In the natural world, some animals have the remarkable ability to reproduce through parthenogenesis, effectively cloning themselves to facilitate asexual reproduction. As humanity faces the growing challenges of an increasingly inhospitable Earth, our quest to find habitable planets elsewhere has led to groundbreaking projects. One such endeavour focuses on genetically enhancing humans, enabling them to harness the power of parthenogenesis—a biological adaptation that becomes invaluable for extended space exploration.

These genetically modified individuals adopt a permanent female form, embracing a singular reproductive mechanism that aligns with the demands of long-distance space travel. Their chosen mode of transportation is none other than an asteroid, a celestial vessel that carries them across the cosmos on a voyage of uncharted potential.

Within the unique confines of the asteroid, a distinct culture has emerged. "Holy Vision" is a religious space folklore hailing from the very heart of the asteroid. It is a testament to the boundless ingenuity of humanity, revered as a beacon of hope and adaptation in the face of an uncertain future among the stars.

Lyrics:
Cells recreating,
mirror its image,
growing in the belly,
it's human biology.

Eukarya, eukarya...

All is calm and all is bright,
Holy infant silent night,
Mother and child tender and mild
Round yon vision, Holy night.
Holy night.

Cells recreating,
mirror its image,
growing in the belly,
it's human biology.

Eukarya, eukarya...

Lyrics:
The nights were high when we were young
We would talk on the phone till it's dawn
Dreams and visions of the universe
You said when we grow older we'll do what we wanted to

I said,
would you accompany me in this future life (you & I)
and live the changes of our times
And I will be by your side
in this future life (you & I)
to see rockets lift off in the sky

Let it blow... Let it blow... Let it blow... Let it blow... 

The flag has changed and the the queen is gone
Are we still a part of what it has become?
Our values have changed after gain and lost
Still I dream about the nights that we used to talk

I said,
would you accompany me in this future life (you & I)
and live the changes of our times
And I will be by your side
in this future life (you & I)
to see rockets lift off in the sky

Let it blow... Let it blow... Let it blow... Let it blow...

Future Life (Mustelide Remix)

Lyrics:

騎著快車  飄遠方 /Riding on a fast car, lost in a far away place
回望昨日的落莫 / looking back to the desolate of yesterday
懷念母親的笑窩 / I missed my mother's sweet smile
繼續上路   直到日落 / As I continued forward on this road until the sunset

日月星輝的亮光 / Under the sun, the moon and the shinning stars
照各地的夢也是一樣 / same are the dreams on every land that are shone
與你能高歌的那個地方 / A place where you and I can sing at the top of our voice
便是我心中的烏托邦 / is the utopia that reigns in my heart

Under the sun and the shining stars, 
same are the dreams on every land that are shone.
At gun point, where there is no where else to go
but to pursue and manifest the dream that you always have.
You, the lowest of the low rise up in the dark,
hanging by the flesh and the beating of your heart.
Seeing through this lens in your head,
utopia has a colour,
and the colour is love.

‘Moon Palace’ is French Concession’s first single off her EP ‘Empress’. A dreamy and dynamic electronic soundscape takes the listener to an extravagant alien palace on some shimmering moon. French Concession’s soothing vocals and warming harmonies invite the listeners 'to this place where we don't get old'.

Lyrics:

easy come, easy go no gravity below
come with me, come with me slow
floating in quite space I'm struggling to control
come to me, come to me slow

real slow
I just want to hold on to you can never let go
real slow
I just want to go
to this place where we don't get old

we don't need to speak out loud
vacuum space don't transmit sound
but baby won't you come around
we can hit the ground

Winter Storm

Lyrics:

He's walking in circle
with all these people
In this concrete jungle 
every inch is cold
I peered from the eleventh floor
through the window
The lights are shinning bright
for all these people
I wish he knew

Lost in the sea...

Time passes by
and we all walked on by
Time passes by
and we all walked on by

I'm feeling...

I've been watching every single night
coz I can't fall asleep in this city light
oh I dream to see the wonders of the seven seas
image all the versions that I can be
but you're the only sweet memory
that'll continue to haunt me so tenderly

Tower Lisa

Sentimentos

2 x 4

I didn't want to say goodbye
so what I did was pretend
that I didn't care about you
and didn't speak with you again

but then, 
I didn't know how deep it would affect me in the end
cause in my life
I dream about you
again, again and again...

All these years I would pretend
all these years I couldn't mend
all these years I dream of you again, again and again...

Again

Far Away

'My inspiration behind this remix was an underwater hydrophone recording of the 9.0 earthquake that struck off the coast of Japan in 2011. The sound of plates shifting was so loud that the hydrophone couldn’t handle it.'

Sentimentos (Piano Ver) Feat. Marstn

Lyrics:
Is someone's Champagne popping in the crowd, popping in the crowd?
We called a speeding taxi to the highest ground, to the highest ground
Cold and misty away from the city sound, in the forest ground
Silence nurtured feelings waiting to be found

我的愛是... 我的愛是...(my love is... my love is...)

We kiss and fall in love
We open up our hearts
The world was made for us
