Nestled in the northeastern region of Washington State, Penrith serves as the backdrop for the formative teenage years of Keith. Formerly known as Penrith Farms.

This place spans 220 odd acres with the true origin of the Little Spokane River as its scenic backdrop. As you come into P1, parking lot, there is a waterfall and a year-round pond nourished by the pure waters of multiple natural Atesian springs. (fun fact: Where the springs are located, there is deep purple seaweed growing in abundance.) 

It reflects the serenity and harmony that permeate the landscape, inviting you to immerse yourself in the splendor of nature. 

The centerpiece of Penrith is P1. The majestic lodge stands proudly with its vaulted ceilings, wood fireplace, and views that showcase the beauty of the surroundings.  

It serves as a sanctuary where one can find solace and inspiration, connecting with the essence of the land.  Surrounding the lodge, various out-buildings and cabins add to the charm and versatility of this exceptional property.  Each structure holds its own story.  (trust me, there are 1000's)

Penrith embodies nature's beauty. It is a place where one can escape the hectic pace of modern life and rediscover the simplicity and tranquility that the land offers.

The song Penrith captures the essence of this remarkable and magical location. 

The music weaves together elements that reflect the grandeur of the landscape and the spirit of adventure that one can feel in the air. during the cold fall mornings. 

From the vastness of the property to the gentle beat that mirrors the serenity of the pond, the song paints an auditory portrait of the Penrith experience. 

Join us on a musical journey as we celebrate Penrith, a place where dreams take flight and the possibilities are endless. Let the music transport you to this idyllic corner of the world, where nature's beauty and the allure of BrainStorm's music converge.

Jim and Sherry Brewster, may you know.... you shaped so many of us for the light. 

Growing up to become the musician that I have become, wouldn’t have been a thing had I not gone to Penrith. For it is here that the keyboardist from the Greg Khin Band (my love’s in Jeopardy, baaby ooooooooh-ooohoooo)    Would help raise me and guide my fire towards the music.  He would let me sit in his sunlit log cabin living room and pick apart the vinyl collection and he explained so much about music to me.

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.

Over the pandemic lockdowns I started to dedicate a lot of my time to learning how to master my own music as well as improving my production and mixing skills. Still not very good at it but I nevertheless love the creative process. The main reason for sharing these projects on here is getting feedback from others who aren't as limited as I currently am when it comes to monitoring (as the most difficult and frustrating part for me so far has been getting tracks to translate well across other systems).

I do not have an acoustically treated space or access to a studio. All the production, mixing and mastering is done on my laptop with the latest version of FL Studio, some FabFilter plug-ins (among others), an old pair of AKG K702s (Monitoring low-end on these is a nightmare as there's a near 5db drop-off in freq. response at around 100hz and lower so I have to use an EQ correction curve) and an old pair of Numark monitors.

I've been working with quite a backlog of projects from 2019 onwards that I want to upload once ready and, since I have a limitation of 180mins, i'm only going to be uploading previews to try and save on space and make sure I can upload as many as I can.

** The numbers in the descriptions aren't release catalogue numbers but just a way I organized the projects I've been using as practice for mixing and mastering.

A nerd from the 80s, I love all genres of music but right now am experimenting with electronic sounds.
