Why go beyond this face 
To no longer replace and only embrace this soul
It kinda likes it…
You’ll find it might fit...

You can’t grow while running from this
Down clenching your fist,
Your hot head is too mystical
Look for the light switch
Turn on your life with it

Light up the other side
Light up the other side
I wonder when your rem you really find your six feet ten
I wonder
Your walking thunder
So bright eyed
You ponder why
Every inch of you really touches the sky
There’s no need to wonder when your rem
There really are no limits man
I’m under your walking thunder

I know to look to this place
Search every last little trace
Find why all’s interlaced with the cold
Look for the light switch
Turn on your life with it.


Light up the other side
Light up the other side
I wonder when your rem you really find your six feet ten
I wonder
Your walking thunder
So bright eyed
You ponder why
Every inch of you really touches the sky
There’s no need to wonder when your rem
there really are no limits man
I’m under your walking thunder

The “catch your breath” project got me thinking. All living things on this planet breathe, at least in one form or another, with some of us breathing in what others breathe out and vice versa. In that regard breathing is a kind of planetary feedback loop, constantly inhaling and exhaling. So, that inspired the first step in setting up my sonic palette: patching my “Barp 2500” to establish a slow oscillation. The output was fed into a tape looper effect on the Zoia which was then sent into the Cosmos, which were routed via a patch pay so that they fed back into each other. The combined audio was sent to my mixer, where additional feedback was added via the aux sends. After importing this into Logic, motion effects were used to create various forms of spatial movement. The final touch involved manually adding fade in and outs which became further and further apart and, eventually falling into silence when the breathing finally stops.

"We shall forget by day, except

The moments when we choose to play
The imagined pine, the imagined jay."

The Man with the Blue Guitar is a poem published in 1937 by Wallace Stevens. It is divided into thirty-three brief sections, or cantos. In the poem, an unnamed "they" says, of the titular man, "you do not play things as they are", sparking a prolonged meditation on the nature of art, performance, and imagination.

Improvisational psychedelic journeys recorded in Vilnius, Lithuania as part of Bunkersesh project.

Bunkersesh is an underground music project that was based in Vilnius, Lithuania 2022-2023 exploring the world of psychedelic atmosphere. The name bunkersesh comes from the location where this music community formed and created their musical haven - a real bunker in the centre of Vilnius. This is where musicians of different prisms found deep connection through the full spectrum of sonic creation, often exploring memories of ancient tradition, inevitable psychedelia, unsettling atmospheres - all expressed through a futuristic synthesis in the feel and groove of the music that finds them.
