Lyrics:

Just a fleeting moment of infinity
I stand enchanted lost in the view.
The crescent moon softly grins
As you fade into the shadows.
... And then the dark
... And then the dark.

A tranquil silent instant lingers
A frozen memory carved in the air.
Tears distort the world before me
Eyes like sunken wrecks below.
... And then the dark
... And then the dark.

Just a scratch across eternity
I stand frozen watching still.
The dawn like a silent film
Reveals the story of your vanishing.
... And then the dark
... And then the dark.

A tranquil silent instant lingers
A frozen memory carved in the air.
Tears distort the world before me
Eyes like sunken wrecks below.
... And then the dark
... And then the dark.

... And then the Dark

So here is my first collection of songs. I probably re-recorded the same album 3 different times before cutting it down to a 4-track EP with the best versions. Track 3 is a hangover from the version of the album I recorded without bass guitar - before realising the bass should definitely go back in. All it took was a very experimental live performance with my deluge. I should also probably list equipment used:

Fender Jazz Bass
Synthstrom Deluge
Korg Volca Keys
Zoom R16 for demoing and some recording
Ableton
A shit ton of effects pedals that I am too lazy to list now, but the bass is octaved, chorused, and reverbed, and the volca ended up going through the vocal performer, Eventide mixing link lets you put vocals through guitar pedals, and it was ultimately a Shure SM58 microphone despite having a good ribbon mic. I reserve the right to overtly process and edit vocal takes to save time. If you feel like supporting my band then please do so, and make your way to bandcamp or similar. Album art is a photo from my second ever gig Oct 2024, so cheers to Mark for that. 

P.S I am a one man band from Aberdeen, Scotland. Aber wenn Sie auf Deutsch kommunizieren möchten, ist das gut möglich. Greek will take another few years.

Now Or Never

Your  ringing words pulls me in
They make me want to dive in
But still something don't stick in
And i can't stand this shape of sin

I hearyour words dressed in gold
But deep inside they feel cold
Your lies are sweet
Your mask bright
But i will tear it down to end this fight

Sometimes i would like to feel more love for my sieblings 
But any time i try it feels so sad, it feels so cold 
Sometimes i would like to feel more love for my sieblings 
But those times i don't want to see nobody
It's much too bold

To shield your heart and wear the crown
You break beauty, burn it down
Led by fear you tear it all
Destroy the dream to avoid his fall

Your vibrant words are led astray
They don't stick into your shade
I can see them vode to fail 
As soon as your ardour will fade

Sometimes i would like to feel more love for my sieblings 
But any time i try it feels so sad, it feels so cold 
Sometimes i would like to feel more love for my sieblings 
But those times i don't want to see nobody
It's much too bold

Sometimes

Lyrics:
There’s something amiss
There’s something not right
There’s something amiss
There’s something not…
Why should it be this way?
Clear as a cloudy day
Piece of the puzzle appears
Run…it’s the worst of fears
There’s something amiss
There’s something not right
Fear…lives
There’s something amiss
There’s something not…
Why does it end this way?
Dark as a stormy day
There’s something amiss
There's something amiss

Something Amiss

Deliverance

your lies are real

The Gnossienne is mysterious by design, coined by Erik Satie himself without a clear precedent in musical terminology. It likely plays on the Greek island of Knossos, seat of the myth of the labyrinth and the Minotaur, and hints at ritualistic or archaic dances. At the same time, the invented word resists precise definition, much like the music itself, which drifts outside the conventions of classical forms and time signatures. By naming the piece this way, Satie gives it an otherworldly, timeless quality—suggesting something half-remembered, half-imagined, and not fully bound to the traditions of his age. It becomes less a composition in the strict sense and more a fragment of a lost ritual, a soundscape hovering between antiquity and modernity.
