En Vogue

I was scared of the Twilight Zone series when I was little. I tried to mimic the 60's TV vibe, orchestration: largely NI Kontakt. I believe this episode deals with coming to accept oneself, even if one is a mannequin

The After Hours, Jamuary2025

Zerithor
As you walk the treacherous path ruled by chaos, a faint glimmer of possibility emerges from the ruins of a collapsing world.
This track traces the fragile line between destruction and renewal, despair and hope—a sonic journey through shifting shadows.
With unsettling low-end textures and intricate rhythms reflecting turmoil, delicate melodies weave through to suggest a new horizon.
Olttaoff’s Zerithor invites listeners into an introspective labyrinth where, beyond the chaos, doors to unknown potential quietly open.

Into the Abyss (Clean Version) (2025) – Calling out fake friends
At some point in life, we all come across fake friends, who pretend to care and drag you into the abyss. The lyrics channel the raw frustration of being used, betrayed and misled. "Into The Abyss" is a cathartic scream for justice, a metalcore song that pulls no punches, when it comes to calling out toxic people.
The Clean Version is made for radio stations and playlists that don't accept harsh curses.

Thomas Utzel: composition, synthesizer
Daniel Hiatt: vocals, guitars, lead guitar

Into the Abyss (Clean Version) [feat. Daniel Hiatt]

Recorded at Amplified Studios, Carlsbad CA July 2025
Drums - Marc Polit
Lead solo: Tristan Brooks

LYRIC
It took me half my life 
To finally gain insight
I only saw myself as others did
And I mostly stayed hid

I spent half my life
Upset and uptight
I learned it’s stupid to walk on eggshells
Every egg eventually breaks
And if that takes you half your life
That’s what it takes

Can't say exactly when
I knew what I didn’t then
A dawning realization
An opening of the mind
It only took me half my life for me to find

Time isn’t playing
It’s counting the days
If you don’t know what I’m saying
(Well) you won’t be young always
You sure won’t!

As the years accrue
In the remaining few
I won’t let regret confine me
I’ll amble slowly toward the light
Let the past all fade to black
I can’t go back
I love this last half of my life
So that’s all right


Half My Life

A song idea in Finnish language - a short demo - summer vibes but not really - Lyrics below: both FI / EN

Sound of rain - my tears for OZZY ... even though he said... No More Tears - RIP.

"Katson ulos, kaikki kaunista, sisälläni tyhjyys harmaana.
En tiedä mistä minne meen, meen sinne minne tie vieneen
On mulla vain hetki tää, ei muuta mitään ihmeempää...

Katson ulos, kaikki kaunista, sisälläni tyhjyys harmaana.
En tiedä mistä minne meen, meen sinne minne tie vieneen
On mulla vain hetki tää, ei muuta mitään ihmeempää..."

Translation of Lyrics

"I look outside, everything is beautiful, inside me only grey emptiness. I don't know where I'm going, I'm going where the road takes me. I only have this moment, nothing else to build on.

I look outside, everything is beautiful, inside me only grey emptiness. I don't know where I'm going, I'm going where the road takes me. I only have this moment, nothing else to build on"

vain hetki tää

EVOLUTION

Experimental artist ex.sses makes her debut on traverse with 4 body - a 4-track EP that embodies her bass led-palette of sounds and fuses heavy bass, broken drums and textural sounds. 4 body imagines the body shifting and mutating though diﬀerent states,
breaking apart and coming back together to find itself anew. We are drawn into landscapes where the voice whispers from the edges asking the listener to submerge themselves.

Australian and Paris-based artist Gillielove contributes with a remix that depicts to the perfection their love for hypnotic and deep grooves, broken percussions and mutant basslines.

The Empire Of New Beat

Nostromo - The Empire Of New Beat

Lyrics: 

i’ve always felt alone in a crowd 
always been harder to breathe than to drown 
but i've made it this far, i don't know how 

i’ve been dreaming since i was a child
but i’ve been sleepless, trying not to go wild
and piss off the people that love me somehow

somedays i feel
like no one really knows me
what if they pack up their bags and go?

I feel 
like no one really knows me
what if they pack and go? 

no, no, access denied
don’t look straight into my eyes
i'm dead inside, flies are buzzing

i ripped open the sky, 
i’m smoking the stars
i’m built for the night, the moon is rising

i've always felt comfort in the dark
always been easier to be, 
when no one knows who you are

but i need redemption, 
true connections

it's been a nightmare since i was a child
but i’ve been dreaming, trying not to go wild
but wake up screaming, i don't know how

somedays i feel
like no one really knows me
what if they pack up their bags and go?

I feel 
like no one really knows me
what if they pack and go? 

no, no, access denied
don’t look straight into my eyes
i'm dead inside, flies are buzzing

i ripped open the sky, 
i’m smoking the stars
i’m built for the night, the moon is rising

is it better to be alone?
hide below my skeletons
is it safer, to keep myself closed?

am i doing it all wrong?
is it weaker to stay strong?
should i stop closing off?

is it better to be alone?
is it smart, to protect my core?
stay small, inside my bones
(flies are buzzing) 

am i doing it all wrong?
aren't we alive to feel it all?
aren't we here to feel it all?

am i doing it all wrong?
aren't we alive to feel it all?
aren't we here to feel?

(flies are buzzing) 

ripped open the sky, 
i’m smoking the stars
i’m built for the night, the moon is rising

(flies are buzzing)

The bass line in this drew blood! Schweeeeet. This is always a good sign as generally you are wearing your finger a slightly different way. I think that's true here for my bass playing. I'm not a well versed bass player but getting there finally with it 🧬🎶

Tempo of 161 BPM borrowed from Sit Down Stand Up by Radiohead which is track 2 off the album Hail to the Thief


"Go home, look in the mirror and give yourself a kiss" Damien Dempsey (Popular Irish folk artist)

I saw Damien perform live in Dublin a while back and he said that on stage. I've thought about it a lot since. We have ourselves and can't change that so we really need to start loving that reflection no matter what stares back at us. That's what the universe gave us so it's always .. Perfect

You Reflect Perfect

Music mainstream
The world mind web of subliminal dream
Quiet control
Mind melding meme
To be tuned or to be not
Pure positive shock this scene

Feed the feather fuel
Merge winds with mystic
Perfect pedestals unrealistic
The look
Make up perfection
We give the masses blind reflections
Mirror muted free with a lack of love for "me"

Your reflection
Always perfection
Your reflection
Always perfection

Escape is easy
No dopamine drought
No pain finds feeling
Each day scrolled out
Device extensions
Limbs of tech
Robot wars for eye contact
Moderation manifest flora
Tune in cause soon direct access box of pandora
Ads direct to your brain
They already conduct most of your 'sane'
Rear projected square light
Chip in your head
We'd want to know the keys before decisions lost instead

Mighty, your reflection
Always perfection

Take all belief and direct it to you
Too hold some for your Earthling crew
Let's not deal in absolutions
Unity
Union
Yearns for trueness
Absolute stops the hunt for new honest
Fluid is found
Unknown next stage of forest

Coded base pairs
Twist on the double
Force field flushed darkness
Tackle some trouble

Your reflection
Always perfection
Your reflection
Always perfection

Who are you all?
Who are you all?
Who are you all?
Who are you all?
Who are you all?
Who are you all?

Rear projected square light,
Decisions almost gone,
Fear make you forget your fright.
Fear protected inside,
Chip in your head (hand),
Your Merovingian right!
The matrix to fight...

🪞You Reflect Perfect 🪞

Originally written in 2003 as a sharp-edged guitar rock song, Metamorphosis has now been reborn in 2025 as a dark electro-industrial track.
This song tells of escape, violence, and the collapse of ethics—reflecting the transformation of both the music itself and the artist behind it.
A document of metamorphosis across two decades.

2003年にギターロックとして生まれた楽曲「Metamorphosis」を、2025年の今、インダストリアル／ダークエレクトロとして再構築しました。
テーマは「逃走」「暴力」「倫理観の崩壊」。
20年以上を経て変容した音楽と自分自身、その軌跡を刻み込んだ一曲です。

[OUT NOW] Metamorphosis

Conversations (2025) Remastered

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
