They All Know

Tucked away in the enchanting mangrove forest is a hidden gem like no other. Shrouded by thick trees and twisted roots, the Secret Garden is a digital wonder that thrives in ways we can only imagine, captivating everyone lucky enough to experience its stunning beauty. 

This garden is a thoughtful blend of nature and technology, showcasing an incredible display. Lush green ferns intertwine with sparkling holographic flowers, creating a captivating mix of the natural and the digital.

Despite its charm, the identity of the garden's creator remains a mystery, sparking whispers throughout the forest about the true origin of this peaceful retreat. Some think it’s the work of a brilliant recluse, while others weave tales of ancient spirits bestowing their magic upon this digital oasis.

What truly puzzles visitors is the garden’s mysterious energy source. There are no visible wires or generators hidden among the mangroves, making the whole experience even more awe-inspiring. It feels almost as if the garden draws power straight from the atmosphere, leading to speculation about a hidden energy within the forest.

The truth about this place remains shrouded in mystery, tucked away deep in the heart of the mangrove forest. The Secret Garden is a striking example of how nature and technology can harmoniously coexist, drawing in those brave enough to explore its depths. It offers a sense of peace and wonder to anyone looking to escape the chaos of life outside.

Beyond its enchanting beauty, the Secret Garden reminds us that we can find harmony and elegance in the most unexpected of settings. It invites us to embrace the unknown and cherish the intricate dance between the natural and the man-made.

So, the Secret Garden continues to exist within the lush mangrove landscape, a peaceful sanctuary where the digital meets the delightful. The identity of its creator remains a mystery, allowing the garden to enchant and inspire all who stumble upon its breathtaking floral display.

Secret Garden

An allegory about seeing for the first time what's always been in front of our eyes ...  Timed with the celestial occultation

cheers for having a listen


i think it's time you have to go
but i think you knew this long ago
it happens to the best of us, cast aside and left to rust
you know thats just the way

then the realisation's taken hold 
you been left out in the cold
frozen out the welcome mat, took away and not put back
you know thats just the way

you made your peace now with your past
except some things aren't meant to last
everyone will tell you you'll get through
keep keeping on thats all you do
cos it's the only way

where would you go what would you do
there's a big old world in front of you
and it's hurtin now more than before, through heavens gate to the devils door
you know we lost our way

take a seat it won't be long, all the pain will soon be gone
you know thats just the way
make your mind up right or wrong, the way we're going it won't be long
thats the way

Thats The Way

Lyrics:

strip it down and see
what is left of me
everything i am
everything i've become
is because of you
'cause i once, i loved you
now, now i'm separated
now, now i'm broken
'cause i loved

connect the wires
hear me cry out
in the silence of the dark
there is a monster inside
taking hold of everything that i am
every breath that i take
every sound that i

swinging here to
holding on to
swinging here to
felt it in my bones
shadows growing cold
emptiness, isolation
the ghost, you have become
the ghost

children of the stars
shining bright

When the evening comes
And the sun is down
Let your shoulders loose 
Wipe away your frown

For today was a good one
Some sadness and tears
Know at this moment
Stood up to my fears

And when you think it’s the last time 
Know it wont be long
Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

Might never know the reason
Or why it’s like this
All I know
It’s the life that I’ll miss

And when you think it’s the last time 
Know it wont be long
Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

 When you think it’s the last time 
Know it wont be long

Till I see you again

Till I see you again

Till I see you again

This ain’t really a song

This Ain’t Really A Song

purposely like a reel or a short or any of that highly addictive short duration media which is really effecting people's attention spans

I wrote it after having a cool chat about song length with some other artists

Song from Wastedland I

Cançó de comiat

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)

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.
