Within the Voyager

Inspired by the philosophy of Master Shigeru Egami, who taught that karate transcends combat and becomes a path to harmony, self-mastery, and peace-a message as vital and inspiring today

The Mountain’s Way

The lyrics lament the insidious "brain rot" caused by excessive screen time and the constant barrage of digital information. The song portrays a society where individuals are losing their sense of self and connection to reality, becoming lost in endless scrolling and manipulated by distorted truths. It highlights the dangers of digital addiction and the erosion of independent thought. However, a strong desire for liberation emerges, a yearning to escape the artificiality and rediscover the richness of the physical world and genuine sensory experiences. The song ultimately becomes a declaration of intent to actively resist the numbing effects of digital overload and fight for a more authentic and vibrant way of living, emphasizing the importance of mindful engagement with reality.

Brain Rot V2

This song portrays a bleak, post-apocalyptic landscape characterized by brokenness, fear, and loss. Amidst the ruins and echoes of past destruction, a fragile hope persists, symbolized by a "spark in the darkness." The lyrics explore the internal struggle to find peace and strength in the face of haunting memories and an uncertain future. The central theme revolves around the idea that inner healing and forgiveness are essential prerequisites for collective resilience and rebuilding. Ultimately, the song offers a message of hope, suggesting that even from devastation ("embers and flame"), a new beginning and harmony can emerge through unity and the pursuit of inner peace.

Shadows of Tomorrow

This song, wrought in the shadow-haunted tradition of Lovecraft’s tales, recounts the strange and disquieting fate of a solitary lighthouse keeper, stationed upon a forlorn and wind-lashed promontory along the remote Oregon coast. One fateful day, amidst the ceaseless, sullen roar of the waves and beneath a sky brooding with ineffable menace, the keeper becomes aware-by some nameless intuition-that the sea and heavens themselves have grown subtly, hideously altered. Some ineffable transformation has occurred; a baleful and inscrutable mystery, older than mankind, has taken form and now pervades the very air, manifest in the unnatural cadence of the surf, which now resounds with a sinister and unwholesome timbre. It is as though the veil between worlds has thinned, and the hapless warden, drawn by a compulsion both dreadful and irresistible, stands upon the threshold of revelations mankind was never meant to know, and which may well shatter the fragile bulwarks of reason itself

Watcher of the Eldritch Coast

This song, inspired by Philip K. Dick’s "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch", draws on a poetic storytelling signature, introspective tone, and metaphor-rich lyrics, weaving together the existential loneliness, blurred realities, and spiritual longing central to both his work and Dick’s novel. The imagery and themes reflect the struggle for control, the seductive dangers of illusion, and the haunting presence of Palmer Eldritch, whose stigmata symbolize the inescapable invasion of self and reality

Stigmata in the Mirror

A sharp, satirical rap that dives into the absurdity of conspiracy theories, echo chambers, and the ignorance that keeps them alive. With biting irony and clever wordplay, this track calls out the wild beliefs and psychological traps that fuel today’s misinformation madness.

The Delusion Epidemic

Mind Prison

This raw, unapologetic rap album blends sharp social critique with intense personal reflection. Inspired by ancient wisdom and the fiery spirit of modern rap, it tackles the dangers of haste, the epidemic of ignorance, and the ruthless grip of corporate power. With aggressive lyrics and brutal honesty, the tracks expose systemic corruption, social division, and the urgent need for truth, unity, and conscious rebellion. This is a call to wake up, break free from manipulation, and fight for a real change in a world run by greed and lies.


Paranoia Pills

Now, I wouldn't claim to possess any remarkable musical gifts, save for a decent ear and a rather handy knack for picking things up. My musical education is nothing to write home about either – just the standard school curriculum, you see, plus a handful of piano lessons with a jazz fellow from Parma.

All the same, I've always had a soft spot for music, the whole kit and caboodle, and I can usually find something to appreciate, some spark of talent, in most genres (though I draw the line at trap, which, by its very definition, seems to thrive on a distinct lack of it).

I have a bit of a tinker on the piano, my guitar playing is frankly atrocious, and I can coax some vaguely agreeable sounds out of a saxophone. But now and then, if the mood takes me, particularly when faced with those black and white keys, something – a little idea, perhaps – manages to surface.

Of course, there's a world of difference between that and producing a proper tune, which demands proper talent, technique, instruments, know-how, and, crucially, a jolly good amount of time (technical note, mind you: synthesisers, digital instruments, sampling, and loopers are now part and parcel of the 'traditional method').

Perhaps one of my few genuine talents lies in a comfortable familiarity with all things technological, meaning I can generally get technology to do precisely what I jolly well want it to.

Nowadays, there are some truly astonishing tools about, based on this so-called GenAI and these 'AI agents' which, to put it simply, in a great many applications, take on (rather effectively, I might add) all the tedious, manual labour involved in proofreading a text, or generating a video, or producing music.

An artificial intelligence, whether used to create or to pilot sophisticated instruments, does our bidding if you feed it the right ideas, the right starting material, and the right questions (in other words: if you establish the correct context and the desired outcome).

My Monogatari project is intended to be a bit of a social experiment, really. Aside from finally bringing some long-held ideas of mine to fruition in a reasonable timeframe, I'm keen to understand the genuine impact of this technology on a distinctly creative and artistic field.

That is to say: is artificial intelligence merely a substitute, or is it simply an exceptionally advanced expressive tool?

The streaming platforms will deliver the verdict, I suppose.
