It’s All Downhill From Here-Isolated Vocals and Bass Guitar

Chapter 251 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of consciousness and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.

The Betrayer (Moe-Fi)

He woke up in the dark. He could hear static, from an old radio. When he looked outside, he only saw pitch black. A song started playing through the radio. He knew this song, it was from home. What was the name? Suddenly,  they started moving swiftly towards him. He ducked and curled up, hidden in the dark. He waited, for a while it seemed. It was dead quiet, but he could hear the song. Then he remembered the name, "Edward": his betrayer.  And they were at his feet.

NOTES: 
This song was an early acoustic demo of my song "The Problem" on EP1. I was trying to do weird stuff with my music at that time, and so that's how that weird sounding song on my first EP came to be. But looking back I think I much prefer the sound of this one, and the lofi aesthetic always brings some nostalgia. 

So I'm exploring with some short form storytelling. I just made up those words. Anyhow these will be works in progress, but I can put them out in between my usual songs to keep content going. Artwork to come soon. I hope you enjoy.

 “The Greatest Gifts” is a Christmas song about everything you can’t wrap: closeness, kindness, friendship, and the people who make life a little brighter. The project has been in the works since summer. It all began at the end of June, when my good friend Mike Fox and I first talked about the idea. 
The beautiful lyrics were written by Andrea Brennan, and from there it slowly grew into an international collaboration with many wonderful singers, each bringing their own voice, character, and warmth. 

After all, the greatest gifts aren’t the ones under the tree – they’re the smiles, the helping hands, the shared laughter, and the moments that connect us.

Brain Hop

Brain Hop is a musical genre invented by the artist fictionalive on Monday, December 1st, 2025, at 1:24 PM. The genre seeks to bring depth, intellect, and philosophical reflection into (hip-hop) music, emphasizing thoughtful lyricism and cognitive engagement. Brain Hop differentiates itself from mainstream (hip-hop) by prioritizing meaningful content, complex themes, and a cerebral approach to rhythm and rhyme.

The creation of Brain Hop responds to criticisms that contemporary (hip-hop) often lacks intellectual depth. It aims to provide an artistic space where artists explore profound social, political, and existential issues through innovative beats and poetic lyrics. Brain Hop is positioned as part of a movement to elevate (hip-hop) culture into new territories of artistic and cultural significance.

As of its inception, Brain Hop is recognized as an emerging genre within underground and alternative music scenes, promising to attract listeners and creators who value music that stimulates both mind and soul.
