"Insula Island" is a poetic play on the Latin word "insula", a real region deep within the human brain responsible for self-awareness, body perception, and emotional balance.
The title hints at a mental escape: a peaceful inner island where the mind can rest, reset, and resist the chaos of modern overload.
The cover art visualizes this concept literally, turning the brain’s insular cortex into a tropical island at sunset.
It’s both a place in your head and out of this world. A surreal refuge.
Because sometimes, survival means retreating, and not to run away, but to stay sane.

Insula Island

This song is my promise of lifelong love. It’s about walking through every season, every change, hand in hand with the person I cherish. Even as time leaves its marks, the bond stays strong. For me, it’s a commitment that love will last, grow, and carry us through the years.

When we grow old

Aime-moi d'amour
Tes yeux langoureux
Ils me rendent fou
Je vois le ciel bleu
Quand je suis avec toi tout doux
Aime-moi d'amour
Mon amour
Pour toujours
Aime-moi d'amour
Ta voix si tendre
Murmure mon nom
Mon cœur peut se fendre
De cette douce chanson
Mon cœur tremble de bonheur
Chaque heure
Je sens ta chaleur
C'est un honneur
Aime-moi d'amour dans la nuit étoilée
Les rêves murmurent
Les secrets oubliés
Sous la lune timide
Ton souffle léger
Je danse dans l'ombre
Ton ombre dorée

Tes yeux parlent plus fort que mille mots
Un océan calme
Un feu sans écho
Ta voix m'appelle
Douce mélodie
Une vague qui berce ma folie

Quand tu ris
Le monde s'efface
Quand tu pleures
Le temps se lasse

Aime-moi d'amour
Encore
Toujours
Sous les cieux sans détour
Aime-moi d'amour
Un seul regard
Ton coeur
Mon phare

Chaque battement
Un frisson
Un cri
Chaque instant
Un poème écrit
Aime-moi comme le vent aime la mer
Sans fin
Sans frontière

Aime-moi d'amour
Ce que j'aime sont tes yeux langoureux
C'est ta voix si tendre
Ton coeur trembler de bonheur
Aime-moi d'amour

Aime-moi d'amour

The Edge of Light

[Verse 1]
I’m standing at the border of my pain
the edge of who I used to be
shadows whisper comfort—
but I can't go back
I feel the pull of something free

[Pre-Chorus]
The world tilts and my breath expands
a trembling step an open hand
I’m not afraid of what I'll find
when love begins with me this time

[Chorus]
On the edge of light I'm breaking open
learning how to see with new eyes
on the edge of light my heart is chosen
to love myself and let the rest arrive

[Verse 2]
The mirror no longer speaks in blame
I touch the glass it speaks my hope
every scar a holy thread—
woven proof that I was never less

[Pre-Chorus]
The world tilts and my breath expands
a trembling step an open hand
I'm not afraid of what I'll find
when love begins with me this time

[Chorus]
On the edge of light I'm breaking open
learning how to see with new eyes
on the edge of light my heart is chosen
to love myself and let the rest arrive

[Bridge]
A fire glows inside the dark
a quiet spark that will not fade
I'll walk into the unknown sky
knowing love has found its way

[Final Chorus]
On the edge of light I'm breaking open
rising into all that I am
on the edge of light love is the ocean
and I am ready to dive again

[Outro]
On the edge of light—
I am finally mine

The Edge of Light

Missing Without You

[Verse 1]
Met you on a slow blue morning
sunlight caught on your hair—
you laughed like you already knew me
and something in me shifted quiet

We walked past houses half-awake
your fingers brushing mine—
close enough to spark
but not enough to start us not yet

[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how the small things stay—
your voice the warmth
the way you said my name
like it meant something more

[Chorus]
Cause you’re the part of me
I didn’t know was missing—
the rhythm in the mess
the calm when all is spinning

Every time you go
I feel the space you leave—
it’s like the world leans sideways
tilted—missing without you

[Verse 2]
You showed up on my hardest days
hands in your pockets eyes soft—
you stayed until my breathing settled
until the walls I kept got tired

And I didn’t say it
but you knew—
the way my shoulders dropped
the way my voice found its way to you


[Pre-Chorus]
It’s wild how your silence speaks—
your presence filling
every space I thought was empty
holding what I couldn’t hold alone

[Chorus]
Cause you’re the part of me
I didn’t know was missing—
the rhythm in the mess
the calm when all is spinning

Every time you go
I feel the space you leave—
like the room forgets its center
I’m missing without you

[Bridge]
And if you ever wander
if you ever doubt—
I’ll keep a light on
I’ll say it out loud

You’re the piece that fits
the place I land—
come back home
and I’ll take your hand

[Final Chorus]
Cause you’re the part of me
I didn’t know was missing—
the pulse I follow through the dark
the truth I keep believing
Anywhere you walk
I’m already halfway there—
cause the world stays brighter
when you’re right here
I’m missing without you—
only whole when I’m with you

Missing Without You

you say dont wear that 
you say wear this 
you say dont do that 
i dont give a shit 
you say i asked for it 
i didnt ask for it 
too much make up not enough 
make your fuckin mind up
clothes do not define me
 breasts do not define me 
you do not define me

i am woman
hear me roar

you say dont go out after dark
 you say dont walk through the park at night 
if you do hold your keys in your hand and be ready to fight
well if i have to fight Im gonna go for your eyes 
im gonna go for your balls and then after it all 
put my foot on your chest and scream
i am woman  hear me roar  
i am woman hear me roar


stop the suffocation manipulation violation 
stop the exploitation subjugation violation
stop the suffocation manipulation violation 
stop the exploitation degredation violation

Lyrics:

Dear little child
Inside me
Please come out
I need to heal
Dont be afraid
You are safe

I want you to see
I belive in you
I need you to be...  Free...

Dear little child
Take my hand
I will protect you
And understand

Lyrics
An unlikely a pairing
As ever would be
The Doo and the Daw
In a strange harmony

One bustles, one struts
But their business is clear
The attaining of order
For survival so dear

Day after Day
In garden and field
They comb all the ground
For a hopeful yield

Blue eyes a watching
Should a chance appear
Or a playful encounter
With a friend, brings cheer

Thankyou to those of you who liked and commented last week when the vocal stem went out by mistake!

I'm now taking a six-week digital detox vacation.
We'll see and hear from each other again in 2026!
Happy Holidays!

"Redder" is a palindrome. Like "racecar" or "level". These pieces of music ain't.

My name is Volker Redder, online I go by "docredder." It all came about because I studied biology and computer science for a long time and received my doctorate as the crowning achievement of my academic career.
As a child, I sang Bach in the church's „Knabenchor Unser Lieben Frauen“ because my mother thought it was good for my soul. And it was, until, thanks to an excellent teacher, I realized that music is like mathematics. After that, I loved not only music but also mathematics and all sciences based on mathematics: physics, biology, chemistry, computer science. So, I went straight into the natural sciences and engineering. Yes, I studied a lot. However, a university career wasn't for me. I wanted to monetize the findings of the various sciences (you can't live on air and love alone) and founded over a dozen companies. Because who wants life to follow a clear formula? I certainly didn't. In addition to adventurous entrepreneurship, the subsequent career in politics (German Bundestag), and a growing family, I was constantly picking up the guitar or keyboard, which is what you do when you want to escape the chaos of everyday life.
Should I say I'm a virtuoso? No. That would be a lie. I'm just too lazy for that. Laziness, or in modern parlance, "efficiency," is a principle for me. And so I founded my "own studio," consisting of a lot of electronics and software. The hipsters call it DIY. I call it "not wanting to act like a big shot and book expensive recording studios." I'm a one-man orchestra, a chef-d'oeuvre who spends all day producing pop, rock, indie, and ambient mishmash until he finally finds it he likes. My menu? Pink Floyd, Genesis, Supertramp, Muse, Zappa, Miles Davis, and many more. Yes, all at once. I told you: mishmash.
There are guys who write music to become famous. Then there's me. I write music to keep myself from going crazy. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes there's melancholy in it, sometimes it's stories from literature or something sci-fi. Or from Tinder dates my daughters have told me. I mean, who hasn't wondered what "being in Tinder light" is? Exactly. I wrote it down. I use everything I can get my hands on: GarageBand, samples, my voice, AI voices, Udio, VirtualDJ, everything! I don't care if purists say it's no longer art. It doesn't matter, the main thing is that my music feels like a window you can look out of and discover something new again and again.
Every song becomes a little adventure. Sometimes I start with a line, sometimes with a feeling I can't shake. It's like an escape from reality, except in the end, there's no escape. And that's a good thing. This is how I stay grounded. Okay, grounded isn't the right word either. Let me put it this way: I've stayed true to myself. And I'm grateful for everyone who listens, shares, or comments.
It makes me feel like I'm not completely alone in this madness. So if you also like songs that don't follow the rules, I'd be happy if you joined in. After all, the world is crazy enough.
You have to fight that with music. I mean, that's logical, right?
