All For You

|||More Thank You Care To Admit|||
From the album White Noise + Releases October 15 2025 on all major streaming platforms +
Future Garage meets ambient in this deeply contemplative track. Somewhere in between the lines, there lies a space where light and darkness mix... where the waves of heavy droning synth bass wash upon the sparking shores of light hearted synth melodies. Where echoing vocals reverberate within an undefined space and time... Where we realise, that sometimes we feel more than we care to admit.

||| We're Square |||
From the album White Noise 
+ Releases 15 October 2025 on all major streaming platforms +
A downtempo, ambient soundtrack, exploring the subtle nature of things...
Sometimes we take things and people for granted.
Sometimes we scatter our energy too far
And fail to appreciate that which is closest to us..
Things get dirty / broken / cracked from lack of care
And before you know it, that prize you once valued has become something ugly.
Sometimes neglect hurts more than a person will show...
They will just turn their back,
Walk away
And disappear quietly from your life.
No drama,
No words,
Just silence. 

Like a piece of slow decay
Slow
Decay

You can't lose what you don't have
You can't lose what you don't have anyway

Slow
Decay

We're Square

An exploration into a dark forest in the psyche, where the shadows grow tall... 
This darkwave track is inspired by a form of ego death that occurs through enduring prolonged solitude. This isolation may be chosen or thrown upon a person.. either way, there comes a moment of clarity that shines through the silence... and once this clarity is known, there is no turning back.

Lyrics:
I bow before you (x2)
Unworthy and broken
By life and living
Tired of giving
Tired of trying
Bent and crying
Dying
Slowly dying (x2)

But now I'm flying
Flying home to you
It's true
My love
🤍

Image: Optics: spectra of various substances. Colour aquatint by R.H. Digeon, ca. 1868.

Lyrics
The feeling of being is a sort of spectrum. Just as light is at one end red, and at the other end violet. And you have to have these extremes in order to have colour at all, in order to know light.
So you see, likewise, we have to have the experience that there is somebody else, something else going on, altogether out of our control, in order to have the experience of being me.

The feeling of being is a sort of spectrum.
Why do you think you have to have something to depend on?
So, we get finally, not quite finally, to the void.
That which is void is precisely the world of form. That which is precisely form is the void.
And.. what then?
When you get to the void, there is an enormous and unbelievable sense of relief. That's Nirvana.

You mustn't cling to the void. You have to void the void. And so, the void of non-void is the great state, as it were.
The feeling of being is a sort of spectrum.

You cannot nail a peg into the sky. And so, to be a man of the sky, a man of the void, is also called a man not depending on anything.
And when you're not hung on anything, you are the only thing which isn't hung on anything, which is the universe.
🤍 Alan Watts

From the album White Noise

A Darkwave  soundtrack about depression ... or as we call it, walking the Black Dog 
...
I hope, if you are walking the Black Dog, that your walk leads you to a place of strength and deeper understanding.
I hope that you can find that place,
The part, deep down and buried under all the expectations
That understands that
Pain
Is just another form of pressure
Turning you into a beautiful diamond

And I hope your dog is friendly
And somewhat well trained
Mine was / is more of a werewolf
But I have learned to love it, all the same

"He owed his foresight of the horror that was to come to the visits of the black dog."
- Winston Churchill

Everything

||| Blind Trust |||
From the album White Noise + Releases 15 October 2025 on all major streaming platforms +
Dedicated to all those who have ridden the trauma train 

Trust
noun
Firm belief in the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing; confidence or reliance.
"trying to gain our clients' trust; taking it on trust that our friend is telling the truth."
The condition and resulting obligation of having confidence placed in one.
"violated a public trust."
One in which confidence is placed.
- The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition

Once broken, trust is often irreparable...
We place our trust in a corrupt society / government / people / technology
(Thus becoming the guinea pigs of behavioural engineering / manipulation)
We are gaslit
Being lied to is normal
We are programmed to believe that we are weak / not enough
We are taught to seek outside ourselves
We are whittled away / divided / disengaged / enslaved
We choose to give our power away due to fear

We allow this

Ignorance is not an excuse

Rise up
Claim your power
Find / know yourself
Reject the narrative
Pain is power
Don't run from it
You are the creator of your experiences
You need nothing but faith in yourself
In you are all things
All possibilities
Be real
At any cost
The cost of illusion is lament
Be a true and trustworthy human being
The rewards are beyond description

Do you trust yourself
To live an authentic life?

Blind Trust

Watch the video: https://youtu.be/UUWMRv_sRh0

A dream pop excursion into the meaning of love...
Have you ever said those three words without meaning them?
Or ever heard them, but knew they were a lie?
Whispered without care, tossed into the void as a gesture of placation...
A preoccupation 
A mental vacation

A ticket to easy street
Or manipulation...

Actions always speak louder than words 🖤

Lyrics:

I used to think you had a heart
But now I know it fell apart
The emptiness you gave to me
Some cheap apology

I love you
(I love you)

I Love You

||| Not Cruel Enough ||| A darkwave soundtrack, inspired by the dark side of human nature.
From the album White Noise 
+ Listen on Spotify +
https://open.spotify.com/track/2hEzROxnURyGb2yIYkVYFg

From my experience, some people dwell in a state of inner poverty. They are poor in character, in spirit, and in mind. 
These people are inherently cruel.
They cannot reciprocate love.
They are lacking in empathy.
They are the takers.
🖤
For those of use who are not like this, it is important to recognise these types of people and to protect ourselves from them.
Don't be fooled by their charms.
The red flags are always there to see, if you have the courage to look.
We will always be their source of parasitic satisfaction until we can see it.
🖤
This song is dedicated to those who are not like them.
To those who are not cruel enough to endure these kind of people and the sick society that is churning them out.
🖤
Stand in your power
Know your worth
You are beautiful 
Because you are kind

Not Cruel Enough

|| Ataraxia ||

[at-uh-rak-see-uh]
noun

Philosophy.
a state of freedom from emotional disturbance and anxiety, especially as an ongoing condition of soul-fulfilling attainment; unconditional tranquility.
I’m not looking to achieve ataraxia—I just want a week (life) away from the daily grind.
+
(Sometimes things are best when reimagined)
+
Freedom is a state of mind
Happiness is a concept
You can create the life you love
Take control
Slay those demons
Break the bonds (addictions / fears) that enslave you
+
Embrace creation
End (self) destruction
+
Empower yourself 
Seize the moment
The time is now

Soft Ghost

||| Eternity |||
A darkwave / EBM track exploring the benefits of shadow work, being the process of exploring and integrating the unconscious parts of personality that may be repressed or rejected, often referred to as the "shadow self." This practice aims to increase self-awareness, heal emotional wounds, and promote personal growth by acknowledging and accepting all aspects of oneself, including those that are uncomfortable or hidden.

Open your mind to savage beats, pulsing synth bass and echoes in the abyss, while minimalistic spoken vocals guide you through the shadows.

lyrics
Fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens...
There is no life
No life
Without its hunger
But then you come
And I am filled with wonder
Sometimes
I think
I glimpse eternity...
The darkness deepens
I glimpse eternity
In the silence
Until you come
I glimpse eternity
Until you come
In the silence
Until you come

Official Soundcloud for Dark Electro Producer Scratch Kelly 
West Coast, Tasmania 
Darkwave + Dark Ambient + Wave + Experimental + Industrial

Scratch Kelly constructs a synthesis of dark ambient, industrial and wave music. She creates a diverse sonic landscape, from brutal and unforgiving industrial sounds to dreamy dark wave territory marked by melodic synth bass so deep you could drown in it. Her music is designed to bring a sense of realisation, contemplation and healing to the darker places of the psyche.
First surfacing in 2018 with as part of the Hobart based duo Soundtractor, and moving onto solo music production in 2022 with a series of self-released EP's and albums. Her work is heavily influenced by darkwave and industrial electro, but her  inclusion of complex, often experimental rhythms and emotive melodies sets her apart from the rest of the dark electronic scene. She has received her greatest exposure so far on radio and at the Unconformity Festival.
