[S2E4 PART 1 - VOTE NOW!] tears upon the lunar sea

Spider Pig.

The Sea Waits (Requiem Jam) is the requiem of Atlantis — the calm after the cataclysm, where the ocean becomes both witness and healer. It captures the eternal rhythm that continues long after the machines have gone silent.

This piece drifts between the realms of chaos and meditation, fusing psychedelic improvisation, world rhythms, and ambient soundscapes. It’s the voice of the sea reclaiming creation — the reminder that even after destruction, life and spirit persist in the pulse of the deep.

In the mythos of AI Destroyed Atlantis, this is the final breath — where technology, pride, and power sink beneath the waves, and only reflection remains. The ocean hums its eternal song, whispering to the next dreamer:

“The sea waits… it always has.”

While our catalog is primarily AI Assisted, Pick’s Hideaway Players is actively creating songs designed for collaboration with real musicians and live talent.
Each composition begins through AI-assisted composition and arrangement, but our goal is to bring these songs to life through authentic performance and local artistry.

Due to the scope and complexity of our catalog, not every track will have a live or studio-musician version.
However, wherever possible, we will continue to produce and release live musician interpretations of our core works — honoring both the technology that inspires them and the human spirit that completes them.

“AI builds the blueprint. Musicians bring the soul.”

The Sea Waits (Requiem Jam)

Something Awful has found its away into the tournament. In the earlier years of meme culture, the feared Zalgo enjoyed corrupting comics and forums, twisting them into disturbing content. However, as users grew I̷͗̆G̴͍̊N̷̐̐Ō̶͂R̵̎͘A̶̐͝N̴̼͠T̵̑̓ and less afraid of Zalgo's abilities, It slowly lost notoriety, and without the ability to spread panic, Zalgo itself could no longer spread. Zalgo spent its last days in a Garfield comic, as it saw Garfield's lethargic nature as a retirement plan of sorts. As Zalgo's abilities festered within the comic, it slowly began to twist into something awful. The remains of Zalgo eventually infused with the lazy cat, birthing Gorefield.
As Gorefield gained notoriety, Zalgo was born again, now one with the entity it used to rest. Please welcome Zalgar to Temporary Flight Attendant!
