Everything In Love

Once We Were Divine

||| 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

White Noise

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
🤍

This track is about those who at some point in their lives have felt lost and confused, searching for the meaning of their lives and for the path to light.

Lost In Dark

Chapter 234 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of dreams and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.

TAFFETA | 234

Original lyrics and vocals by Wildsilences

Lyrics:

As we did before
Before time stood still
Before time swallowed 
Whole this life
Between here and forever

In-between the night and you
Forever, dance and sing
Hold the line and swing from
Here to forever
Stars are holding 

I wanna hold you
I wanna love you
‘Til the end is crushing us
Bending time
I wanna sing and strum
I wanna beat a drum
I wanna be the one to

Sing you to sleep
As the rain falls down
Leaving me wondering 
Where you are
This is just a dream

Look into your mind
Open your heart and find
I’m only a star away

Only A Star Away

Human

I might as well 
be made of clay
behind closed doors
I hide away 
Hide away

HideAway

||| Everything |||
From the album White Noise + Releases 15 October 2025 on all major streaming platforms +
A contemplation on what it means to be human. Lose yourself in an immersive soundscape, built upon a solid bass foundation and decorated with subliminally suggestive vocal lines, shifting hi hats and wafting, dreamy synths. Dark chill for the world weary.

Releases on all major streaming platforms July 20.

||| 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?

Ray (https://soundcloud.com/user-364196783-552705040) and I went back to the well, and came back with this.

You Oughta See

Le son de l’amour
embrase mes jours
il touche ma peau
comme un feu nouveau

La voix de l’amour
m’appelle toujours
elle dit : Viens à moi 
Reste près de moi 

Le toucher d’amour
me brûle sans détour
ton feu frémissant
m’attire doucement

Viens, viens, beau mystère
je me perds dans ta lumière
Viens, viens, doux éclair
ton amour devient prière


Dans la nuit je tombe, je vole
ton étoile guide mon envol
infinie, ta gravité
m’attire et me fait danser

Viens, viens, beau mystère
je me perds dans ta lumière
Viens, viens, doux éclair
ton amour devient prière

Mystère… lumière… prière…
Mystère… lumière… prière…

le son de l’amour

virtual (real good)

Ton regard perdu me fais fondre 
Tu es la reine de mon monde

Sublime geisha, tu m’ensorcelles
Dans tes yeux, les promesses du ciel…

Tokyo girl, tu m’envoutes for ever
Kiss the sky, heaven in your eyes 
Dans les rues, fière tu m’échappes 
Sensation si je t’attrape…

Ton regard triste me retourne
C’est perdu, la roue tourne…

Ton regard perdu me fais fondre 
Tu es la reine de mon monde

Sublime geisha, tu m’ensorcelles
Dans tes yeux, les promesses du ciel…

Tokyo girl, tu m’envoutes for ever
Kiss the sky, heaven in your eyes 

Dans les rues fière, tu m’échappes
Sensation si je t’attrape…

Ton regard triste me retourne
C’est perdu, la roue tourne…

Tokyo girl, tu m’envoutes for ever
Kiss the sky, heaven in your eyes

Kiss the sky, heaven in your eyes
Kiss the sky, heaven in your eyes…

Lyrics: @user-264930040 (Peter)
Piano: Debra Buesking
This piano composition takes its cues from Beethoven's Bagatelle "Für Elise".  It seemed a bit of fun to give Beethoven's famous piece a new twist and so we have.  Thank you to my dear friends Oddrun, Arne, and Peter, for this marvelous and joyful experience of working together.  It brings us all a bit closer together.

An Autumn Pastorale

The year’s getting late, now summer’s sleeping
I contemplate how autumn’s creeping in.
Berries shining for the birds
As they harmonise each others’ words In a chorus like the angels heard.

The year’s getting late, for carefree living

Lazy times, with honest give and take.
Simple joys like baby smiles
And climbing hills to see for miles
The evening star switching on…year’s getting late

The year’s getting late, memories clinging
Better times, that sweet hope’s bringing in
The last of this year’s butterflies
Mother nature’s neat surprise

Can’t those days come back please? … year’s getting late.

TEMPEST

'Shadows In Fallen Clouds' Chemtrails are covering our skies worldwide daily. These chemtrails contain a mixture of chemicals and heavy metals. Most of the worlds population appear to think that these chemtrails are clouds or contrails and some are even oblivious to their very existence. However I am not and am well aware that what is being sprayed artificially in the upper atmosphere, won't stay there for long and will soon succumb to gravity. So then these chemtrails start to fall to earth, with their pollutant toxins. We are then breathing these in and eating the food produced from the contaminated ground and drinking the water. 
My track then 'Shadows In Fallen Clouds' is my protest to this assault on the earth and every living thing on it.
