album out now-https://moodexhibit.bandcamp.com/album/mood-exhibit-yikii
First collaboration with the wonderful and talented Yikii: https://soundcloud.com/yikii

Marshmallow and blue lake
Everything is gently sinking
The sky below the earth’s surface
slimy and fragile sadness

How to discard everything you have
How to destroy everything you love

The air ’s taste is cotton candy
blue lake reflects thin figure
Something is getting worse
In the unquenchable deterioration

Please hold my hand tightly

Let's stop crying

Light gray wasteland
The forgotten things bloomed like flowers
Full of thorn garden
At the foot of the sea of blood

Under this bright moonlight
we are Locked by lonely chain
the ankle is full of scar
but no tears flow

Floating to the sky
all unreal things
Sludge flows down the fingertips
Our tears are sludge

Noisy streets
the Phantom is more magnificent now
Dolls beat the drums and singing songs
they all cut its own head

Yikii- vocals, story, lyrics
Mood Exhibit- music composition

3rd Collaboration with the wonderful and talented Yikii-https://soundcloud.com/yikii

All Creatures great, all creatures small
They need not worry about their downfall 
All Creatures great, all creatures small
I envy their ignorance about it all 

Noble beasts unaware
Noble beasts without a care
Do your job and exist
striving to persist

Oh heavenly creatures rejoice your simple life!
Oh heavenly creatures rejoice your simple life!

(but always remember you are at our mercy)

We fear, we plan, we agonize our fate
I want to be in a blissfully ignorant state
We fear, we plan, we agonize our fate
I'd rather eat, sleep, and fornicate

EAT, SLEEP, AND FORNICATE
EAT, SLEEP, AND FORNICATE
EAT, SLEEP, AND FORNICATE
EAT, SLEEP, AND FORNICATE

Mood Exhibit- music composition. animal sounds, lyrics
Yikii- vocals, vocal melody
(sincere thank you to Yikii for taking time from her raising kittens to sing on this strange song):D

Lyrics 

I'm locked in a universe of ice.
Stuck in my thoughts.

In oblivion.
In the cold

I'm locked in a empty spaces
Stuck in my thoughts.

In a solar system prison.
In oblivion.
In the cold

TIME TRAVELLER

the time traveller
i want to
go home

i don’t want to go
far away

i just want to go
back to where
I know the way

places familiar
people i love

why aren’t they
here today

did i run too far away?

can’t I trace my steps
to yesterday?
tell them not to look away?

i could run
but I’d still be here

cities rise and cities fall
i could walk them all

but what i want is a home
all these places i go
i can’t stop
i don’t know
how they live as they do

i want a home
to come home to.

i want a bed I can sleep in
and dream
a life of my own.

a home to come to.

a dream i can dream
on my own
i want a home
dream a life of my own.

a home to come home to
why aren’t they
here today
(standing beside me,
holding me back
from the waves i go into
over my head
what have I come to
where will i run to?

Arc Voyager 25 https://soundcloud.com/voyager47 is the master of outer space psytrance. He has a very intriguing and distinctive trance style, which uses planetary tempos and frequencies. He asked me to jam my instruments with his track Quadrant Aspect. So I entered it with parmupill and dan moi. Then Voy made the final mix using my recordings. Here's the result, our third collab track. 
Thank you for listening.

Here are the visuals made by Voy www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfhSI2AVwFw Feel free to check his other wonderful visual works from his YouTube channel as well.

Lyrics:

If we're not one then let's be water,
If we're not flowing we're not real.
I love your colour when you falter,
You're glowing sapphire in the steel.

Step out your world and drape it round me,
I'll slide my arms through what's undone.
We are the could and would and should be,
Where rivers blush under the sun.
Where rivers blush under the sun.

And be that as it may, still, still...
There's something inexplicable
In finding all of me could be all of you.

Just for a while, don't speak.
Just for a while, don't speak.
Just for a while, don't speak
And listen...

I lost the girl in me but caught her,
Your boy was tired of everyone.
They bound together in the water
And shimmered silver in the sun.

If We're Not One Then Let's Be Water (Nic Evennett and Classical Glass as Cellar Door)

still life

«Sono nelle loro mani.
Il loro controllo ormai interessa
l’intero pianeta.
Non ho più azioni mie
ma solo quelle che loro m’impongono
attraverso il controllo.
Nessuno è riuscito a convincermi
che non sia così.
Non ne posso più.
Vi pentirete di stare mani nelle mani.
Devo fare qualcosa.»
(Tanti e Tanti)

Encounters with the ineffable.
The dormant roused.
Openness, observation, questioning, humility, sincerity.
Re-imagining the known, that which is untapped, all that was concealed.
Pathways to wholeness unearthed.
Meeting of truest self.  
Temporal versus infinite.

The fallout.

Sudden disintegration, falling away, continuity shattered.  
Facade ruptured, persona released, identity laid bare, history withdrawn.

Appearance of no-thing-ness.

Pregnant with possibilities, birth out of chaos, mystery unfolds.  
Healing through anguish, renewal through trauma.
Newborn imaginings.

Accept the summons.

Chapters of lucidity, adventures in clarity.
Alignment in harmony.
All encompassing.
Reorientation emerges, subsequent renewal, transcendent insights, enlightened revelations.
Surrender reached, acceptance embraced, liberation appears.

Transmutation.

Solemn symbols of gratitude.
New found depth of meaning, of understanding, of moving, of seeing.
Beyond mental illusion, unifying as nature, expression of stillness.
Vision of the undivided, transmission of wisdom.

Flowering into being.
