Cirrus Sapiens

@zonrasounds
@jacksonhalemusic

Subverting compositional and design tropes each step of the way, the Zonra project has maintained a striking consistency in its escape from the norms of conventional electronic music. Straddled somewhere between the dance-centric sound of contemporary bass music producers and the aural experimentation developed by IDM pioneers, Jackson Hale achieves a stable balance between groove and intrigue with each subsequent release, moving that needle closer to either end whenever the need arises. In time-tested fashion, his latest LP is a work of beauty from every angle, and as such, The Rust is incredibly excited to premiere Time Is A Tool as our 61st label release.

Previous Zonra records have featured an amalgam of shredded synthesis, mean breakdowns, and carefully threaded melodic elements. Unsurprisingly, Hale flipped the script entirely for Time Is A Tool; The LP’s opening moments involve smooth harmonies egressing into smooth cadence, and that relationship carries on throughout each track. Choice waves of tension and release, told through the intentional splaying of tones and textures into glitched-out symphonies, creates a permeable catharsis within each fold of the record, slowly churning the listener towards the album’s zenith. Opting for slow, caressing tempos and chord phrases reminiscent of serene lullabies, the traditional throaty bass lines and hyper-compressed downbeats are put out to pasture in favor of a record filled to the brim with particularly intentional and resoundingly magical moments of introspection and rest. For those keen on finding their next sonic journey amidst a crowd with a dancefloor focus, Time Is A Tool is assuredly the album you’ve been searching for.

Lyrics ::

Receiving, and feeding
Oxygen breathing
Rinsing, repeating 
Human and machine are makin’ meaning
Passions, impressions
Birthing, learning lessons
Succession of progression
Answer this question

Diving into endless dimensions
Expanding intention
Disbanding convention
In the heart lies perception 
Rising in direction
All phenomena manifest in perfection

Blessings and prayers to babies newborn
Sacred songs giving growth to form
Culminating storm
Dissolving the norm
Fractals of novelty
The soul becomes warm

Searching home
Earth’s surface I roam
Reflection of your mind like a geodesic dome
Climbing and rhyming over valleys and mountains
Bathing in sound resonating all around us

Perfecting timing for the Higher Self to find me
Now I’m grounded
Catching leaves from a Sky Tree
Abiding mindfully
Encompassing a divine spectacle
Of sights for eyes that see

Life-force, vitality
Reciting a recital of mental energy 
Healin’ like a pharmacy 
Discovering cosmic harmony (cosmic harmony) 
Examined like optometry 

Empirically miracles appear impossibly 
Transforming this Matrix into an Odyssey 
Time let free from bondage of philosophy
And speculative probability 

Letting go of thought
Tune into the waves of the heart space 
Everything in its right place (everything in its right place) 
Everything in its right place (everything in its right place) 
Everything in its right place (everything in its right place) 

Letting go of thought
Tune into the waves of the heart space 
Everything in its right place (everything in its right place) 
Everything in its right place (everything in its right place) 
Everything in its right place (everything in its right place) 

In stillness I find my being’s capability
Fantasies with celestial entities
Representing higher consciousness indefinitely
Eventually we all return to the origin we formed in

Letting go of thought
Tune into the waves of the heart space 
Everything in its right place (everything in its right place) 
Everything in its right place (everything in its right place) 
Everything in its right place (everything in its right place)

In slowing currents, may our thoughts unwind. Like falling leaves let go of what is past... 
I present my first ambient/downtempo journey mix that I've recorded and shared! Accompanying the changing of seasons quite nicely this mix is also great for early mornings, late night drives, and times of solitude.
This realm of music has had such a significant impact on my life and I hope the arrangement & flow of these selections can also evoke such an emotional response in the listener and provide a sense of solace, even if its just for a brief moment of time. Thank you for being here <3

#mechanicalLOVE  
#devsays – “You touched the static. I was never real.”

Track Details:  
Style: Trip-hop × Psychedelic Electronica × Alt-pop  
Mood: Hypnotic, cinematic, emotionally fractured

“mechanical LOVE” is a genre-bending descent into synthetic intimacy and spectral tension. The remix pulses at 128 BPM, softened by vinyl-style saturation and ghostly percussion. A deep, hypnotic bass anchors the mix while arpeggiated synths morph into guitar-like echoes, drenched in delay and reverb. Dreamlike pads and vocal-like motifs evoke cinematic depth, dissolving into fragile piano lines and ambient swells before surging back into distorted drops. The production emphasizes contrast — lo-fi grit against lush stereo expanses, hypnotic repetition against sudden dynamic bursts. A haunting vocal fragment whispers through the glitch: “I remember nothing… mechanical… LOVE…”
