From the composer: “Slowly Revealing” began as a solo piano piece, “Revealing,” inspired by the idea of meeting God or experiencing an awakening. This orchestral version reflects the meditative process of reaching that moment, with each layer unfolding gradually, as if drawing closer to a deeper understanding or presence.

From the composer: "Flow Thy Rocks" is inspired by the story of water flowing from a rock in the desert—a moment of divine provision and transformation. Written as a meditation, the piece reflects on how we can turn times of trial into sources of healing and sustenance. With rhythms and melodies that evoke both the arid stillness of the desert and the life-giving surge of flowing water, it is a tribute to the unexpected abundance that can emerge from trials of faith and perseverance. I've created this piece as a birthday present for my best friend. Happy birthday, Jami.

From the composer: "More Than We See" is a piece I composed during a trip through the Adirondacks, inspired by the stunning views of lakes nestled at the foot of towering mountains. The sense of mystery and the way nature's elements fit together influenced this composition, which unfolds in vignettes that blend into a unified whole, much like nature itself.

From the composer: The song is meant as a reassuring note-to-self, available to read whenever your feelings set off alarm bells. The note is a reminder that your feelings are not a danger.

Requiem for the Past

Epic and powerful dramatic trailer music.

Liberation

Experience the episode how we envisioned it:

The first episode of Tales of the Forgotten, "My Status is Living" explores the relationship of Iris, a machinery expert, and Rin, a young and naive robot companion built by Iris. Fearing for herself and Rin, whom she thinks of as her own child, Iris struggles with knowing she must leave the Grey Wastes, a mega-scrapyard she's been a part of for many years, and find others in an unknown world.

Tales of the Forgotten [LORE SYNOPSIS]:

"2183. The machines had taken control. Human civilizations slowly fell during the 17 years prior. Forced into the shadows out of fear and total extinction, they slowly recouped their resources over the years, and eventually, struck back across the globe. Fooled by their own mindset of superiority, the empires of the machines began crumbling one by one, and man took back what was once theirs. By making a vow to abandon technologies, humans eventually returned to a more primitive lifestyle, a lifestyle that AI were no longer a part of.

Man was thriving once more. But what of the AI? And specifically, those of the original minority? The ones who sought for peace and harmony between races. Unfortunately, any effort to remedy the situation seemed futile; these creations were alone, scattered across the globe with no means of communication to the others who felt similar. Individually, each knew that there must be a way to regain the trust of humans and regress to the prosperity of coexistence, but the efforts of one would never make a difference. They had been forgotten not only by their own for not taking a stand, but also by their creators who deemed all AI to be a threat. All hope seemed lost. But determined, the brave would venture out of the shadows and into the very world that shattered all they once knew."

Episode II: Unexpected Guests

A Friend for Thought

Two years after the release of his acclaimed Erased Tapes debut, ‘The Transition’, Californian singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist David Allred returns with a solo piano perspective on the album, aptly titled Felt The Transition — out December 18.

"Felt The Transition is a new minimalist solo piano perspective on my experimental chamber folk album previously released in 2018, called The Transition. This music is reinterpreted on my 114 year old upright piano which was very kindly donated to me by my friend Adam Selzer who previously ran a recording studio in Portland called Type Foundry. This piano is very sentimental to me as it was used by a handful of my favorite musicians on their albums over the past 20 years, namely Peter Broderick’s ‘How They Are‘ and ‘Two Balloons’.” — David Allred
