trusting in the process

Drop Anchor

Koki Chant is here!

𝙇𝙮𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙨:

He said to me (to me)
That I don't wanna think about it (think about it, 'bout it)
Just tell me what can I say?

"Koki, Koki, Koki"
Chant 
"Koki, Koki, Koki"
Why?

He said
That I don't wanna think about it

He said to me (to me)
That I don't wanna think about it (think about it, 'bout it)
Just tell me what can I say to make it go away
He says the Koki Chant can promise better days
(says the Koki Chant can promise better days)

I don't want my chance to go away
I could see it, feel it, but I cannot reach it
I could watch the day slowly pass me by, but I
I don't wanna waste my time (waste my time)

I don't see the reason to wait out these awful days
He said,
"We don't need a reason to weigh on these awful days"

(I don't want my chance)
(to go away)

He said to me
That I don't wanna think about it
Just tell me what can I say?

"Koki, Koki, Koki"
Chant 
"Koki, Koki, Koki"

••► ABOUT THE EP

I've had the idea of releasing a Color Bass EP for a while now, but I've always struggled with it because making Color Bass is painful to me for reasons. I hoping this will be my last time making Color Bass.

Ethereal is a track I started with the EP in mind, I don't have much to say about it, despite it being one of my favorite tracks in the EP.

Prism Beam is the track that started this EP. I had a random melody and progression idea and I wrote it down. Decided to try making Color Bass with it to try some mixing tricks out, and I ended up liking it. With that and Letting Go in mind, I thought I could make the EP a reality.

Scintillate is the last track I made with the EP in mind. I really wanted to make use of the "Anime Canon" progression, which is like an extended version of a progression I use often, which I call "extended Royal Road" progression, which is just Royal Road progression with a resolution.

Letting Go is a track I started in January 7, 2020, as part of a different EP. I've submitted the first version finished in February 2020 to many places, but no one was interested in it. Even fellow producers didn't care about it at all, which made me really sad since at the time it was the track I was the most proud of. I remade the track 1 or 2 more times and got the same disappointing results. I had to finish that track, or at least the main melody which I really like, so I remade it a 2nd or 3rd time for this EP. It used to be called Celestial, then Falling Stars. Now I call it Letting Go. The theme may be a little different from the other tracks, but seemed perfect with this track and my feelings towards Color Bass.
I used to think Color Bass was logically the best genre for me, but after so much suffering, I'm finally letting go. I'm going to focus on things that truly make me happy.

Anyway, if you've been following me for Color Bass, I hope you stay for my future projects. I got more good things coming, even if it's not exactly Color Bass ^w^

i like you a lot too! (SI-FI Re-work)

Collapse / Expand isn't a concept EP, but it is aptly named. Each of these songs survived multiple, heavy reworks and they landed where they are now. The title also comes from the fact that a lot of things seem to be ending or beginning or growing.

Lyrics:
Tracing the lines on my hand
Repair the holes in my vision
Are these misfires in my head
The human condition 

Been wading in standing water
Likely exposed for too long
My body is unresponsive
My god just tell me what's wrong

Don't know if this state is a threat
Can't fight with no wall on my back
Where's all of the flashing lights
Helping me stay on track

Follow the heart, follow the head
both screaming out, pick me instead
Wish I could out this to bed

Lately I'm leaving
Half empty handed
My company is telling me that we've disbanded
Can't say I blame 'em
I've been an asshole
I'd try to salvage it
buy it's not worth the hassle
I'm stuck in idle
Can't start engine
Slowly accepting
I can't hold my own attention
It might be too late
To save the embers 
I killed the passion
when tried to kill the temper

A civilized moment to think
Try not to spend it alone
Do anything in my power
To keep me off my phone

These 28 years have taught me
Secrets about myself
No longer can justify
throwing away my health

I am repeat behavior
slave to my tendencies
Waiting for system failure
To put me on my knees

This foregone conclusion
It's too predictable
One of these days will be fatal

Lately I'm leaving
Half empty handed
My company is telling me that we've disbanded
Can't say I blame 'em
I've been an asshole
I'd try to salvage it
buy it's not worth the hassle
I'm stuck in idle
Can't start engine
Slowly accepting
I can't hold my own attention
It might be too late
To save the embers 
I killed the passion
when tried to kill the temper


Leave while you have time
Before I change my mind
You should save yourself while you still have time
Before I change my mind

On February 6th, 2021, over 800 unique artists came together to create a single charity compilation in 24 hours. Taking advantage of the fact that this would be the only FORM All Nighter event of the year, each participant went all-out. 45 of the most stellar tracks were hand-picked to create an album that’s phenomenal front-to-back— from math rock, to gritty electronic, to chiptune.

All Nighter Vol. 6 is a reflection of creativity, teamwork, and the sleepless delusion that comes with staying up all night— but most of all, it’s a reflection of our community. We couldn't ask for a better one.

All profits from All Nighter Vol. 6 will be donated to Prevent Child Abuse America.

Lyrics:

Hey it’s nice to meet you
I just crashed here all alone
Traveled through the milky way
Just to find a sense of home

I’ve been waiting a long time to feel this way
Take my hand and we’ll travel the world we made
I’ve been searching for you for so long
At the speed of light into the stars!

I see a world for you and me 
A place that we can’t see
Not afraid of who we are
At the speed of light into the stars!

At the speed of light into the stars!

I see a world for you and me 
A place that we can’t see
Not afraid of who we are
At the speed of light into the stars!

I see a world for you and me 
A place that we can’t see
Not afraid of who we are
At the speed of light into the stars!

I see a world for you and me 
A place that we can’t see
Not afraid of who we are
At the speed of light into the stars!
