Listen to the music echo tonight on my eye
So far away deep in the peaceful mountains
lets go to that divine place
~Sufi mystic poem

Moonless Nile (David Starfire Remix)

CROWN OF THE STATIC is an album about carrying the weight of pain that never really fades. The “static” is the noise inside — trauma, grief, loss — the kind of hurt that settles deep and never quiets. Surviving what should’ve ended you, you’re left wearing a crown made of that same pain, a reminder you can’t escape.

The music blends heavy industrial metal with dark electronic textures, reflecting the tension between chaos and control, silence and noise. It’s an honest look at what it means to live with your scars — feeding the sickness, trapped in the static, but still here.

This is an album for those who know survival isn’t always victory, and that sometimes the crown you wear is forged from the very things you hoped to leave behind.

MORE THAN ANYTHING

Right By You

Obsidian is lustrous volcanic glass; molten lava that cooled very quickly. Obsidian has no boundaries or limitations, as a result it works extremely fast and with great power. Obsidian is truth-enhancing, merciless in exposing flaws, weaknesses and blockages - nothing can be hidden. Obsidian points out how to ameliorate all destructive and dis-empowering conditions, impels us how to grow and lend solid support.

Lyrics:
Wind she whispers to me~
Through the leaves she’s calling,
Breathing into the fading light.
May she spark up my flame,
Speaking sweet yet potent
Timeless wisdom in every sigh.
Deeply pulled into me,
Opening to receive.
Oh, she sets us ablaze,
Dancing on our edges,
And we sway gently with her tide.
The transmission she brings
Is of love and oneness
And is peaked by her warning cry.
Deeply pulled into me,
Opening to receive. ~
I wish you well on your way to light. 🌟

Alam Khan and Eligh navigate through the mind, body, and soul with their latest Grand Tapestry album, Tides. Released on Gravitas Recordings, Tides reflects the tides of change that the human race, planet, and cosmos are presently experiencing via six original works and three bonus instrumentals. Through further exploration of traditional Indian instruments, Grand Tapestry weaves a distinctive sound that synthesizes cutting edge hip-hop aesthetics into sacred, conscious beats.
 
Featuring Raaginder on the violin and Kamaljeet Ahluwalia on the santoor, “Seagulls” encircle the beach shore while mankind studies the notion of time and its influence on love. Pensive soundscapes and contemplative rap greet the approaching “Tides” as a guitar, sarod, and cello engage in a powerful, soul-stirring takeover. “Believe” acknowledges the depths of emotions that exist through lively beats and passionate lyricism. Enlisting Jay Gandhi on the bansuri and Zumbi of Zion-I, Grand Tapestry encourages listeners to let the mind go with the medicine through wavy illuminations in “Radiant.” “Youth” is a transformative narrative around the permanence of love and the wonders of the unknown future. Colin Brown joins on the piano for the finale’s virtuous “Iman Kalyan (Evening Raga),” where authentic tanpura and sarod instrumentals return Tides to the ocean.
