Vector Collapse — Dead Reckoning Club
Metalwave forged in salt, steel, and starlight. Dead Reckoning Club is a navigator’s chronicle: compass-rose riffs, storm-dark synths, and drums that hit like heavy seas. Each track charts a different leg of the voyage—from first light on the horizon to the night where you steer by feel alone.

What it sounds like
Retrosynth glow over serrated guitars, cinematic low end, angular hooks, and big choruses. Nautical noir, adrenaline, and midnight resolve.

Themes
Wayfinding without a map • Grit over doubt • Signals in the static • Courage in bad weather • The discipline of the crew, the instinct of the helm.

Credits
Written, performed, produced & mixed by Vector Collapse (Chris Morley).

Release notes
Mastered for punch and clarity. Turn it up, let the needles swing, and hold your line.

Fragmented Self

Atlas in Sneakers (Krystle’s Song) is a street-level pep talk for the people who hold a whole day together with a checklist, a key ring, and a smile. It walks through bus-stop wind and coffee steam, catching little moments of courage and passing them hand-to-hand. It’s warm, bright, and optimistic—the kind of song that lifts the skyline one step at a time.

If you’ve ever carried more than the paper could hold, this one’s for you.

LYRICS — “Atlas in Sneakers (Krystle’s Song)”

You tie your shoes like tying down weather
Pocket a list and a little luck
Bus stop wind and a coffee together
Carrying more than the paper can hold up

If the world gets heavy
Pass it hand to hand
Every step a steady
Simple, brilliant plan

You don’t need the world—the world needs you
Walking it lighter, making it true
Street by street, you lift the view
You don’t need the world—the world needs you

Keys on a ring like tiny planets
Rattle a rhythm the day can sing
You make a map with the way you manage
Door to door, you bring the spring

If the load starts slipping
Count it in to four
Breathe, adjust your grip and
Share a little more

You don’t need the world—the world needs you
Walking it lighter, making it true
Street by street, you lift the view
You don’t need the world—the world needs you

Raise your hands, the skyline follows
Sidewalk choir, steady drums
Every small good turns the tallest
Stone to rising sun

You don’t need the world—the world needs you
Walking it lighter, making it true
Street by street, you lift the view
You don’t need the world—the world needs you

Atlas in Sneakers (Krystle's Song)

I wrote this song after 2 near-death experiences I had in 2021. My recovery was filled with tears of emotions I forgot I had and a new understanding of life and my purpose.

Pain

Classically trained violist turned tech guy turned bass player and digital musician with a focus on metalwave.
