Outfit - Framed

Cognitio Stellaris

Chill tunes and Open Space ambience imaginations with wide synth panorama

Deep Space Tells - Somewhere in the Space

Building off the momentum from his first project, Textbook Maneuver (“A spaced-out odyssey of an album, leaning heavily into the ambient & left-field side of electronic music.” Magnetic Magazine /  “Textbook Maneuver creates music that takes listeners on an atmospheric journey.” Illustrate Magazine /  “No words required here. It’s all emotive sound, frequencies, and there’s plenty of it to entertain, energize, and even hypnotize.” Good Music Radar),. Life Science Records is proud to announce composer Michael Keane’s latest project Distance Major.  The self-titled debut is set to release exclusively on Bandcamp, Sept 6, 2025 and will release worldwide in October 2025

Michael Keane is the Bronx-born, New Jersey-based composer behind the Textbook Maneuver  and Distance Major aliases. A classically trained pianist with a punk DIY heart, Keane blends cerebral sound design with cinematic storytelling, drawing from a wide palette of influences that stretch from Genesis (Duke era), Rush, and Gary Numan to The Postal Service, U.N.K.L.E., and Phantogram. Under the Distance Major moniker, his releases balance the intellectually introspective feel of the best instrumental indie rock with the emotional resonance of ambient and prog-influenced electronica, offering soundscapes fit for film, television, and interactive media. His music thrives on improvisation and sonic experimentation, refusing easy classification while remaining deeply accessible. 

Distance Major shared: “The tracks on the debut LP were composed between November 2024 and August 2025.  I was trying to incorporate many aspects of synthesizer rock along with chill modern jazz.  I am trying to capture strong emotions and melodic flow even in the absence of lyrics.” Get on board now with this talented emerging new artist!

Distance Echoes

Lyrics

Sneak like a ghost
Tiptoe-in feet
A broken home
A broken dream
But you
Oh you
Can see right through me

It’s not a joke
I wanna change
I tell myself that every god damn day
I stay the same

It feels good to be living a lie 
It feels good to be somebody else tonight
It feels good when you open your mind
So you and me will never die

I’ve got a host
Stuck in my brain
Pulling the levers, controlling what I say
He won’t go away

I got a notion
The more I take
The more control he has over what I think
Guess that’s ok

It feels good to be living a lie 
It feels good to be someone else tonight
It feels good to open your mind 
cuz you and me will never die

It feels good to be doing it right
It feels good but my throats getting dry
It feels good ignoring advice
Cuz you and me will never die

U + Me Will Never Die

Lyrics:

Take me to church oh Georgie 
Give me something to fuel my love 
Give me enough 
I wanna see the sun again
Take me to church with my friends 
Find us a way to cure our blood 
It’s fillin’ up 
And I just wanna be right again 

Heavens Lonely without you 
Time move slowly without you 

Come over to my place darling
Bring everyone we’ve got enough
Climbing up 
The stars are comin out again 
Don’t leave me hangin darling 
I don’t know what happens when I’m alone 
I can’t be alone 
I just wanna be right again 

Heavens Lonely without you 
Time move slowly without you 
Heavens Lonely when I want you 
The night is boring without you

Heaven's Lonely

Lyrics

Gonna light myself on fire baby
Gonna light myself en fuego hunny
Born with two feet runnin bunny
Gonna light myself fiya ya ya ya
 
Haven’t hit rock bottom yet 
But I can rock this bottom
Tet a tet
Turn the tv up real loud
So we can hear those mating ritual sounds

Hear my voice up on the screen
Sold my soul for that tv

Oh Oh Oh I’m broke
Oh I don’t wanna be
Oh Oh Oh I’ll light myself on fire super cheap
No no ain’t no joke
No I’m a beauty queen
Oh oh I just need a fire burning under me

Gonna light myself on fire baby
Gonna light myself en fuego hunny
Born with two feet runnin bunny
Gonna light myself fiya ya ya ya

Why are vet costs so damn high
I don’t want my cat to die

Oh Oh Oh I’m broke
Oh I don’t wanna be
Oh Oh Oh I’ll light myself on fire super cheap
No no ain’t no joke
No I’m a beauty queen
Oh oh I just need a fire burning under me

Lyrics

this is your call
turn it off, turn off your mind
i wanna know more of you in the light
i close my eyes 
see us swaying side by side
maybe feel a little more alive
feel a little close with you tonight

stop making sense 
quit talking
stop making sense
start falling
stop making sense 
hold onto me
you’re always at your best
when you’re not making sense

no time for words
let em lie, let em lie down
all things we’ve heard
mean next to nothing now…
lets stay up high,
come back down when we like
never running outta time
just leaving our minds behind

stop making sense 
quit talking
stop making sense
start falling
stop making sense 
hold onto me
you’re always at your best
when you’re not making sense

Stop Making Sense

Lyrics

It feels like
The first time that I saw you walking up to me 
A moment stuck in time 
It’s a riptide
I played it off as cool as I could be knowing that one day we would leave together

I don’t wanna know you anymore
I don’t wanna know you anymore
Cuz I’m so sick and tired of feeling like I’m second every time
I don’t wanna do this anymore
I don’t wanna do this anymore
But every time I get this close I get afraid that you won’t be mine

In low light
My photographic memory is noisy cuz I don’t know what I’m shooting half the time
But the highlights
Were high enough to get my heart to jump at just the thought of seeing you

I don’t wanna know you anymore
I don’t wanna know you anymore
Cuz I’m so sick and tired of feeling like I’m second every time
I don’t wanna do this anymore
I don’t wanna do this anymore
But every time I get this close I get afraid that you won’t be mine  

When I say
I don’t wanna know you anymore
It don’t mean I don’t want you anymore
It doesn’t mean I that don’t want you in my life 
I just wanna hold you like before
I just wanna lay there on the floor
But every time we get that close we lose our minds

I don’t wanna know you anymore
I don’t wanna know you anymore
Cuz I’m so sick and tired of feeling like I’m second every time
I don’t wanna do this anymore
I don’t wanna do this anymore
But every time I get this close I get afraid that you won’t be mine

I Know So Much Less Than I Thought I Did

I Know So Much Less Than I Thought I Did

show me where the future lies
barely undone or buried alive
we’re playing with a loaded die
further to run or further to rise

sing me to sleep
like a lullabye
pull me like a wave like a wave
down into the night
send me down to the deep
send me into time
spun into a dream, in a dream
till i'm hypnotized

long for the days
back when we were wild
while we dig a grave, for the ways
that we left behind
you said you are who you are
tell me who am i
can we find a way, find a way
to peace of mind 

show me where the future lies
barely undone or buried alive
we’re playing with a loaded die
further to run or further to rise

stay with me now
take me by the hand
tell me there’s a way, there’s a way
we can live again
i'm falling into the past
come and fall with me
i can’t look ahead, to the end
of our history 

long for the days
back when we were wild
while we dig a grave, for the ones
that we left behind
you said you are who you are
tell me who am i
can we find a way, find a way
to peace of mind 

show me where the future lies
barely undone or buried alive
we’re playing with a loaded die
further to run or further to rise

if it comes to pass
will you cover my eyes and take my hand
if the world ends 
will you cover my eyes and take my hand

show me where the future lies
barely undone or buried alive
we’re playing with a loaded die
further to run or further to rise

Buried Alive

Night Pass

Pure Bathing Culture "Ad Victoriam"

Pushing through the static 
But I’m feeling too dramatic to breath
Running from the panic 
But my heart is falling behind the beat

Is it a thrill to haunt me
Is it a thrill to kill me

I can feel you everywhere I go
You’re always on my mind 
You’re on my mind
My body’s made of more than skin and bones 
I’m wanna feel alive
Panic Attack

Heavy rush of blood into my head
I think I’m dying again
Every little thought has got the reaper 
Waiting at the end

Is it a thrill to haunt me
Is it a thrill to kill me

I can feel you everywhere I go
You’re always on my mind 
You’re on my mind
My body’s made of more than skin and bones 
I’m wanna feel alive
Panic Attack

Not gonna breakdown
I’m gonna find my way out
Not gonna breakdown 
I’m gonna find my way 

I can feel you everywhere I go
You’re always on my mind 
You’re on my mind
My body’s made of more than skin and bones 
I’m wanna feel alive
I feel alive
