Name: Paper Ghosts by Machines Dreaming
Duration: 4 min 20 s
Description: ‘Paper Ghosts’ is about the quiet presence of memories that never fully fade. Some moments slip away, while others stay folded into the spaces we move through, shaping us in ways we don’t always see. This song captures the feeling of looking back, tracing the outlines of what’s been lost, and realizing that even the past leaves its imprint.

‘Cities Under Water’ tells the story of a world slowly swallowed by the tide. It’s about the unstoppable force of nature, the fragility of what we build, and the quiet realization that nothing lasts forever. As the ocean rises, memories fade, structures fall, and what was once certain dissolves into the deep.

‘Tremors’ is about the restless energy beneath the surface, the moments before everything shifts. It captures the feeling of movement without direction, of tension building underfoot, of never truly being still. Some changes come as a shock, and others roll in slow, but once the ground moves, nothing stays the same.

‘Endless Miles’ is about the feeling of moving forward but never really arriving. It’s a song about long roads, fleeting moments, and the weight of searching for something just out of reach. No matter how far we go, some questions stay unanswered, and some roads only lead back to where we started.

'No Arrival' is a reflection on the pursuit of something that can never be reached. Each step forward only shifts the horizon further away, leaving no certainty, no conclusion—only movement. The song lingers in the space between expectation and reality, where every destination unravels the moment it comes into view.

'Until I Fray' explores the quiet disintegration of identity — the subtle moments where you no longer recognize the version of yourself you're supposed to be. It’s about wearing a smile that doesn’t quite fit, mourning the person you never became, and performing a role that feels increasingly hollow. The lyrics trace a conversation between past and present selves, and the space between them where something essential got lost. A song for anyone who’s ever felt like they were playing someone else’s part in their own life.



Until I Fray

Machines Dreaming is a Copenhagen-based project for sound in motion—where years of crafting music the old-school way collide with the limitless possibilities of machines. Rooted in a deep musical past, the sound blends acoustic elements with electronic experimentation, layering synth-driven landscapes, glitch-infused rhythms, and spectral vocals into something both raw and evolving.

Shaped by the tension between human expression and machine precision, each track moves between organic warmth and digital unpredictability, where structure and chaos exist side by side. Inspired by cinematic ambience, post-electronic textures, and introspective sound design, the music unfolds in the quiet hours—where flickering screens pulse in time with fractured beats, and synthetic tones blur into something immersive and real.

For those who listen beyond the surface, who seek deep, atmospheric, and evocative music, Machines Dreaming is a signal in the noise — crafted north of Copenhagen, reaching listeners worldwide.
