Step into a realm of sound, where melodies spring to life, enveloping you in a warm embrace. Slip on your headphones and let the music carry you away on a transformative journey.

We've designed a vibrant soundscape that captures the grace and expansiveness of flight. When you hit the 3:57 mark, brace yourself for a surprise that hits like a .357 Magnum—unexpected and thrilling. Imagine our auditory exploration as the waveforms swirl and shift around you.

Every note brims with our passion and creative vision. By adding an extra beat over eight measures, we push the rhythmic boundaries while respecting the original flow. This deliberate twist mirrors the electrifying force of a tropical downpour, immersing you in its vibrant energy.

As we dive deeper into the piece around the 6:10 mark, get ready for a thrilling shift. The winds grow stronger, and the crashing waves intensify, drawing you further into this auditory adventure. Our aim is to create a presence that is both powerful and captivating.

We’re thrilled to present "Calibre," a collaboration between Keith Alban and @psytraxxmusic. Inspired by the “Chapter” of the DepthCORE artistic guild also named Calibre, we merge our creative expressions. While Sven Klitsch isn’t part of this project, Keith from Miltenberg and Psytraxx from Aschaffenburg combine their distinctive sounds.

This piece also pays homage to the cherished TV show "Airwolf," which had a profound impact on Keith’s upbringing. You’ll find its essence woven throughout the music. Our shared musical journey sets the stage for an exciting experience: "A Trip To Elsewhere Part II."

Stick with us until the very end, where you’ll be greeted by the gentle sound of raindrops falling from leaves, offering a peaceful conclusion to this musical narrative.

We truly hope this collaboration resonates with you, guiding you towards new sonic landscapes. Let’s embark together on this exhilarating musical adventure!

** Sleep Token fans, how did you feel the first time you heard "Sugar"? My reaction was unforgettable after creating this back in the early 2000s!** https://soundcloud.com/sleeptoken/sugar-1?si=0525336e906440d1ac748643ef8c14c0&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

__Behind the scenes__

The journey from "Pre-Calibre" to "Calibre" is a sonic illustration.

From Fragmentation to Cohesion: Individual, somewhat disparate sounds in "Pre-Calibre" evolve into a unified and integrated sonic tapestry in "Calibre."

From Potential to Realization: The nascent musical ideas and potential dualities present in the rougher track are fully explored and realized with greater depth and nuance in the finished version.

From Exploration to Narrative: The searching and experimental feel of "Pre-Calibre" gives way to a more structured and narratively driven sonic experience in "Calibre."

It's like watching a sculptor take raw clay ("Pre-Calibre") and, through careful shaping and refinement, transform it into a detailed and expressive sculpture ("Calibre"). 

The underlying material might be the same, but the final form and the story it tells are vastly different.

Calibre Featuring PsyTraxx (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)
