Name: Not Asking by Athen Tobias in Aftermath
Duration: 3 min 13 s
Description: This song is the tribute to Athen, my cat who was by my side for 17 years. It isn’t about putting everything into words, but about the presence he carried, quiet, steady, never asking for anything. I loved being alone, but I wasn’t lonely until he was gone. This track holds the small moments of memory, the routines, and the weight of absence that made alone feel different.

Aftermath

مشکلم بخت بد و تلخی ایام نیست/ مشکلم پوشوندن پینه دستام نیست/
 مشکلم نون نیست آب نیست برق نیست/ مشکلم شکستن طلسم تنهاییست/عاشقونست یک روزی هم حل میشه یا که از بارش زانوی من خم میشه
 زنهار زنهار
 که من باد میشم میرم تو موهات حرف میشم میرم تو گوشات فکر میشم میرم تو کلت 
من بنز میشم میرم زیر پات فقر میشم میرم تو جیبات گرگ میشم میرم تو گلت
 هی
 صد تا طرفدار داری همه تو رو دوست دارن و ذهن گرفتار داری/ دمتم گرم دمتم گرم دمتم گرم 
نزدیک میشم دور میشم بلکه مقبول در این راه پر از استرس و وصله ناجور بشم اینه
 قصم اینه قصم اینه قصم 
من برق میشم میرم تو چشمات /اشک میشم میرم رو گونت/ زلف میشم میام رو شونت
 من باد میشم میرم تو موهات /سیگار میشم میرم رو لبهات/ دود میشم میرم تو ریه ات
 ای بخت سراغ من بیا که رختخواب من با این خیال خامم گرم نمیشه ای بخت سراغ من بیا که رختخواب من با این خیال خامم گرم نمیشه ای بخت سراغ من بیا که رختخواب من با این خیال خامم گرم نمیشه 
بی دلیل اسرارم و هی داد زدم ، هی داد زدم 
بی حساب احساسمو فریاد زدم ، فریاد زدم
 حیف از این روزا که من به فاک زدم ، به فاک زدم حیف از این روزا که من به فاک زدم ، به فاک زدم
نزدیک میشم دور میشم بلکه مقبول در این راه پر از استرس و وصله ناجور بشم 
اینه قصم اینه قصم 
 اینه قصم


Pishdaramad-(Prelude)

Invisible

نشود فاش کسی آنچه میان من و توست 
تا اشارات نظر نامه رسان من توست
گوش کن با لب خاموش سخن می گویم 
پاسخم گو به نگاهی که زبان من و توست
روزگاری شد و کس مرد ره عشق ندید
حالیا چشم جهانی نگران من و توست
گرچه در خلوت راز دل ما کس نرسید
همه جا زمزمه عشق نهان من و توست
گو بهار دل و جان باش و خزان باش، ارنه
ای بسا باغ و بهاران که خزارن من و توست
این همه قصه فردوس و تمنای بهشت
گفت و گویی و خیالی ز جهان من و توست
نقش ما گو ننگارند به دیباچه عقل
هرکجا نامه عشق است نشان من و توست
سایه زاتشکده ماست فروغ مه مهر
وه از این آتش روشن که به جان من و توست

سیاه مشق

To Rafti

Astral Echoes invites listeners into a hypnotic 1970s journey across the cosmic landscape of psychedelic blues-rock, merging swirling soundscapes and raw emotional authenticity into a revolutionary musical experience.

Electric Sunrise

This song is about promises that don’t hold, the kind that look solid one day and disappear the next. Dates circled then erased, endings that never feel finished.


Still Deciding

Late is about timing that never lands the way you want it to. Waiting, showing up, and finding out too late it doesn’t matter. It’s the sound of missed time and opportunity and the weight that comes with it.

Late

Meant To Gather is about the kind of gatherings that never should have happened. Moments that looked like joy if you squinted, but underneath were scattered, awkward, and wrong. The song moves on bongo rhythm and chant, carrying the unease of people together but never really together.

Meant to Gather

Bitter Moon is about being away and coming home. It’s about distance, the quiet spaces in between, and leaving the door unlatched as a way of saying I’ll be back soon.

Bitter Moon

This song is about people who come and go from your life. Some leave gently, some vanish without warning, and a few stay. That’s enough. It’s the opening track because it sets that truth right at the start.

Some Still Answer

This song is the tribute to Athen, my cat who was by my side for 17 years. It isn’t about putting everything into words, but about the presence he carried, quiet, steady, never asking for anything. I loved being alone, but I wasn’t lonely until he was gone. This track holds the small moments of memory, the routines, and the weight of absence that made alone feel different.

Steel Heart - She's Gone (Original)

Nared Ze Yadom -Naser Abdollahi

Aftermath is the debut album from Athen Tobias, the musical project of Brisbane-based artist Adam Oriti. Known first as a visual artist, Oriti spent years painting bold abstractions before grief redirected his creative path. In the silence that followed loss, music became the medium to carry what painting no longer could.

The album is both elegy and rebirth. Each track is crafted from original poetry written by Oriti, shaped into song with the aid of AI as a creative tool, not a replacement. The process became a collaboration between human memory and machine possibility, giving form to words that might have otherwise remained on the page.

Athen Tobias is named in honor of Oriti’s late pet, whose memory anchors the project. The music, like his paintings, is made for those who take time to look closer, patient listeners who uncover meaning in the layers.

Aftermath is not a polished pop record but a document of survival. It is an album that rewards attention, an intimate snapshot of an artist transforming grief into sound.
