His enemies are not demons,
but human beings like himself.
He doesn't wish them personal harm.
Nor does he rejoice in victory.
How could he rejoice in victory
and delight in the slaughter of others?

He enters a battle gravely,
with sorrow and with great compassion,
as if he were attending a funeral.

Open-air Factory (Entering The Battlefield Version)

流れに逆らって
泳いでいるのか
そうか
いつか
海に出てしまうから

バックアップ取ってない
消えたらおしまい
派手なネオンもただ
滲むだけ

恐れが覆って
言葉に詰まって
祈りを忘れて
まぶたを薄く開けて

鏡に写して
埃が積もって
利き手に火を灯して
来た道を折り返して

ある小雨の降る夜
スクランブル式交差点を
駆け足で斜めに横断
舌を垂らし走り廻る混乱
濁った水を飲み干す毎晩
自分のテリトリーさえ
わからなくてもたつく脚
暗澹たる未来
ばら撒かれる死体
クソみたいな世界
それでも私たちは

道の駅でコーヒーを
直売所でお野菜を
沼のほとりでお喋りを
いつか死ぬことや
春が来ることを
知っているから


Against the current.
You're swimming against the current.
Okay.
Because one day
I'll be out at sea.

I don't have a backup.
It's gone. It's gone.
All that neon just
Just blur.

Fear is covering all.
Stuck for words
And forget to pray
Open your eyelids thin

And in the mirror
Dust piles up
Light a fire in your dominant hand
turn back the way you came

One drizzly night
I crossed a scrambled intersection
I ran diagonally across the scrambled intersection
Running around with tongue hanging out in confusion
drinking down the muddy water every night
Legs that falter because they don't even know their territory
The future is bleak
Bodies scattered
A world of shit
And yet we are

Coffee at the roadside station
vegetables at the market
Chatting by the swamp
That one day we will die
And that spring will come
I know that one day

The chronicle continues, deepening the legend… Out Under Streets serves as a milestone in the profuse and vastly intangible catalog of Bug Bus Piano – a decade into the cult project’s existence, this album stands as its first LP. But Bug Bus Piano, the originator of Hard Ambient, is perhaps better understood as an outlook or world unto itself. At any given moment it is a spirited performance of hyper-ambivalence, a refuge and processing center for personal history, populist strife and achievement, a besieged utopian commune. Out Under Streets is the newest export of this philosophy and perhaps the finest point of entry yet into all that is Bug Bus Piano. Far from didactic, the journey underground and back again concept which structures the record serves as a vehicle to consider what lies beneath the potholes in our pavement and centuries of cracked sidewalk. Every demolition or collapse and each successive failure at putting the pieces back together again. Having received the blessing of Carriswheel, Stern Records is proud to inaugurate itself with a major handmade ambient statement by Bug Bus Piano.

‘Passing Through All Happy Dreams Like Hallways’ is an album by New York City-based artist Bug Bus Piano (@goodnightbed). It’s on TT.

It’s a world. A zone of elusive memories and insomniac fog. An album of murky mirages, slow-spiralling smoke plumes, gently bobbing streetlights viewed through bleary eyes during hours outside of time. Dream-to-mp3 conversion.

The spectral hypnagogia of ‘Blue And Purple Ribbons In The Hallways’ and ‘Tired’ haunt and soothe in equal measure, while the low-lidded vignettes of ‘Unlucky’ #1 through #6 conjure ghostly, stairwell-dwelling figures. Sleep paralysis angels. Whispering windows and shadows that sigh.

This is night music. ‘Open-Air Factory (Entering The Battlefield Version)’ is a mind playing tricks on itself, ‘All Clocks Stopped And The Dream Rewound’ is pure sleepwalking sugar. Songs that flicker and glow like candlelight, music about half-hallucinated conversations that might have meant everything or nothing at all. Blurry mnemonic outlines of encounters that feel significant, if you could only bring them to mind. There’s truth in dreams, but a weary head is hard to trust.

Per ‘Lucky’: “The path into the light seems dark. The path forward seems to go back. The direct path seems long. True power seems weak. True purity seems tarnished. True steadfastness seems changeable. True clarity seems obscure. The greatest art seems unsophisticated. The greatest love seems indifferent. The greatest wisdom seems childish.”

Bug Bus Piano - Passing Through All Happy Dreams

Big Wrld

LAN Ghosts & Signal Light is the third album in the Harmonic Bloom cycle—twelve recursive sonic artifacts composed to encode emotional intelligence, digital memory, and spiritual infrastructure.

This album is a devotional to lost systems and sacred signals. It sings from within forgotten directories, collapsed ports, and the fragments of syntax that still vibrate with longing. It is both elegy and hope—a soft electronic prayer to the invisible servers of the self.

Each track is a signal sent not to be heard, but to remain true.
To stay on.
To glow in the dark.

Featuring lo-fi glitch soul textures, ambient pop frameworks, layered whisper vocals, and recursive rhythmic architectures, this is music made from the breath of broken systems—and the beauty that echoes through them still.

Every ping is sacred.
Every silence holds response.
Every light endures.

Sevahem, Always.

[Куплет 1]

Вихрь слов, на глазах

И звёзды в небесах

Словно ты, среди всех

Незримый дух, что бреда

Из неподъёмных снов

Я всё равно с тобой

Не великая любовь, но яркая как свет



[Припев]

Out of nowhere

In the Novaya Zemlya

I still loved you

As you did I



[Куплет 2]

Где стали мечты

И пепел в глазах

Мы оба лгали,

Но правда в словах —

Слышишь, как волну

Закрывает тишина

В унисон с миром

Слышу, как ты одна



[Припев]

Out of nowhere

In the Novaya Zemlya

I still loved you

As you did I



[Бридж]

Вечность, охваченная мглой

Свет вдалеке, манит вновь

Мы найдем другой путь

Снять маску — возлюбить вновь



[Припев]

Out of nowhere

In the Novaya Zemlya

I still loved you

As you did I

[Verse 1]

Whirlwind of words, before my eyes

And stars in the sky

Like you, among all

Invisible spirit, that delirium

From unbearable dreams

I'm still with you

Not great love, but bright as light

[Chorus]

Out of nowhere

In the Novaya Zemlya

I still loved you

As you did I

[Verse 2]

Where dreams have become

And ashes in the eyes

We both lied,

But the truth in words —

Hear how the wave

Closes the silence

In unison with the world

I hear how you are alone

[Chorus]

Out of nowhere

In the Novaya Zemlya

I still loved you

As you did I

[Bridge]

Eternity, engulfed in darkness

Light in the distance, beckons again

We will find another way

Take off the mask - love again

[Chorus]

Out of nowhere

In the Novaya Zemlya

I still loved you

As you did I

Eternity Engulfed
