Hi Sarah, very cool collaboration! Loved it!👍😎✌🏼

Love this call to break free from mental chains! Great sounds, awesome vocals!! You guys rock! We really dig it!! 🫶

I think this song is psychedelic...wonderful collaboration‼️

This is the best section of a song I've been involved in ever. It torturously hopes we connect to the core of the Earth properly and for me that's a really cool metaphor for becoming one with the planet. The Earth's core connection is LIVE 🌍

That building drum loop is ace! Loving this collab ❤️

Sounds awesome - what a lovely way to create!

i'm not sure, but.....i think i just had a religious experience

mighty power stuff!! I don't know why, but the image helps me get into this even more.

structured surge

Invert the tree
strung with tiny crosses and stars.
A wintery embrace.
All edges frozen.
Atmosphere in fear.
Molecules hesitant.
Roots reach to sky black.
Inhale the dream chemical.

Unstable ratio.
Awake still.

Sympathize the radio static.
Dig down the leaves.
Find the interference
down the herbicide path.

She hovers again, in memory.
Pale chin on the asphalt.
Breath ripples the reflections.
Follow the shambled row.

Hear them from open windows.
Still tadpoles evolving.

Unslept dawn of mockingbirds.
The light bleaches meaning
to blind headlights nocturnal.
Dissipate steam and silhouettes.

Disorient the crossroads
and return with the rain.
Step back to retrograde.
Some satellite prediction.

Return darkness' bloom
to the shelf with the cigarettes
and where death, so sweet
integrates
at the edge of creation.

With things so bleak and frightening at the moment, I thought a wee fun country number might bring a smile or two, for a moment anyway.

I started making this piece with the intention of it being a set of songs that could stand on their own as well as being an open collaboration, but then it took on a life of its own, and things just got out of hand from there, lol! 

But I still managed to control myself and didn’t add too many samples though, haha! 

I was listening to 1985 and 1986 hip hop singles when making this so….

You can download this for free as well as some of the unmixed stems on Bandcamp. The lyrics can also be found on Bandcamp since SC didn’t provide enough space in the song info. I reached my description limit!

Feel free to treat it as an open collaboration if you like. The song list, BPMs, and time signatures are listed below.

Lyrics

Emergence, one consciousness leant
Merged, no imitation meant
Emergence, one consciousness leant
Intention sent

What do we see?
How do we do?
Resurgence like Sea
Deliver that proof
Pure positivity
Cation of conscionable use
What do we see?
How do we do?

Self control be mindset of the soul
The Spirits come clean
Good neurodiagram unfolds

Emergence, one consciousness leant
Merged, no imitation meant, Intention sent
Be Real, Be Love, Be Now
Be Water, Be life, See how

Emergence, Cationed ionization of sense
Emerged, no limitation of tense. Presence
Be Water, Be Life, See how
Be Real, Be Love, Be Now

Resurgence - Neurodivergent
Stringed theory notions - Soulful lotions
Moisturize your mind - Make real human kind
This we find when now and forever holds one timeline

Oh self control be mindset of the soul
Good Spirits come clean
Good neurodiagram unfolds
Yeah!

What do we see?
How do we do?
Be free


Emergence. Our humanity. Humans being humane... It's actually quite a selfish term when you reflect on what we mean for evolution up to this point. We are the first known beings that can reason their full existence and we have become that destroyer of natural selection from before we existed even though we have the ability to reflect on the importance of all those niches to the system itself.

This is very dangerous as we are not only affecting the climate but it looks like the balanced web of life that has built up slowly through billions of years allowing humans exist.

Gaia theory suggest that harmony and connection with everything is the way forward. We do this through endeavouring to understand this place properly and appreciation for everything. I believe in connecting with everything neuroplasticity can take over and rewire our brains to the system and a path on the greater good for all life. We need this to emerge collectively for it to flourish and become that positive beacon the present and future needs... The signs are there and we are analogies for the larger system. Just like a fake human forest is comparable but has no where near the strength of one that took millions of years and started as an amoeba... Don't insult the idea of the greater good being some confusing God wrapped thing you don't have to worry about being an atheist or agnostic. It's the greater good for a snail or you or a blade of grass and has nothing to do with anything we don't understand now.

Sending Love, Light and all good intentions to everyone.

Hello and thank you for checking out Exo

Lyrics

Time to test time
Flow in rhyme
Exo makes jail for mind matter mine
Intuitive thought
Instinctual
No messy thoughts
Divine deliverance
Placebo proof
Chooses truths
No lies emerge when this mode is heard
Thoughts are herd, interferance
The muted one won't see that reverence
Ever present of presence
At one with the mammoth
Still alive as mutated carrot

See, I am everything
So flow chooses to bring
Standing waves for sin
Handing haze the bin
The rubbish of man
No fake thinking
It's Spirit
It's Soul
It's need for good role
It's time that we saw new pathway,
New God
It's me
It's you
It's hill of trees
Truth

We see
We do
It's for new youth
It's retention
Ascension towards my younger proof
It's real want to mute the spoof
Ryhme to test ryhme
Flow divine
We are the whole Earth
It's finally lassoed from both sides
Simultaneous prize
Just by beings alive

~Soothe~

Cometh conduit
Let's dive
Earth's cored connection is live,
Thrive holding hive,
Now is live to survive,
Drive new alive


Love, Light and good intentions to you

Hello and thank you for checking out Teflon Aura

Music video Here:
https://youtu.be/q4sO1H0eeRs

Lyrics

Breathe…
Release…
Seed your relief
Call the flora and fauna
Enthral that teflon aura

It’s permeable
Your filter, control
The search is on to protect that soul
The engine is heart
It’s serviced by art
Human creation
Game, we can all play our part

Breathe…
Release…
Seed your relief
Call the flora and fauna
Enthral that teflon aura

A Teflon Aura. Water off a ducks back. In this song we imagine both positivity and negativity as something educated human beings can control. A semi permeable membrane that we control the flow of information through.

The flavour is a wish for people, including ourselves to be able to control ourselves, our feelings and the feelings we choose to project and reflect to and from other people and animals. We really do control that energy transfer and believe the planet will be better served when we are collectively an observational race of beings that have control of ourselves and leave the door always open for other people to learn from us and for us to learn from them in a positive light.

Love, Light and good intentions to you

Lyrics

An honour good human city
The virgin goddess aside snake head pretty
Howl Owl no man need take pity
Evolution to peace need not commitee
Nurture this tree of olives Poseidon
Athena power now lets transmute the poison

Worn gorgoneion to ward away evil
Instinctual power protecting all season
Stoic in mind from Zeus born full form
Draft us a plan to bring this light norm
Ominous Ares won't show us the way
Medusa mind make now peace for all's day

Hand of honour
Art of craft
New now is upon her
Dare and dazzling graft

Ominous Ares we'll show you the way
Fenrir as friend pet peaceful today

Chaos will crumble
Reason still rules
Athena and Owl
Fierce but peace food
Thankful we are for prosperity mood

Seem to be in permanent countdown mode: global warming,Trump’s tariffs, days left before the visa runs out. So I thought I’d plan an imaginary escape in this song.   https://youtu.be/WfT0n7nuGxE


Let’s start with the countdown
Whoop, whoop I’m going home
ZEHN
There’s nothing worse than Earthlings
NEUN
They have such weird chromosomes 
ACHT
They’re cruel and they’re deluded
SIEBEN
They’re fools, they’re mean, they moan
SECHS
So I’ve pimped up Elon’s spacecraft 
FÜNF
Just hope to take me home
VIER
Tune those raptor engines
DREI
Gotta fixe those propellent leaks
ZWEI
And fingers-crossed I’m blasting off 
EINS
Should be be home in about a week.
WIR HABEN ABGEHOBEN

The Countdown

I have been hearing so much AI music lately on SoundCloud and these  thoughts have been percolating with me for a while and finally they coalesced into a song. (created without the use of AI).

You got tired of struggling so hard to write a great original song
And then this amazing newfangled technology came along
Now you’re using AI to create music, and it’s a much easier process
And you’re convinced you found the ticket to achieving great success.
You tell yourself you’re a great artist because prompting takes a lot of skill
But deep down you know the AI did most of the work and you swallow the bitter pill
People complement you on your guitar playing and they tell you your voice sounds great
It makes you feel so good but you don’t ever set them straight
Those classic rockers used to write 10 or 12 good songs every couple of years
Now you’re posting two or three songs a day and hoping for a bunch of cheers
You’re rolling the musical dice, hoping you’ll come up with a catchy viral hit 
But there’s so much music flooding the internet that no one gives a shit
You tell yourself you’re a great artist because prompting takes a lot of skill
But deep down you know the AI did most of the work and you swallow the bitter pill
People complement you on your guitar playing and they tell you your voice sounds great, it makes you feel so good but you don’t ever set them straight
Some people believe we’re living in simulation and none of this is real
We’re just digital creations in a computer with the ability to feel
But even if that’s not the case, we’re quickly, heading to a place where no one’s going to be able to tell the difference.
You used strum your guitar, trying to capture lightning in a bottle and the songs that emerged came from you.
And now the songs you write with AI, what they’re saying, you don’t have a clue.
Music used to feel therapeutic, it was a window on your soul that you could share.
But now something feels missing because your songs no longer lay your heart bare.

Manifesto

We Declare:

    That the suffering in Gaza is not a distant conflict but a wound in the conscience of humanity.

    That silence and political games by so-called Western defenders of democracy are betrayal incarnate.

    That art, music, and truth must tear through walls of apathy, breaking chains with sound and spirit.

    That to remain silent is to support the erasure of life itself.

    That we rise—voices united, hearts aflame—to amplify those crushed under siege, to shatter the walls of oppression.

    That every beat, every echo, every lyric becomes a rebellion against forgetting.

    That through collective awakening, we reclaim not just Gaza’s future but the soul of humanity.

"NOTHING UNDER THE SUN IS NOT PART OF CREATION, NOR IS IT NOT CREATION ITSELF—IT'S ONLY WHAT YOU MAKE IT. NO JUDGES, NO DIVIDES—UNITY."

1. Philosophical and Metaphysical Context

This phrase operates on a profound metaphysical premise rooted in ancient and modern spiritual thought: the idea that everything within existence ("under the sun") is inherently part of creation, yet simultaneously defies a simple binary of "creation" and "non-creation." The double negation — “is not not part” and “is not not creation” — serves as a dialectical device emphasizing paradox rather than straightforward affirmation or denial.

Nothing exists outside creation’s domain. All that "is" is both a part and a reflection of the creative whole — but perhaps creation is not a static “thing.”

It touches on panentheism or even non-dualism, suggesting creation transcends our binary modes of thought.

In this sense, the phrase challenges rigid ontologies. It rejects compartmentalization — what we consider ‘created’ vs. ‘uncreated’ is a false dichotomy.

2. Existential and Constructivist Overtones

The clause “It’s only what you make it” signifies a turn from metaphysical absolutes to personal agency and interpretation.

Creation is not a fixed category but a creative, subjective, and participatory process.

Reality is texturized by human meaning-making — your perception, actions, and judgments shape what ‘is.’

This brings in vibes of existentialism and constructivism, affirming our power and responsibility in shaping the world and imbuing it with meaning.

3. The Ethics of Judgment and Division

“No judges, no divides” strikes a moral and social chord:

It calls for radical acceptance — no external or internal authority imposes judgment.

It opposes division, sectarianism, or exclusion based on arbitrary or prejudiced distinctions.
This has echoes of universalist humanism and inclusive ethics, a plea for unity beyond fractured identities, labels, or separations.

4. Final Summation: Unity as a Creational Ethos

The closing refrain “UNITY” serves as the conceptual apex:
Unity is not merely a formal condition but an existential and creational ethos, holding the paradoxical unity of all existence despite apparent differences or judgments.
It is a call to embrace multiplicity without fragmentation — wholeness that contains diversity.

Style and Rhetoric

Paradox and Double Negatives: The use of double negatives (“not not”) is daring and poetic, evoking the style of Zen koans or 
Hegelian dialectics — prompting reflection rather than offering a direct statement. It challenges the reader to dwell in ambiguity and complexity.

Capitalization and Punctuation: The em dash creates dramatic pauses, underscoring the key thematic shifts; the capitalized “UNITY” acts as a powerful, summative slogan or mantra.

Economy of Words: Despite its complexity, the phrase remains succinct, poetic, and emphatic—a hallmark of impactful philosophical proclamations.

Cultural & Literary Resonances

Biblical Allusions: “Under the sun” recalls the Book of Ecclesiastes, with its contemplations on the nature of existence. This embeds the phrase within a long tradition of existential inquiry.

Contemporary Spirituality: The phrase resonates with New Age and postmodern spiritual ideas emphasizing non-duality, co-creation, and global unity.

Political and Social Dimensions: In a world segmented by ideologies and conflicts, “no judges, no divides” can serve as a subtle political manifesto for peace and acceptance.
