Floating in Ether — a song about life and creation. A story about love and the mystical power that gives life its form. My first collab with my husband, Lucid Call.

★★ Lyrics ★★ 

Moving slow 
Deep and low
Waking, fall 
Float and glow

Moving slow 
And deep and low
Waking, fall 
And float and glow

Touching, soft 
And right and wrong
Calling names 
And dream and fade away

Holding tight 
Hope and might
Reaching high 
Light and night

Holding tight 
And hope and might
Reaching high 
And light and night

Flowing still
And breathe and feel
Breaking waves
And fears and fade away

Holding tight
And hope and might
And reaching high 
And light and night

Flowing still
And breathe and feel
Breaking waves
And fears and fade away

Moving slow 
Deep and low

Travel Stories.
2025 semi-live performance.

I started producing Trans-Lunar Injection (https://soundcloud.com/petrus-major/trans-lunar-injection-travel) before learning of Jim Lovell's passing. The initial reference was simple: I was inspired by Kraftwerk's TransEurope Express (thanks to @fhauna for spotting this reference) and I wanted to travel through space :) hence the chosen theme and title. I finished the track after Lovell's passing.

The Apollo VIII epic had a huge impact on me, even though I was young at the time, as had those of Apollo XI and the others, of course. So my little dedication was sincerely necessary.

Then I wanted another version, more streamlined, and above all focused on the Apollo VIII mission with this extraordinary message sent from lunar orbit, including the reading of the first verses of the Book of Genesis by each crew member, on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1968, during a television broadcast: a magnificent event within the event! (I might come back to this later).

Sorry for this long introduction...

TLI Genesis RMX [travel stories]

When the authentic self seeks to create an environment set apart from the all pervasive false reality and narratives of these distorted times, it must do so without foundation or context, upon a tabula rasa, an arte povera, from nothing, and how better than through joyful aimless play with no intention other than to create and exist within the moment, through art and music and dance, away from symbols and language and meaning, away from expectation or reception, a creator with no audience or consumer, for the simple  fun of it. And it must be fun; if working hard and making effort are key to success or gaining respect then neither success or respect are important, one need not pass beyond gatekeepers for something as worthless as approval. There are no bad paintings. Want for nothing other than to know the people sing even if you hate their song. Smile at their terrible dancing, then dance yourself.

SQRIA is like all my other recordings in that it is made live only with small cheap synth boxes (Korg Volca (Sample1, FM1, Modular, Kick), Korg NTS1, Korg SQ1, Bastl Kastle (1.5, Drum and ARP)) - no daw or complex programming - just some forethought/intention and the generation of a suitable playspace - then recording what happens as I move things about. SQRIA is different in that each track is originally hours long and then edited down to something near 20 minutes.

From The Ash  
Artists: Freddie Maier & Stefanie K  
Genre: Latin Pop  
Presented by MTM Productions

 "From The Ash" is an anthem of rebirth, inner strength, and transformation. Through a blend of emotional depth and infectious Latin Pop rhythms, this track tells the story of someone who has fallen, burned, and risen stronger than ever—like a phoenix among the stars.

* Music composed by: Freddie Maier  
* Lyrics & vocal melody by: Stefanie K  :soundcloud.com/stefanie-kisamore/tracks
*Presented by: MTM Productions

Every failure becomes fuel. Every tear, a spark.  
"From The Ash" reminds us that even in our darkest moments, a dream can still survive—and be reignited. It’s a celebration of resilience, letting go of the past, and boldly stepping into your own power.

“No fear, no chains, no past to chase...  
Feel the power in the flame of your desire.”

We hope this song inspires you to rise again—brighter, bolder, and unbreakable.  
Thank you for listening and sharing!
