Relaxing

An Unfinished Life .(Audiomachine)

From the point of nothing, a thunderous BANG,  
A billion stars, the void's refrain,  
Matter and time in an exploding ball,
The birth of chaos, the dawn of it all.

In the silent dark, the cosmos roars,  
A universe born in the fiery wars,  
From singularity’s blinding might,  
The genesis of light, breaking the night.

Atoms collide, the fabric strains,  
Space expanding, breaking chains,  
Gravity’s pull, the galaxies spin,  
A spiral dance where it all begins
 
In the silent dark, the cosmos roars,  
A universe born in the fiery wars,  
From singularity’s blinding might,  
The genesis of light, breaking the night. 

Quarks and photons in a primal surge,  
The big bang’s echo, a cosmic dirge,  
A symphony of particles, the dance of fate,  
The universe expanding at a reckless rate.  

In the silent dark, the cosmos roars,  
A universe born in the fiery wars,  
From singularity’s blinding might,  
The genesis of light, breaking the night.

The Genesis Of Light

Sittin’ on my blue couch, sinking in my golden cage,
Staring at the TV, but it's showing empty space.
Politics are drowning, in a sea of lost regrets,
And my boyfriend? Oh, he’d forget my name, I bet.
The world spins ‘round, but I stand still,
Everything’s a rerun, nothing left to thrill.

Nothing left to do, nothing left to say,
Guess I'll sit and watch the minutes fade away.
Nothing left to lose, nothing feels so new,
Stuck inside a world that don’t know what to do.
Nothing left to do, nothing left to say,
Guess I'll sit and watch the minutes fade away.
Nothing left to lose, nothing feels so new,
Stuck inside a world that don’t know what to do.

Flipping through the channels, every story sounds the same,
Rain is tapping on the window, but I don’t wanna play.
Books are full of wisdom that I’m way too tired to read,
And bedtime’s far away, but there’s nowhere else to be.
The world moves fast, but I just stare,
Waiting for a moment, that was never there.

Nothing left to do, nothing left to say,
Guess I'll sit and watch the minutes fade away.
Nothing left to lose, nothing feels so new,
Stuck inside a world that don’t know what to do.

The world spins ‘round, but I stand still,
Everything’s a rerun, nothing left to thrill.

Nothing left to do, nothing left to say,
Guess I'll sit and watch the minutes fade away.
Nothing left to lose, nothing feels so new,
Stuck inside a world that don’t know what to do.
Nothing left to do, nothing left to say,
Guess I'll sit and watch the minutes fade away.
Nothing left to lose, nothing feels so new,
Stuck inside a world that don’t know what to do.

Maybe I should call him, ask him where the hell he’s been,
But I know he’d make excuses, then he’d just forget again.
Maybe I should step outside and let the raindrops win,
But I’ll probably just sit right here, and let the night begin.

The world spins ‘round, but I stand still,
Everything’s a rerun, nothing left to do.

Nothing left to do, nothing left to say,
Guess I'll sit and watch the minutes fade away.
Nothing left to lose, nothing feels so new,
Guess I'm just a shadow in a world without a clue.

Stasis

I see my face in neon glass, a stranger stares back at me,
A life once built on shadows, now unraveling at sea.
The whispers in the alleys, the silence in their eyes,
Tell me that I mattered once—but was it built on lies?
I’ve traced the steps of someone else, a ghost of who I was,
But every answer slips away, dissolving into dust.

Who am I beyond the past, beyond the mask I wore?
If memories are fading fast, then what was I before?
I am more than just a name, more than stories left untold,
Not a prisoner of the echoes, not a slave to what was sold.

The red chip burns inside my palm, a relic of the game,
A symbol of the life I lived, but never knew by name.
I stand upon the water’s edge, the city fades behind,
And all the weight I carried now is nothing in my mind.
The tide is rising, washing clean the man I used to be,
No more chains of reputation, no more ghosts to follow me.

Who am I beyond the past, beyond the mask I wore?
If memories are fading fast, then what was I before?
I am more than just a name, more than stories left untold,
Not a prisoner of the echoes, not a slave to what was sold.

Let it go, let it go…
The waves don’t ask where you have been, they only pull you home.
Let it go, let it go…
The weight of all you’ve lost is just the cost of being free.

Who am I beyond the past, beyond the mask I wore?
If memories are fading fast, then what was I before?
I am more than just a name, more than stories left untold,
Not a prisoner of the echoes, not a slave to what was sold.

The red chip falls, the ocean sways,
I watch it sink, I walk away.
No name, no chains, no past to claim,
Just a man reborn again.

The Man Who Lost His Name - Part 2

Whatever I do, wherever I roam,
I know in my heart – with you, I’m home.
When life gets heavy, when nothing feels right,
You listen and stay through the night.

The coffee cup, the evening wine,
I still love to share that time.
Just call ahead, drop me a line,
If it’s not too far – stop by anytime.

Stop by anytime, stop by anytime, I’m always around,
Pull up a chair, let's slow this world down.
A coffee, a laugh, a glass of red wine,
If it’s not out your way, stop by anytime.

Your window’s lit, I see the glow,
I come upstairs, let my worries go.

Stop by anytime, stop by anytime, I’m always around,
Pull up a chair, let's slow this world down.
A coffee, a laugh, a glass of red wine,
If it’s not out your way, stop by anytime.

No fire left burning, but warmth still remains,
A comfort that stays when passion has changed.
We’ve danced through the years, now we sit and we smile,
Not lovers, but something that's still so worthwhile.

If you’ve got the time,
Just knock on the door, stop by anytime.
Stop by anytime.
Stop by anytime.

Stop by anytime, you know where I’ll be,
With coffee and stories and space to just breathe.
If it’s not too far, if you’ve got the time,
Just knock on the door, stop by anytime.

Stop By Anytime

Barefoot kids in summer light,
Chasing dreams in open air,
Hands like wings, their hearts in flight,
No tomorrow, no despair.

Daisies woven, games begun,
Spinning wild beneath the sun,
Shouts of joy like morning bells,
Freedom's song that gently swells.

Run, run, run where the wild things play,
Sun on your face, no price to pay.
Run, run like you’ve never known a wall,
Catch that joy before it falls.

Rolling hills and skies so wide,
Hopes like paper planes they glide.
One small leap, a fearless cry,
Touch the earth and kiss the sky.

Run, run, run where the wild things play,
Sun on your face, no price to pay.
Run, run like you’ve never known a wall,
Catch that joy before it falls.

Evening hums a lullaby,
As shadows stretch and swallows fly.
But in their hearts, the fire stays,
A spark from golden childhood days.

Run, run, run though the dusk is near,
Hold to the light, hold what is dear.
Run, run, run like the children in the sun —
Wild and free, forever young.

Run, run, run where the wild things play,
Sun on your face, no price to pay.
Run, run like you’ve never known a wall,
Catch that joy before it falls.

And still the breeze recalls their names...

Run, Run, Run!

Canyons of glass
World’s moving fast
Lost my own name
In the endless game
Was looking for a sign
A single silver line
A whisper in the roar
Something to adore

'Cause I found the green inside the city’s grey
Found a wooden bench and watched the world just fade away
Right here in the heart of all the noise and spin
My soul can finally breathe again, and let the light come in.

An old tree stands
With patient hands
The sun breaks through
A different blue
No need to run or hide
Just feeling what's inside
A quiet, gentle grace
In this forgotten space

'Cause I found the green inside the city’s grey
Found a wooden bench and watched the world just fade away
Right here in the heart of all the noise and spin
My soul can finally breathe again, and let the light come in.

Maybe you get lost just to be found
To feel your feet on sacred ground
The rushing river turns to a silent pool
And you become the exception to the rule.

Yes, I found the green inside the city’s grey!
Found my wooden bench and watched the world just fade away!
Right here in the heart of all the noise and spin
My soul can finally breathe again, and let the light come in!

Let the light come in…
Breathe it in…
In the green… in the grey…
Fade away…
Let the light come in…

Let The Light Come In

From silent rooms
And separate streets
The call goes out
For friends to meet
One single voice
Then two, then three
A different kind
Of gravity

The air begins to hum and feel
Like something turning, something real
Friendship is a living flame
Where truth can speak and feel no shame
A constellation in the dark
Every friend a burning spark
Friendship is a living flame

The old ideas
Begin to bend
A broken thought
A trusted friend
Can help it mend
With a new reply
Reflected in
A dozen eyes

The world outside just fades away
There's only what our friends all say
Friendship is a living flame
Where truth can speak and feel no shame
A constellation in the dark
Every friend a burning spark
Friendship is a living flame

And maybe there's a witness here
To the friendship that we're holding dear
A silent watcher, holding space
For the truth on every friendly face
A grace that we can't see or name
That feels us burn like one bright flame
There's only what our friends all say

Friendship is a living flame!
Where truth can speak and feel no shame!
A constellation in the dark!
Every friend a burning spark!
Friendship is a living flame!
A living flame!

A Living Flame

Stone and silence built this town
Mountain giants looking down
Holding me in place, you see
A pretty cage for what is me

Faces here are calm and deep
Secrets that their routines keep
But in my soul, a different light
A restless fire in the night

There has to be more to believe...
There has to be more to be...
And oh, the world is calling low
A whisper on the winds that blow
This quiet death, I have to leave
There's more to be, more to believe

I see an angel in the red
Of evening skies above my head
He paints the edge of all I know
With colors that command me: go.

This thirst for more, this holy need
To plant a new and foreign seed
And oh, the world is calling low
A whisper on the winds that blow
This quiet death, I have to leave
There's more to be, more to believe

The doorstep is a line of fear
But standing here, it's crystal clear
One self must end, so one can start
To find its own and greater part.

Oh yeah, the world is calling low
A whisper on the winds that blow
This quiet death, I have to leave
There's more to be, more to believe

The world is calling...
Calling low...
And I must go...
I must go...
Go...

More to Believe

On Titan's shore, the air is new
An atmosphere of silver-blue
The ground we shaped, a lonely stage
To turn a cosmic, final page

The king of rings begins to bow
I watch him sink, I don't know how
This broken heart of light and dust
Can fill my own with so much trust

If I cried out, a fragile plea...
Who in this void would answer me?
Oh, Saturn falling, falling down, down
A silent fire, a heavy crown
This awful beauty I have found
And I don't dare to make a sound

A beauty made of cosmic dust
A silent witness to my lust
For something real in this cold place
Reflected in my human face

Falling down, the light, the grace
Falling out of time and space
Oh, Saturn falling, falling down, down
A silent fire, a heavy crown
This awful beauty I have found
And I don't dare to make a sound

My name dissolves, my body breaks
For every breath the silence takes
I am the eye, I am the gleam
A waking part of this strange dream
Oh, Saturn falling, falling down, down
A silent fire, a heavy crown
This awful beauty I have found
And I don't dare to make a sound

Saturn Fall
Saturn Fall
Part of the fall...
Part of the light...
A fading whisper...
In the endless night...

Oh, Saturn falling, falling down, down
A silent fire, a heavy crown
This awful beauty I have found
And I don't dare to make a sound

Saturn Is Falling

Room 3B, the blinds are down
Orange hair, the talk of town
Tulle on her shoulders, 80s-chic
She’s the prophet of the week
Throws the cards down on the wood
Says your future's understood
Love and money, tax returns
She’s the lesson no one learns

Oh, Madame Fortuna, tell me a lie
With that online diploma in your eye
Oh, Madame Fortuna, it’s all for show!
But oh, what a glow! What a glow!

You want the Ace of Hearts, you say?
Well, it kind of fell away
Lost somewhere inside her dress
She's a beautiful, hot mess
Throws the cards down on the wood
Says your future's understood
Love and money, tax returns
She’s the lesson no one learns

Oh, Madame Fortuna, tell me a lie
With that online diploma in your eye
Oh, Madame Fortuna, it’s all for show!
But oh, what a glow! What a glow!

So she can't see what's coming next
She's just working from a text
Who needs the truth when the vibes are right?
Shining in the pale moonlight

Madame Fortuna, we’ll buy the lie
'Cause there's real magic in your eye!
Oh, Madame Fortuna, we love the show!
So give us the glow! Give us the glow! What a show!
Oh, what a glow! Oh, what a glow!
It's all for show, you know
Oh, what a glow! Oh, what a glow!
It's just for show, we know.

Madame Fortuna

The light recedes,
A final gleam.
The forest pleads
In a waking dream.
The ancient trees ascend,
To shadow and to night,
A silent, waiting friend
Born of the fading light.

Oh, the silence weaves,
A silence, deep and true.
An angel's wing believes,
This silence, holding you.
My heart grows vast, beyond all time,
Lost in the silent, sacred rhyme,
Lost in the silent rhyme.

The moss so deep,
The ground so cool.
A dream to keep
Beside the pool
Of memory, unseen,
A truth and whispered scene
While all the ages slept.

Oh, the silence weaves,
A silence, deep and true.
An angel's wing believes,
This silence, holding you.
My heart grows vast, beyond all time,
Lost in the silent, sacred rhyme,
Lost in the silent rhyme.

Is there a name for this I feel?
Where do my senses stray?
I lose myself in something real
And softly fade away.
A breath, a glance, a holy space,
I am no longer in this place.

Oh, the silence weaves,
This silence breathes in me.
The angel's wing now weaves
My soul for all to see.
My heart is vast, it knows no time,
I am the silent, sacred rhyme,
I am the silent rhyme.

Bullet Train

Bullet Train by Stephen Swartz ft. Joni Fatora

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?
