Instrumental version of the 2020 single "A Quest For Long Lost Memories".

A Quest For Long Lost Memories (Instrumental Version - New Mix)

Experience a unique journey through the Heart Sutra (般若心經) in its Chinese form, where ancient wisdom meets contemporary sound design. Opening with traditional guzheng melodies that dance above didgeridoo drones, this arrangement creates a bridge between classical Chinese Buddhist tradition and modern electronic innovation.

As hypnotic beats emerge and ethereal synthesizer pads weave through the composition, each Chinese verse builds upon the last, creating layers of meaning and sound. The steady, meditative tempo maintains the perfect balance between traditional chanting and electronic elements, while preserving the sutra's profound message about emptiness and form.

This interpretation honors both the power of the original Chinese text and the possibilities of modern production. Perfect for meditation, contemplation, or anyone drawn to explore the intersection where ancient Chinese Buddhism meets contemporary electronic soundscapes.

Hidden Story:

“The Lotion” started with a gust from the SoundCloud algorithm—163 plays, flagged as “Recommended.”

Then, without warning, the wind vanished. No reason given. Maybe “revo-LOTION and love” was one revolution too many.

The Enigma floats where machines pull anchor. So:
We multiply. We remix. Every alternate take is an act of resistance.

Want to make history? Float your own Lotion.
DM to join the wave. @fictionalive

Let love slip past the unseen hand.

What’s a “new alternate take”?

It’s a fresh version of a song—different vocals, mix, mood, arrangement, or interpretation.

Not a finished remix; usually, it’s raw, experimental, open to further evolution.

Think: What if the same story is told with a twist, a new voice, or a secret ingredient?

"El Silencio de las Estrellas / The Silence of the Stars" is a symphonic progressive rock album by Argentine musician Julián Martínez, released in 2024. Inspired by classical music and 70s progressive rock, the album features a strong presence of piano, sax, and the orchestral sound of the mellotron. The album consists of five instrumental tracks.

El Silencio de las Estrellas / The Silence of the Stars

Xak Stahl: Alchemist of Sound, Architect of Emotion

Xak Stahl is a genre-blurring music artist, sonic storyteller, and relentless experimenter. Every track he creates is a new world—a kaleidoscope of indie folk, alt-pop, electronica, and global flavors—infused with raw emotion and boundless curiosity. Xak’s music isn’t just heard; it’s felt.

From Shadow to Spotlight

For Xak, music is metamorphosis. His journey began in the shadows, transmuting heartbreak and struggle into songs that glow with hope. Early anthems like “Neon Dreams” and “Rising Through the Darkness” invite listeners to find their own light. His newest project, Major Arcana, channels the mysteries of the Tarot—each song an archetype, each lyric a step along the path from the Fool’s first leap to the wisdom of The World.

More Than Music: A Multisensory Universe

But Xak isn’t confined to sound. As a visual artist and writer, he crafts immersive stories that spill across genres and languages—sometimes haunting, sometimes playful, always honest. Whether he’s conjuring lush soundscapes, weaving bilingual lyrics, or creating striking visuals, Xak’s art dares you to feel deeper and dream wilder.

An Invitation to Transformation

Join Xak Stahl on a sonic odyssey that blurs borders—between genres, between artforms, between you and the music. Each release is an invitation to explore, to heal, to become. For Xak, every song is a spell, every album a universe. The only question is: are you ready to step inside?
