He said welcome to the city 
Of a hundred million isles
With it's arms of glass, so pretty 
Reaching higher than the eye can see 
But in it's noble silence 
Lurking far beneath the crimson sands
A bigger gear is turning against you 
Shiny clothes and cloth
Blowing in the tropic drafts 
Modular connectors
Trailing in to humble hands 
Don't lose sight of purpose 
Don't let its looks deceive
For this may be your only reprieve
You're just an ant 
Under the thumb of a ruthless hand
O to have a day of freedom 
A day of quiet without quarrel
But our rulers grow a blind eye 
While we bloody up the corals 
You'd best grab a blade to slap upon your belt
You're gonna need it 
They're too dumb to care about your truth 
Until they really see it 
I watched the crystal ball
Eat the sky among 
The ash that falls 
Among the arms that reach so tall
The ones that stripped the birds of their call
You can't tame me 
We are the sea
You won't take me 
I am the sea 
Beneath the suns golden gaze 
They weave their tales in orange haze
Building castles while the flea is fed
Dance along the waters edge
Read the footprints of the dead 
While the brutes begin to stain their hands 
Blindly reach into the maw 
You need nothing but their law 
Pour your soul into our righteous land
Your puppet strings aren't invisible 
Share a limb or fight the bulls 
Watch the world burn just because you can
He said welcome to the city
Of a hundred million isles
With its arms of glass so pretty
Reaching higher than the eye can see 
There's pictures on the walls
Of golden flower and scars
Depicting the stars that we see at night
Aren't really ours
He said welcome to the city
Of a hundred million isles
With its arms of glass so pretty
Reaching higher than the eye can see 
There's pictures on the walls
Of beasts with purple claws
Depicting the heart you have inside your chest
Isn't even yours

From August 10th to August 11th, 2024, over 1,000 creatives woke up early, clocked out of work, gathered with friends, and prepared for the 24-hour challenge to come. As submissions roll in, the day passes in the blink of an eye. Musicians put their final touches on their songs, passing around the master file for one final polish from all collaborators. Visual artists eagerly await for the few final minutes of their render to pass with no issues. All participants take one big, deep breath as they upload their files and hit "Submit". Out of 562 music submissions and 71 art submissions, 45 shining tracks and one cover design were selected and organized with care into one final album. It captures a glimpse of the evolving creativity not just of our community, but of creatives everywhere.

First and foremost, All Nighter is about joy; the payoff is well worth it, but the purpose is in the process. It's so much more than making a song or cover art with a friend—it's human connection. It's learning how to push yourself beyond your creative limits. It's taking pride in your hard work. It's meeting new people who happen to love the same musicians and artists as you. Creating what makes you happy is a joy that keeps the wheels of creativity turning; we all owe it to ourselves to love what we make, and make what we love.

All proceeds from All Nighter, Vol. 9 will be donated to the National Alliance for Eating Disorders, a charity that provides referrals, education, and support to individuals experiencing eating disorders and their loved ones.

xyzzyx, klypht. & XUNOX - Joseph Smackdown!

I had tons of fun putting this unique little two-part song together, just in time for this years Cosmic Radio Contest. Instead of the more quick and complex genres people go for in this kind of competition, I opted to do something weird and turn it into a trap beat with a goofy 808 halfway through.

Depus - Amethyst Geode

When the metamorphism of rock mass becomes the only measure of the passage of time, time is no longer perceived by living things. It will become sharp and hard, turning into water dripping from the tip of the stone, grinding the surface of the crystal bit by bit.

Crystallization is an extremely long ritual. However, millions of years later, perhaps this silent crystal cave will be illuminated by an artificial light source, and the crystal at that time will absorb the spectrum of countless beams of light until only a hint of purple remains. This new color instantly sweeps away the darkness of the entire cave, making life unable to take its eyes off this crystal-clear beauty.

People explore, people listen, and people translate the sound of this silent crystal. People hear the crisp sound that can be oscillated in the needle-like crystal even if it is just a light tap.
