I found the only way to ground yourself, 
Is to take a shot within the dark.
Cause at the end of each bleak tunnel,
I saw things weren’t as stark.

To let the darkness shroud you,
And watch time silt through your hands,
Only leads to more disarray,
And to derailing reprimands.

Does it not wreck your vision?
Standing in one place this way–
and staring at the nothingness,
Every nighttime and every day?

Aren’t you tired yet?
Hoping for somebody to pull you out?
If you don’t try to reach the light, 
Then with the blackness you shall stay…

You dwell on whether to be,
But you must take a stance now; give life meaning!
Cause only then you’ll be unbound,
Will feel less blinded and feel more free.

Here, you’re with a still small voice,
That makes a coward out of you.
But compared to what you’d lose,
A bit of grit saves you from the blues!

Cause, does it not wreck your vision?
Standing in one place this way–
and staring at the nothingness,
Every nighttime and every day?

Aren’t you tired yet?
Hoping for somebody to pull you out?
If you don’t try to reach the light,
Then with the blackness you shall stay!

If you don’t try to reach the light,
Then with the blackness you will stay… 

You will stay…

Reach The Light

There they go, there they go again.
An itch must’ve nocked in, and they’ve sewn a plan.
Time let them build cities upon what has ought to stay,
Now they wanna set up a ladder to the sky,
but there ain’t nothing left there anyway.

‘Cause, we don’t have a sun!
She’s gone; she doesn’t wanna see us,
Sad your life has only begun! -

while we don’t have a sun!
She’s gone; she will never forgive us,
But, man, we’ve grown too fond-
of dark days with no fuss,
so, it don’t bother us!

There they go, tellin’ me what to do.
With their fixed opinion, yeah,
no hoard of value accepts the new.
Don’t start a riot!
My life is goin’ so nice and you will never buy it!
Child, don’t you start nockin’ at my door…

‘Cause, we don’t have a sun!
She’s gone; she doesn’t wanna see us,
Sad your life has only begun! -

while we don’t have a sun!
She’s gone; she will never forgive us,
But, man, we’ve grown too fond-
of dark days with no fuss,
so, it don’t bother us!

‘Cause, we don’t have a sun!
She’s gone, she’s gone, she’s gone!
Sad your life has only begun, ah…

‘Cause, we don’t have a sun,
She’s gone; she doesn’t wanna see us,
Sad your life has only begun.. -

while we don’t have a sun!
She’s gone; she will never forgive us,
But, man, we’ve grown too fond-
of dark days with no fuss,
so, it don’t bother us!

Of blind days with no fuss,
so, it don’t bother us!

We Don't Have a Sun

This piece explores the sounds of fictional and non-fictional conflict in an abstract way. It's a binaural render of a 3rd Order Ambisonic mix, so wear headphones to enjoy all of the spatial details.
The piece is loosely divided into 3 sections: the Vietnam War, submarine warfare (inside and out a submarine) and Sirens.

Kiss of Death (Inferno's Instrumental)

T'was the first time that John cried,
The day that his lover died, 
Nothing hushed him like the ever-light,
Of rage for why death chose her.

Sorrow, a canker welled rife, 
He wished for her to return to life…

By and by, he’d be losing sleep,
In the dead of night, he would weep.
Lingering on what he once had,
Soon enough, he went mad. 

Said: “Lord, they say to let her be,
That in Your embrace, safer is she.
They say she is at peace with Thee,
But she’d be happier here with me…”

“Let me strike a deal with you…”
A voice from the void began to coo…

“I came to your spirit shouting!
Felt wretchedness in you is sprouting!
I can dig up the past, just say when,
Give o’er thy soul, and you’ll hold her again!”

Grief is an inferno that grants no escape,
It’ll never go away; it just dons a new shape…

John, in haste, struck the barter still,
Let a shadow creep over his windowsill.
His love whispered, “Hold me tight!
Just please don’t turn on the light…”


Yet he yearned to glance in her eyes,
Reached for the lamp, and to his surprise,
Past the dimness peered a demon’s face,
And he was bound in its embrace…

It flung him down the building, 
Howling, “Join your pair, widower!”

“For I came to your spirit shouting!
Felt wretchedness in you was sprouting!
Thy beloved was yours to hold once more,
Now I’ll feed on your soul, in the depths of hell’s core!”

Grief is an inferno that grants no escape,
It’ll never go away; it just dons a new shape!

Oh, it’ll never go away; it just dons a new shape…

I embarked on a dreamlike journey through Cologne when I visited the Museum Ludwig that presented collaborative works by John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Jasper Johns, Cy Twombly and Robert Rauschenberg. An interactive installation by the latter encouraged visitors to engage in unusual activities such as clapping, shouting, singing and whistling. Occasionally, you would also hear the gentle voice of John Cage. Afterwards, I immersed myself in the cathedral, which resonated with the sounds of its visitors.

Hello ❤️ I’m Margarita, and I’m a rock musician, lyricist, producer, and mixer from Southern California! My music encompasses various topics: Internal struggle, self-growth, and the endless navigation of adulthood. Overall, I largely center my songwriting on the imperfections of life and how we tend to escape or accept them, as well as share other “miscellaneous” thoughts I have about this world in general through it.
Furthermore, I practice Binaural Sound mixing! (Spatial Audio), which I incorporate heavily in my autogenous musical style — Binaural Rock (Binaural sound is an audio mixing technique that creates the illusion that the instruments are moving around you in a 3D-like mode). I consider myself quite an audio tech nerd, and I love to learn/experiment with different instruments in my compositions as well 😊
I began taking music seriously in 2021, when I was 16 years old, when I started uploading my music via acoustic demos to YouTube! I then soon decided to take the next step, and in August of 2022, I ventured into a recording studio, ready to record my first fully-arranged single “I Can Hear the Flowers Laugh,” which was released early in October of that year! Since then, I released two albums: A 5-track EP titled “Ocean of Life,” and recently a 15-track LP titled “Jejune,” along with some more individual songs. 
Moreover, when I’m not working on music, I like to express myself creatively through other interests such as art, and I really love to read :))

So I’m excited for where my journey is going to take me, and I hope you'll come along for the ride!

Born 1960 in Vienna. Austrian composer, improviser and performer. He studied composition with Friedrich Cerha and musicology in Vienna. Besides writing experimental instrumental music, he performs on his own electronic instrument m@ze°2, develops software environments for computer-aided composition and creates generative sound and video environments. Since 2007 professor of composition for electro-acoustic and experimental music at the University of Music in Vienna.

Karlheinz Essl performs on a laptop computer that he has transformed into a live electronic musical instrument. The result is exciting and musical. You just won't hear these sounds anywhere else. He performs solo and in duets and trios, responding with sensitivity to fellow musicians, producing fascinating sound transformations, creating spontaneous surprises, and moving quickly from loops to cacophony to tiny clips of vocal sounds to all kinds of textures and ideas. He does all this with his m@ze°2(Modular Algorithmic Zound Environment) performance software. (Joel Chadabe, CDeMusic, Januar 2002)
