Not so long ago, I had the great pleasure of meeting actress, singer and former idol, Mori Megumi. She was so lovely, full of liveliness and so much joy that then inspired me to compose this piece. I hope you enjoy it.

Transitioning

Your role as a listener holds more importance than you might think. As artists, we often wade through the uncertainties that come with making choices and pursuing different paths. Even when we reach milestones, we’re still left asking questions about our journey.

In our latest track, we’ve woven together a vibrant mix of elements and artistic twists, particularly with our use of frequency bends. This creative approach, with its forward and backward shifts....especially in the final sections, it has definitely stretched our editing process. However, we’ve been hesitant to put it out there, eager to share it in a way that truly honors its essence.

You, our dear SoundCloud listeners, are at the heart of our community. We aim to present our best work here, guided by the timeless ideals of craftsmanship—where passion fuels quality. Each track is filled with love, the vital ingredient we believe is essential for making something truly impactful.

We see our songs as reflections of ourselves, with unique personalities that can sometimes clash but ultimately enrich the music. One particular piece was intended for collaboration with an unknown artist. With that partnership never materializing, we’re left wondering about the intrinsic value of this track. Does it have qualities worth sharing? Should we allow others to reinterpret it, or let it slip away unnoticed?

Your engagement as listeners plays a crucial role in this decision. Your connection to our music is irreplaceable, and we genuinely welcome your feedback. We invite you to listen to this unfinished piece, titled "Lumin," and share your thoughts. Your insights are not just valued; they are essential for our growth as artists.

Quand la nuit nous enlace
Le silence en témoigne
Le temps ralentit
Nos âmes se rejoignent
Et si le jour devait tout effacer
Que ton regard reste à mes côtés

"Vampire 2-1... this is Vampire Lead."

“I’m here to support you while you survey the area.”

From my vantage point, I gaze out at the landscape, much of its ancient history buried beneath layers of shifting sand.

Legends tell of a once-great kingdom lost in this barren expanse. Agade, a brilliant jewel among empires, where a wise ruler named Naram-Sin knew that true strength comes from kindness.

As our bird hovers over rugged canyons and crumbling ruins, I can almost envision the magnificence that once reached for the sky. The deep, resonant bass pulses like the whispers of ages past.

In a rhythmic flow, we aim to grasp the vision of towering ziggurats striving for the heavens, while lively streets buzzed with scholars and artists from every corner, all united in their pursuit of wisdom.

Under Naram-Sin's leadership, it was knowledge, not conquest, that became Agade's greatest asset. Its renown spread through the exchange of ideas, not by military triumph.

Yet, as the poets softly remind us, nothing beloved lasts forever. Over the years, the unyielding advance of war and decay eroded Agade's walls, a truth echoing like a haunting tune in the background.

Still, perhaps the spirit of Naram-Sin lingers in this land, reminding us of the power of creativity over conflict. It teaches that when leaders champion innovation over aggression, even the toughest landscapes can flourish.

So let’s share with anyone willing to listen how compassion, paired with wisdom, can elevate a land to greatness.

"Vampire 2-1, you are clear to scout ahead." The radio crackles, “Watch those dunes!”

I ponder that history has left us clues—if only we’re ready to see them.

"Vampire Lead, signing off."

As I scan the terrain, I notice a half-buried archway peeking out from the sand about two kilometers to the north. In about an hour, we’ll land and explore it on foot.

According to my maps, this is the remnant of the Ishtar Gate, once the grand entrance to Babylon in all its glory.

They say King Nebuchadnezzar decorated it with vibrant blue glazed bricks.

Interesting…

It's a reminder that any kingdom too enamored with its own radiance may ultimately blind itself.

Agade III - (Final Approach Mix)

"Conceptual Tranquillity" is a beautiful piece that encourages listeners to pause and savor a moment of calm reflection. It acts as a soothing escape from the noise and hustle of daily life, providing a comforting space where one can discover peace and clarity.

Right from the start, this composition takes a thoughtful approach. Its soft, gentle melodies create a relaxing atmosphere, inviting you on a journey of introspection. The music flows gracefully, instilling a sense of openness and tranquility.

As you listen, delicate tunes intertwine gracefully, like gentle breaths of calm that lead you deeper into your thoughts. Every note is carefully chosen to foster a serene environment, allowing your mind the freedom to wander and delve into its own complexities.

Throughout "Conceptual Tranquillity," simplicity reigns. It embraces a minimalist style that highlights the effectiveness of subtlety, enhancing your ability to be fully present. This intentional design allows listeners to dive deeply into their experience, fully engaging with the music.

The connection between "Conceptual Tranquillity" and "Escaping Reality" becomes clear as both offer a reprieve from life’s pressures. While "Escaping Reality" sweeps you away on a thrilling adventure, "Conceptual Tranquillity" creates a peaceful sanctuary for self-exploration and contemplation.

Embracing the serene beauty of "Conceptual Tranquillity," listeners can find themselves in a tranquil space, where they can reconnect with themselves and find rejuvenation in the gentle embrace of the music.

Conceptual Tranquility

The series of clicks, pops, and various sounds you hear are all intentional elements of this intriguing auditory landscape. This soundscape serves to convey a powerful signal.

Deep in a remote section of the universe, during an ancient epoch that has long since faded from memory, an extraordinary explosion erupted, illuminating the darkened heavens and shaping the very fabric of reality.

Embedded within the final messages of the now-broken star, a lone signal burst forth, carrying a cryptic message whose meaning remained elusive yet held the promise of profound revelations waiting to be uncovered in the future.

Thus began its endless and eventful expedition through the vast and boundless void of the cosmos.

As time unfolded, stretching across countless eons, galaxies waxed and waned, coming into existence only to vanish into the depths of oblivion, while the signal tirelessly continued its journey, navigating through uncharted and unknown territories.

It bore witness to magnificent celestial displays, where radiant stars blossomed with dazzling intensity, cosmic clusters engaged in graceful collisions, and black holes flared to life before diminishing into the cosmic shadows.

Amid these breathtaking scenes, the mysterious signal observed the birth of nebulous wonders, laying the groundwork for the emergence of life in this ever-shifting cosmic landscape.

Over the course of history, civilizations arose and then vanished, their existence so ephemeral that the signal barely managed to register their passing. Undaunted, it pressed onward through the void, carrying valuable insights and knowledge as it crossed barren terrains and nascent realms teeming with hidden activities that eluded its constant attention. Should an ingenious mind manage to synchronize with its frequency, the vast array of possibilities for what might be achieved remains immense and deeply contemplative.

As time flowed onward, seasons metamorphosed, and solar systems flickered out of existence while fresh ones ignited for brief moments against the backdrop of the eternal night that this persistent messenger traversed. With determination, it continued its voyage, journeying through the vast expanses and ever-unfolding wonders of the universe, accumulating more glimpses of time and space than could ever be comprehended by countless extinct species combined.

It may be that, in some fortunate twist of fate, its uniquely encoded message will one day intersect with a receiver designed to unravel its enigmatic truths.

Yet, until that momentous occasion arrives, the signal remains steadfast in its eternal journey across an unfathomable cosmos, serving as a silent witness to innumerable hidden truths.

Its origins and ultimate endpoint remain shrouded in the ageless tapestry of the universe, but its voyage, much like the stars that inhabit the night sky, will continue on toward eternal existence.

Deeep Inside - The Transmitter Mix

In the midst of darkness, Vampire 4, now reunited with his brethren the fireteam, sought solace and rest, their weary bodies yearning for a moment of respite. 

Shoulders burdened by fatigue, they found refuge in a defensible position, seeking safety and a chance to recharge.

Despite their weariness, they remained alert, their senses sharp and their vigilance unwavering. Each member took turns to rest, their watchful eyes never straying from the shadows that surrounded them.

Under the cloak of night, a profound silence enveloped the team. Moments of quiet introspection were shared, their voices hushed yet filled with a resolute determination. 


Encouraging words flowed naturally, strengthening their bond and forming an unbreakable shield against the challenges they would face.

As the first light of dawn painted the sky with hues of gold, the fireteam emerged from their shelter. Their spirits were renewed, and their resolve unshakable. 

They discarded the remnants of the sandstorm, a testament to their resilience, and embraced the obstacles that awaited them with unwavering courage.

Time, a precious and fleeting resource, urged them into action. They wasted no moments, propelling themselves forward with a steadfast determination. Each step carried the weight of their purpose, driving them closer to the fulfillment of their mission.

With hearts unyielding and commitment unwavering, the fireteam pressed onward. 


Their footsteps echoed with the shared resolve that the darkness of the night had nurtured within them. As they ventured into the unknown, they carried the indomitable spirit forged through unity in the face of adversity.

Behind the jam:

The last track ever produced by Keith and Sven, a melancholic song about reflection. How ironic, it would be the last song we would produce together.

Nightfall

Written and spoken by Keith Alban
This song truly shines when you listen to it through headphones. I imagined myself walking around you, with my voice weaving in and out, flowing from left to right and front to back.
_________________________________________________

"A trip thru white noise and burning cinders. 

Come to the crystal garden where the sun glows... like yesterday’s memories. 

Inhale in the fresh air. Run your fingers through the wet grass, as you scan the crimson perspective. For when I want to run away…that I dive off of realities cliff into this world that breaks my fall. 

In this world, there are no predators, there are no threatening creatures. The balance is held..... by the transparency itself.

Denying access to the conventional…only those who have never stopped imagining can come here.


Listen carefully;

I want you to close your eyes, (to trigger the portal.) Do you see the plasma?


(Do you see the plasma?)

Chase it.... into the never-ending form.



Let the visuals channel you into a deep peaceful abstraction. 
Once the door is wide open, you will notice the tumbler rolling back. Breaching the gateway, for you to step in, without your self-importance, and without your language, I invite you to enter this tranquil field. 


Allow the atmosphere time enough to overwhelm your senses. Have the discipline to process your consciousness slowly. 


Can you smell the light rain? Do the traces of jasmine in the air delight your nose? 

Listen in as the stream rushes over the riverbed’s prehistoric stones. 

Sense the continuation of 100,000 year old vegetation…and just know that before you even open your eyes, 

this is the most spectacular place

 you have ever seen."

The Never Ending Form (Spoken Text, In Description) - Final Remaster

Welcome to the BrainStorm Experience. 

This is where our music has  become our devotion, where story and sound entwine as one living entity. 

Each track is a untold story, until now, carrying fragments of emotion across the threshold between you and something beyond the ordinary. 

Beneath the surface, quiet truths wait to be found, revealed not through words alone, but through feeling. 

We offer notes and timestamps only as constellations to help you navigate, though the meaning is yours to uncover.

What you see is as vital as what you hear. 

The screen before you transforms into a mirror of the music’s soul, a shifting, breathing gallery that reflects tone, motion, and memory. 

Each image pulses with the same essence that lives within the melodies, inviting you to reflect, to drift, to become part of its rhythm.

For the truest experience, we suggest listening through headphones.

They awaken the subtle layers that dwell beneath the surface, where whispered harmonies, faint textures, and unseen details wait to be heard. 

In that space between sound and silence, time begins to dissolve, and the world grows distant.

BrainStorm Operations exists to offer more than sound. It is a refuge, a sanctuary carved from serenity, designed to bring stillness to the mind and warmth to the soul. 

Across more than ten hours of carefully woven music and vision, we extend a hand into the quiet , a moment to simply exist and feel.

If you are here, it's not an accident. Your presence completes the circle. 

Settle into the stillness, surrender to what stirs within, and let the music find you. 

This is where the journey begins.

Warm regards from the flightdeck,

Keith Alban, (and formerly Sven Klitsch)

*Disclaimer*  

I must acknowledge the fantastic source of my artwork: Desktopography - desktopography.net/. I am also a part of three art collectives: Desktopography, depthCORE, and EvokeONE, where I have served as the music director.  

I have been fortunate enough to use their incredible works in this format. The heart of this experience lies in the stunning artwork contributed by the talented artists from all three collectives, lending a unique charm and beauty to the BrainStorm visual treasure.
