Contrast

The Last Days of Summer

An extended drift through evolving harmonic space — a slow, deliberate unfolding of tone shaped by quiet motion and layered resonance.

The track begins in soft focus, gathering density as immersive textures rise and intertwine. Mid-track, the soundfield opens fully, revealing a delicate interplay of shifting harmonics and spectral shimmer, before tapering into a spacious, reflective glow.

Every moment feels alive with subtle energy — waves of tone crest and dissolve with hypnotic regularity, while the stereo field expands and contracts like breath.

Meditative and expansive: a longform ambient trance journey sculpted from movement, memory, and luminous stillness.

An evolving ambient field shaped by subtle movement and layered resonance. Breaths in long arcs — opening with a gentle spaciousness, gathering harmonic density midway, then dissolving again into a softer, reflective drift. Controlled and delicate, wide and stable, giving the impression of floating inside a living soundscape that expands and contracts naturally. 

Emotional architecture: a sense of traveling without direction, carried by tone and rhythm, and immersed in a space where sound feels both intimate and infinite.

Breath rises
light bends
a path opens where no path was

I step into the quiet
and the quiet remembers me
a spark older than the body
floating in the dark
listening for its name

Stars hum
somewhere behind my ribs
calling me back
to the first place
I ever was

Sacred breath
carry me outward
carry me inward
carry me through

I feel the echo
of a thousand versions of myself
walking in circles
around one glowing center
waiting for return

The sky folds
and I see the face
I wore before the world began
made of dust
made of fire
made of memory unspoken

Reborn in the shimmer
reborn in the flame
reborn in the silence
between two beats

A vision moves
slow as dawn
soft as sand
shifting without end

My soul leans forward
toward the unseen stair
and every step
becomes a question
that answers itself
just by being taken

I breathe once
and a new world opens
I breathe twice
and the old world loosens
I breathe again
and I am both
and neither

The wind speaks
with no language at all
yet I understand
perfectly

Carry me (Progressive Rock reload)

Rhythmic ambient electronic chill groove cerebral

switch

A long drift through harmonic space — a sound that stretches like light over distance.

An unbroken field of tone, alive with micro-movement: reverb-washed harmonics, grains of high-frequency shimmer, and an undercurrent of quiet propulsion that never fully resolves.

Weightless but not vacant — a meditation in constant motion, where subtle spectral shifts replace rhythm, and duration becomes part of the experience itself.

A slow inhale. A long exhale.
A place to remain.

6.8x

Moves like light filtered through water — steady, enveloping, and quietly infinite.

Tells the story through a broad unbroken field of tone, shaped not by rhythm but by pressure, drift, and harmonic tide.

Subtle fluctuations ripple beneath the surface during the early phases, deepening into denser resonance as the track evolves. Near the eighteen-minute mark, the energy gathers and blooms — a moment of sharpening presence before settling back into weightless glow.

Like time suspended — not looping, not progressing, but unfolding. A meditation made tangible through tone.

teleporia

The entire sound is in my hands. I write cyber poetry, produce, and compose every track ready for Immersive 3D. Every beat is crafted for spatial and next-gen headphones.
Intimate lyrics, total immersion, every track.

For 30 years I kept unfinished demos to myself, never letting them out. Now I finish what I start and release it the moment it’s alive.

I use every tool available, human or machine, as an instrument.
Technology doesn’t replace creativity. It expands it.

Terminal 2 Recordings is a showcase for eclectic sounds from Tokyo, London and Portland, Oregon. Established in 2015, it features music from artists including Signal Box, MMA, Lost in a State, Mark R. Heath, Songs of the Sea, Mayumi Ishida, Mischievous Giants, Shoko Yoshida, Jupleberries, Sheonator Pseak, Paul Rowland, Language of the Birds, Low-Velocity Society and Watsona, with a number of guest collaborators.

Echoform+ModeM is a new creative chapter and collaboration heavily influenced by the innovation, logic, and precision of early 1990's electronic music and modern day technical mechanix inspired by artists such as Time Modem, Lassigue Bendthaus, Aes Dana, Geomatic, Clock DVA, Implant Code, Sundial Aeon, E-Mantra, Artefakto, Trilithon, The Klinik, X Marks The Pedwalk, Handful of Snowdrops, and labels Music Research GMBH, Abfahrt, Boy, Ausfahrt, and Ultimae, among others. The music is a fusion of cerebral intelligence and trance influences. This is not techno dance floor drudgery.

My ideas were never my own. I belong to the universe.
