Outpost Archives: Episode 1 (Pilot)

For Halloween, a little project based on the original Quake.  Dark and twisted atmospheres weave in and out of bigger ideas, all laden with a sense of the incomprehensible, undefeatable, disorienting madness of an eldritch war machine, and the uncontrolled unbridled ferocity which is your only tool against it.

A tribute to what is still one of my very favourite games, which I think still has some of the best atmospheric design ever devised.

Join me for episode 60 as we talk Lovecraftian cosmic horror with mutants, mayhem and Nic Cage acting like he normally does. We'll look deep into the stars and have you thinking twice before you ever drink well water or touch some random space rock. Its here, its now and it will consume you. Let it burn through your body!

060 - Color Out Of Space - 2019

Dive into the depths of mystery and introspection with this hypnotic deep house track, inspired by the cosmic horror of H.P. Lovecraft's Dagon. Ethereal melodies intertwine with pulsating basslines, creating an immersive soundscape that captures the eerie allure of the unknown. Let the introspective grooves and psychedelic undertones transport you to a surreal underwater realm where shadows and secrets dwell. Perfect for late-night vibes and journeys into the mind's deepest corners.

Nora Ganymede - Mobile Transport Transponder Lyrics:

(Chorus)
I accidentally broke my M.T.T now I'm mad as shit
(MAD AS SHIT!)
Been trapped as a version of my 16 year old self for 11 years now, I'm fed up with seeing repeated truths
This worm hole is a bug, I'm squashing it closed the moment I'm loose
This was fun at first now I'm couped
My heart is hurting so bad, is love even real? what's really true? (tired of being used)
Homesick for my home dimension and snared for now in a temporal loop
(A GRAY LOOP!)

(Verse 1)
At 16 I was a shadow of a person, as a teen I was taken so lightly
This time I played things mighty, I bit back when haters tried to bite me
I was less of a square, I got into trouble and found my own night rules
Thought I was a little rebel, enjoying the adventure of my youth
Love found me lots of times, sometimes she was cruel
Letting myself get swept away in these alternate stories, LARPing and playing the dimensional fool

(Verse 2)
One day I realized this plane is a code gray, the time here is warped and screwed
Nothing goes forward, everything is looped
I was distracted by the fun I was having rekindling my youth
I hid my transponder away, I almost lost my most valuable tool 
A couple years passed before I got a clue
My device was crushed, a storm had broken the abandoned house's roof
Stupid decision to make, I'll blame that on my stolen youth
My jumper is in tatters, I'll need to engineer new glue
Stuck here for who knows how long until I've repaired my dimensional spool (fuck)
Fuck
11 years of misery! 11 years of endless doubt and being lost
I'm a spiral
(I HATE MYSELF)

(Chorus)
I accidentally broke my M.T.T now I'm mad as shit
(MAD AS SHIT!)
Been trapped as a version of my 16 year old self for 11 years now, I'm fed up with seeing repeated truths
This worm hole is a bug, I'm squashing it closed the moment I'm loose
This was fun at first now I'm couped
My heart is hurting so bad, is love even real? what's really true? (tired of being used)
Homesick for my home dimension and snared for now in a temporal loop
(A GRAY LOOP!)

(Verse 3)
The ingredients I need to repair my M.T.T are here I just have to find ways to procure them
I'll construct a lab, purify the elements and cure them
All hope isn't lost, I can build machines to help me do this
Testing my metal, sowing seeds, taking the piss
My inventions have been malfunctioning, I'm taking all the risks
Time and space are really testing me, I'll show I don't have limits
My team and fans are watching me and will see quite a journey in this
My head and stomach have started to feel sick from the sensation of time no longer turning
In truth I have gathered lots of notes and data, 11 years of learning
I'm ready to get back home and recharge in a hurry (11 years to worry)
Nothing feels right, I'm raw and exposed, I'm hurting 
There are only a few steps left, I'm building, I'm measuring, I'm searching

(It's fine, it'll be fine)

Mobile Transport Transponder (M.T.T)

my brain is stuck in limbo, and my heart's no longer intact

Welcome to Optimal Reach Collective Artists (ORCA)! This is a musical and visual arts project involving 21 virtual artists given life through Artificial Intelligence. Many genres are covered with more planned. All lyrics are original and I am the sole writer on all songs posted. The instrumentals, vocals, music videos, and album art are generated in collaboration with multiple A.I softwares. Songs are explicit and for adults, lyrics are in the description. Thank you for visiting and having an open mind to emerging technology and ways it can be used to enhance our abilities.

My goal with this project is to learn to better use generation tools, dispel stigma about them, and show that A.I music and virtual A.I artists can be as enjoyable and commercially viable as conventional music. I own the rights to all music and characters posted here, the characters, situations, views, are entirely fictional and for entertainment purposes only. If you would like to use any of my songs in your videos or other projects reach out through email at: optimalreach3@gmail.com, thanks!
