“Transcendental” is an ambient journey inspired by the Buddhist concept of Sati — the gentle calling back to oneself, the steady return to presence. In a world that constantly pulls us outward, this track serves as a quiet anchor, a moment where the noise dissolves and awareness rises to the surface again.
Soft pads, drifting harmonics, and spacious textures unfold slowly, creating a sonic landscape where time seems to stretch and soften. Each layer is crafted to mirror the process of returning to yourself: first noticing, then settling, and finally resting in clarity. As the music expands, it invites the mind to unclench and the breath to deepen, opening a space where the inner voice becomes unmistakably clear.
“Transcendental” is both a reminder and an invitation — to pause, to breathe, and to reconnect with the moment you’re already in. A mindful call back home, carried on waves of sound meant to soothe, ground, and awaken.

Carl came up with this song at the beginning of November on his acoustic guitar, and shared it with the rest of us shortly after. Carl is a songwriting supernova, in case you're unfamiliar with our newest addition to the team. We're always excited and grateful to get to work on his music. 
  Mark was first to add his parts, although he tweaked them throughout the process. His work can be heard in the dramatic string arrangement and mellotron at the crescendo. Josh was next to jump in, adding his new upright bass to the song. He played not only the plucked part, but the bowed part in the strings section, too. Ken came along next with his perfect drums to complete the rhythm section. JJ wanted in on this, too, so he added the foundational piano you hear throughout. Last, but not least, Stephen dropped in his electrifying guitar solo and the accompanying textural chords using is Danelectro baritone guitar, followed at the very end by his magical e-bow part. 
  Once it was all in the bag, we asked Tez to produce and mix it for us, which he did in his always expert fashion. 
  This is our latest song of which Carl is the author. He's been making music with us for the past half a year now, and we can't get enough of his abundant creativity. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
  Also, Carl had this to say about his lyrics, "Labels and putting each other in a particular box is causing big problems on the planet. The song's meaning is born from trying to take labels out of our lessons. In a polarized world, the song pines how we will likely learn lessons properly if we leave ego out of what we are trying to learn. Maybe our art has more relevance for future generations if we do that instead of bolting it to the current people or ideas causing us problems."
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Let's play cards
You lying runt
Word poker perfect
A joker to hunt
Motor makeup mouth
Dadless brain itched
Orange sith can shout
Cycle of old child bewitched

Leave out the names
Remove their power
Lessons find refrain
Fake turned to flower

All liars die
'As honest tongue
Dinnseanchas signs our true right and wrong
Transmutation
Time understood
Truth trump card for hate
More blossomed love

Leave out the names
Teach tomorrow's hour
Lessons find refrain
Pure honest power

Lies from power
Carry hidden agenda
Justice can save us from these malady members
Unless they break our sacred norms
They've changed the game with iron fisted porn

Leave out the names
Control our stream
Lessons mute ego
Brutes turn to dream

The system protects us from crazy one
One system collective
Agreement by sum
Normals described
Standards of power
Transmutation of evil
Never named gives real flower

Let's label our love
Let's teach that today
Let lessons of dove
Show us our way

Leave out the names
Remove their power
Lessons find refrain
Fake turned to flower

Leave out the names
Teach tomorrow hour
Lessons find refrain
Pure honest power

Leave out the Names (Eclectic Collective)

until dawn

C Fragments

C — the Roman numeral for 100.
A complete measure.
A fixed frame.

C Fragments exists within this order as a sequence of fragments.
Not as a narrative, not as development,
but as a state.

The Roman reference does not stand for power or grandeur,
but for measure, structure, and timelessness.
The fragments remain contained within a closed whole
whose meaning is left open.

Sonically, the piece combines a restrained grand piano
with deep strings, sustained orchestral layers,
subtle percussive elements,
textural sound layers,
and distant choral surfaces.

A very subtly blended female vocal texture from ACE Studio
was added as an additional sonic element —
not as a lead voice and not as a replacement for a real singer,
but purely as a tonal presence within the overall structure.

C Fragments

C — die römische Zahl für 100.
Ein vollständiges Maß.
Ein festgelegter Rahmen.

C Fragments bewegt sich innerhalb dieser Ordnung in Bruchstücken.
Nicht als Erzählung, nicht als Entwicklung,
sondern als Zustand.

Das Römische steht hier nicht für Macht oder Pathos,
sondern für Maß, Struktur und Zeitlosigkeit.
Die Fragmente existieren innerhalb eines geschlossenen Ganzen,
dessen Bedeutung offen bleibt.

Klanglich vereint das Stück ein zurückgenommenes Grand Piano
mit tiefen Streichern, orchestralen Sustains, texturalen Schichten,
dezenten perkussiven Elementen
und weit entfernten Chorflächen.

Eine sehr dezent eingesetzte weibliche Stimmtextur aus ACE Studio
wurde ergänzend hinzugefügt – nicht als Gesang,
sondern als subtile klangliche Präsenz innerhalb der Gesamtstruktur.

C Fragments

Lyrics:
I know why,
You feel so,
Down & out.
Upside down.
Some days we,
Overthink.
Analyze,
Everything.
~~~~~~~
Split in half,
Down the Seam.
You want to,
Dream.
Dream.
Dream if you want to Dream,
It's okay.
~~~~~~~
And yes, we will,
Find our way,
Through the dirt,
And Debris.
~~~~~
When we know,
We will show you how.
Until then,
It's bedtime.
Where the angels await you.
So, rest your wearied mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What did you think,
You would dream?

Reflections

Another track inspired by Adrian Tchaikovsky's "Shards of Earth" novel. The Groppler is an alien lifeform... but not quite like the artwork. The music is more about the tremendous action sequences as what is left of the Vulture God crew land themselves in a messy fight.

The heavy rhythm guitar is a Gibson 335 and the lead is a Duesenberg Paloma

Groppler

The lyrics of this song were born suddenly, last spring. Like a spark.
I actually was already working on a song about rebirth, blooming trees and spring vibes in the air on those days.
But it was a special period for me, because I listened a lot to Elliott Smith and read a book about him.
I watched a bunch of footage of his interviews and live performances.
I discovered his beautiful music. His songs are amazing. 
Certainly all together had inspired me enough to write those melancholic nostalgic lines.
I think everyone at least once felt unheard and unseen.
This song flew out from my heart like a bird, and now it's free.
I am really happy to share it with the world!
As a nice way to close 2025

Words, words  
like white little birds  
Fly away, so far
Trying to hide 
In the dark of this night
Under the stars, in abeyance
Near the borderline
Somewhere between 
Wonder and somberness

Yes, you  knew, how hard  it is 
To feel unheard and unseen
When everything is blue
And the storms keep raging on

Time, time 
tears through the days
Fluttering  around
Sweeping  away 
The fallen leaves
From the ground
Memories reflected 
On the green quiet river 
Pierce through

Yes, you  knew, how hard  it is 
To feel unheard and unseen
When everything is blue
And the storms keep raging on

Yes, you  knew, how hard  it is 
To feel unheard and unseen
When everything is blue
And the storms keep raging on
