I love the otherworldy aspect you create with your music. Look forward to hear the vocal version.

I just really like the angles your music keeps taking in your productions. Speaks volumes to my, ahem, magical soul as well. ;D

We wrote this song in January 2021. Lyrics for it are written, but they will be released when the singing version is.

Photo taken by Masha when we visited Melbourne in 2014. Masha: "I always thought the camera's flash in this one looks like I am holding light. I like it. It is also a really good memory of going to PAXAus during that holiday, we met up with a lot of interesting game developers, musicians, and friends we hadn't seen in a while."

One lyrical line we will reveal:
"I wish I could photograph this feeling, this sensation, these passionate feelings and flowing inspiration"

Thank you for the support and for listening. Have a great day.

I did  this over 5 years back with Johnny Hazard (JNY HZD) here on Soundcloud. I never released it on my page so I am doing it now before I forget to again. I re-mastered it and took out a lot of my earlier back-up vocals for a cleaner sound. This is Johnny's great music. It inspired me enough to ask him if I could have a go at lyrics and vocals for it and luckily for me he said yes. Even better luck was had when he said he liked it enough to release it on his page back in 2016/2017. We hope you enjoy it.
If you want to hear some great music, go to the JNY HZD page. He is an exceptional guitarist and composer.

Highway killer

I don’t care about the price of gasoline
I push the pedal to the max
I’m speeding on the left trail and when I see swine
I’m counting on my fast reflex

Out off my way! 
Hear what I say!
Crash into you!

I’m the Highway killer, I’m the Highway killer
The meanest Porsche chiller!

Rolling, rolling over children, mom and dad
Grandma’s rollator was not fast enough
Slow, old pedestrians are driving me so mad
I crush them with a subtle laugh

Out off my way! 
Hear what I say!
Crash into you!

I’m the Highway killer, I’m the Highway killer
The meanest Porsche chiller!

Hunting animals with my radiator-grill
Some trophies hanging on my wall
Who would dare to stop me against my will
I shoot policemen in the head

Out off my way! 
Hear what I say!
Crash into you!

I’m the Highway killer, I’m the Highway killer
The S.U.V. caviller!

Highway Killer

Inspired by Eloy and Yes, this is my first finalized song of the year. It wouldn't be possible without Blessed Studio, Indonesia. More info soon.

Look around
What you see
It is quite another view
What you are
What you'll be
It's the mystery of you

You don't know
Try to find
But you'll never know the truth
There's a lock
On your heart
If you tear this lock apart

You will see
The daybreak rainbows
Waiting for
Showers of your rain
You are not insane
You are not insane
You are not insane

No

Pedestals of greatest minds caught in acid blast
Temples crumble, masses rumble to the Neverlast
Storm is coming, hide you child in your endless dream
Reality is a monster, it ain't what it seems

Crash you down and paint you gray, that's what she would do
But reality is over now, the dream belongs to you
A better life inside your mind, learn to make it real
Heal the masses, let them see, let them live and feel

Someday
I'll find a light there
Inside my soul so blue
I'll find a path that's true
I'll tramp it all the way

Slowly
I'll step inside this
Door to ancient light
Forget the concrete night
And follow to the day

Maybe
You will follow
And you will go my way
All pain will go astray
And we will be as one

I've never thought that I ever write a tango... And here it is, after playing with Valhalla Supermassive plugin it emerged out of nowhere. I hope You'll enjoy listening to it or even try to dance to it, even if it sounds a little apocalyptic ;)

(Piece of) Paradise

Groovin The Moves - Remastered

A boat, beneath a sunny sky
 Lingering onward dreamily
  In an evening of July
   Children three, nestled near
     Eager eye and willing ear
      
       Pleased a simple tale to hear
        Long has paled that sumer sky
         Echos fade and memories die
          Autumn frosts have slain July
           Still she haunts me, phantomwise
            Alice moving under skies
             Never seen by waking eyes
              Children yet the tale to hear
               Eager eye and willing ear
                
                Lovingly shall nestle near
                 In a wonderland they lie
                  Dreaming as the days go by 
                   Dreaming as the summers die
                    Ever drifting down the stream
                     Lingering in that Golden Gleam
                      Life, what is it but a dream

Linger In the Golden Gleam ~ Monaco '66

A song inspired on an article I once read about Aeham Ahmad, the piano player from Yarmouk, Syria, who's piano was burned by IS.  After this he flee from his country and ended up in Germany. He still plays the piano; you can also find him here on SoundCloud!  @aeham_ahmad




DISCONNECTED

I used to feel free
In my beloved country
There was nothing to image 
that could make me want to leave that place
I used to play piano
And sang songs of love and happiness
Now those days are  gone, those lovely days are gone

I am disconnected
disconnected

My piano is destroyed now
They burned out the devil
My piano was executed and I’m sure 
I would be next if I would stay around too long
So I started travelling
Without knowing where to go
I started travelling
I just had to go.

I am disconnected
Disconnected

I’ve travelled by car, by trains and busses
I walked for many hours
While I sat on boat on the endless sea
I thought it never ended
I’ve waited for gates, without food in the rain 
I crossed 9 borders
Now I here and 
I’m disconnected

I’m disconnected
disconnected

Disconnected

Archmage Band was formed in 2013 by Rob Ulysses and Masha Solo, who are a musician couple and synth pop duo based in Australia. 

Big News: We're planning out the follow up to our previous album, 'Realm II [Instrumental Prologue]' and it has a release date of May 15th, 2024 (15/05/2024) but it is all almost done! It is a 20-track album exploring an experimental blend of synth-pop, phonk, gothic synth pop, chiptunes, fantasy and sci fi themes, and is also the soundtrack to our story/game in progress 'Parallel Tales' (as is the previous album).

More about Realm I:
In late 2023 we released a debut 12-track album, as part of the 'Realms' series, 'Realm I [Instrumental Prologue]' on December 12th, 2023 (12/12/2023) We're ecstatic that it's finally finished and we hope you enjoy it. It will be streamable both on Soundcloud and Bandcamp without limits.

Here's our website: http://archmagemusic.com/

Gear:
We use just one synthesizer, the Roland Gaia SH-01, for most of our work, combining it with sounds from Reason Compact and Figure on occasion.

All art by Masha unless stated otherwise on the release.
