"Colonizer" was recorded as a DIY project in Scot Sier's garage, utilizing a laptop and other project studios located in Los Angeles. The song beautifully encapsulates the essence of an epic space journey, depicting humanity's exploration and colonization of planets in a distant, uncharted future.

With a passion for social justice and a deep concern for the state of our world, Scot Sier has crafted an LP that is more than just music, it’s a call to action. Each song on “Space And Other Things” has been carefully written and produced to deliver universal messages that address critical issues such as free speech, human rights, rising inequality, racism, and climate change. 

The album’s overarching goal is to inspire meaningful change and promote unity through shared values. Through, “Space And Other Things” Scot Sier invites listeners to join him on a journey towards a more enlightened world, one where we come together to address the challenges facing humanity. Get ready to be inspired, uplifted and energized as you embark on this musical adventure.

Colonizer Lyrics

Hordes of men walking
They trail the stars
Their sons and their daughters
Shipped off to Mars
The suns fading embers
Appear in the sky
The final man standing
He’s left Earthly light

And he waves at the sun
With a tear in his eye
His spacecraft adrift in the night
The future as never looked so bright

Singular conscience 
Has wired the stars
The nerve centers humming
With dreams from afar
One thoughts a lifetime
Alone in the night
The universe breathing
He enters the light

And he waves at the moon 
With a grin in his eye
His spacecraft adrift in the night
The future has never looked so bright

And if there’s no turning back
And if your mind forgets the past
And if your ship implodes
I’ll see you on the path

He looks into the eyes
Of the monitor screen
The chosen one smiles
And awaits his seed
Four years on a journey
To the sacred land
The colony awaits
With a master plan

His journey completed
He’s home safe and sound
In the arms of the chosen one
The colony found
His conscious uploaded
They map out his genes
The program receiver
Decodes his seed

And he waves at the sun
With a tear in his eye
His spacecraft adrift in the night
The future as never looked so bright

Rusty Cadillac 
Album: Dreaming In Vapors (2026)

What began as a simple pedal steel cowboy song called, “Rusty Cadillac”, turned into an epic 70’s Southern California lo-desert-rock album called, “Dreaming In Vapors”. A journey through trauma, forgotten towns, dystopian themes, AI faction robots, spiritual reckoning and late-night soul confessionals. - Somewhere between Iggy Pop’s Stooges period, Bowie’s “Diamond Dogs”, Sly Stone’s “There’s A Riot Going On”, and Springsteen’s “Wrecking Ball”, this project paints a fractured fresco of who we’ve become - and who we might still be.

Receive the Shine Tuning

This tuning came to me in a dream — a message of healing and transformation that became the foundation of Shining Light, a song about reincarnation and creative awakening.

I'd love to send you the high-res download as a gift.

By sharing your email, you'll also be invited into the deeper unfolding of:

New music releases — before anyone else hears them

Creator DNA — a movement to protect artistic authenticity in the age of AI

Shine Tuning developments — including binary beat applications and meditative tools

About Shine Tuning

I resampled the Shine guitar tuning I received in a dream and transformed its harmonic field into a continuous sound bath loop designed for:

Meditation - Trauma release - Emotional grounding - Calming the nervous system
Creative flow states - Deep breathing and parasympathetic restoration

Shine Tuning’s irregular interval geometry creates slow, soothing beat patterns and a uniquely warm harmonic envelope. These frequencies naturally settle the body, soften mental tension, and create a felt sense of inner spaciousness.

This sound bath is not "music" in the traditional sense —
It is a resonant field: A space to breathe into for harmonic recursion and restoration.

I often find that humming gently with the frequency enhances the effect.
May this vibration serve your peace, your breath, and your return.

With light, love, and joy,
– Scot
