Built To Last

Built To Last (Jul. 2025)

The Horse Walks Backwards on a Violet Cloud is the original mix:

🖋️ Lyrics: 
I listen like a child to night, But the shadows know my name. Fatigue pours gently through the vents, Wrapping me in soft, invisible blame.
The horse walks backwards on a violet cloud. My eyes face the dream it left. She whispers through distant time zones now... And I keep still, in theft.
The table breathes beneath its gift, Unknown hands tie memory in bows. My name was said, half-broken, By a mirror that never knows.
The old man’s beard touches the past. I'm seated wrong, I'm waking slow. She trains in orchards long forgotten. I’m just the ache I never show. Light moves backwards, Through our unfinished sky.
I wrote none of this — But it’s mine, It’s mine.

The Horse Walks Backwards on a Violet Cloud

snusd

Hold your hands up to the sun,
Dance around, chant a song,
Swing your hips and have some fun,
Stomp your feet, vibrate the gong,
Shake the earth, embrace the air,
Sun is out, it's all around,
Dance your heart in to a prayer,
Listen to the sacred sound,
Circle of sol, enlighten your soul,
Rays of sunlight, solar power,
We are human, we are whole,
Consuming the sun like a sun flower,
Yellow sun that bakes the earth,
Essence of life it gives to we,
Fuel for the plants, bolsters the birth,
Taste the sunbeams, blaze of glee.

Oh, the golden mask of Ahau,
Oh, the golden mask of Ahau,
Oh, the golden mask of Ahau,
Oh, the golden mask of Ahau.

Chapter 244 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of dreams and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.
