Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia @john-marc-ventimiglia for his highly valued musical input and for creating the fish, marine mammals, birds and crustacean sound libraries used to compose this piece.

Breaching is one of the most spectacular things you can see while on a whale watch. Whale watchers and scientists alike have often wondered why whales sometimes engage in this most impressive and acrobatic of all whale behaviors. In this spectacular display of athletic prowess, the whale will dive beneath the surface for a few seconds or minutes only to surface vertically with great speed. Often the animal will twist while in mid-air and then come crashing down with thunderous splash.  While all whales have the ability to breach, none do it as often as the Humpback Whale.  But why do they breach?  Some of the main theories are as follows.  Removal of parasites: whales breach to help rid themselves of parasites.  Humpback Whales especially, sometimes carry a variety of external (as well as internal) parasites that may cause itching and irritation to their sensitive skin.  Aid of digestion: whales may breach to help move food along in their digestive tract, a whale might consume over 1 ton of fish every day!  Just of fun: Certainly in the case of young calves breaching could very often just be for fun! Young whales, just like the young of any mammal, do have a keen sense of play which is actually quite important for exercising growing bones and muscles, as well as building body awareness and coordination. Communication: perhaps the most widely accepted theory of whale surface activity, however, is that it is  a non-vocal form of communication among each other.

Obscura has a nostalgic mood and is inspired by the camera obscura (beginning of film). It blends in with the other color related pieces, likt: "Blue", "Green", "Rouge", "Shades of Grey".

Obscura

Kate Stanton and I were discussing music and happened to connect over that weird vibe of being in betwixt and between. After she shared her video from a local dead mall in her town that is being demolished soon, she sent me a rough piano / synth and vocal draft. I added some synthesizers and beats to enhance the dark and haunting vibe. Welcome to the "Liminal Spaces", do you want to hang out with us in the ether?

==== LYRICS ====

You’re my star 
In the sky 
My constant light
Oh, you shine so bright 
All the time

On the darkest night 
I see you the most 
And I feel connected
Carbon-made, gravity stays
Holding be back 
In these liminal spaces

Glowing from the inside out 
Luminous grace and hope 
Am I alive? 
Cause even a ghost girl has fears

You’re my beacon of hope
Message I heard as a girl
Constant. Steady. Strong.

On the darkest night
I see you the most 
And I feel connected
Carbon-made, gravity stays
Holding me down 
In these liminal spaces

This year nearly broke me 
Roaming the halls
Every character flaw on display
Every weakness, every break
What do I do now with these bones?

On the darkest night I see you the most 
And I feel connected
Carbon-made, gravity stay
Holding me back
In these liminal spaces

Glowing from the inside out
A luminous grace and hope.
I am alive
Even a ghost girl has fears.

«Слово истины» ,

Multi-genre composer and producer. I write full band rock, metal, pop and blues arrangements to collaborate with vocalists and instrumentalists. My music is free from AI and always will be.

⚠️Technical issues
My distributor's contract with SoundCloud only offers uploads for 30 countries. There is not much I can do about that, because I need their services for my complex collab situation. If you can't play my songs here, please follow me on any other streaming platform. Just follow the buy link of the individual song.

🎵June 2025
Still working down my pile of unfinished projects and re-releasing older songs. Feel free to comment and repost. As a rule of thumb, electronic music is old. I don't have the capacity for collaborations and remixes.
