Made for the Jamuary challenge (jamming lots in January).

We finished a song from 2018 for this entry. It will be up Bandcamp at the end of the month, when we have enough to make it into a proper compilation and when it has more polish done to mixing/mastering.

Synth work by Masha (@masha-solo) and Rob Ulysses (@rob-ulysses) using a combination of the Roland Gaia SH-01, the app called Figure, and Garageband for iOS.

Wishing you all a very happy, healthy, 2025 that's creative/productive (when you want it to be) otherwise I hope your time is fun & relaxing! Much love from Archmage Band.

WFZ Samples - TOY DRUMS Vol 1

dophyta part II

This ain’t cute.
This ain’t style.
It’s predators dressed as fans,
and they been here all the while.

Lolita, they chant, but the truth is sick
Men chase youth, then disguise the trick
It ain’t fashion, it ain’t no art
It’s the hunger of the gaze that tears her apart.

Men write stories with a poison pen
Dress a teenage frame like a grown-up trend
Camera flash turn a child to a muse
But behind every shot, it’s a man who abuse
They say “innocent eyes,” but their thoughts betray
They feed on the fragile, then hide it away
Lyrics on the charts call it playful lust
But it’s predatory fame, in greed we trust
Culture sell young skin as a timeless thrill
But it’s power on display, control at will
Fetishize youth like a crown to chase
While erasing the truth of a stolen face
Lolita is the mask, but the mask ain’t real
It’s desire for control that the men conceal
From film to the ads to the music score
It’s the same old hunger, just dressed once more

Lolita, they chant, but the truth is sick
Men chase youth, then disguise the trick
It ain’t fashion, it ain’t no art
It’s the hunger of the gaze that tears her apart.

Old men write scripts, then they call it love
But the violence hide in the words they shove
Casting couch dressed in designer gloss
But the contracts sign with a silent loss
Every stage built on a fragile lie
That the younger she is, the higher the high
They normalize lust through a pop refrain
But the chorus hide teeth, and the smile is pain
Industry giants make the profit grow
While the girl they exploit never own her show
Streaming hits play while the crowd don’t see
That the lens is a weapon of fantasy
They say “she’s mature,” but she’s just fifteen
And the camera’s the cage where the world is mean
From the screen to the street, it repeats the crime
Fetish dressed as art, it’s the same old line

Lolita, they chant, but the truth is sick
Men chase youth, then disguise the trick
It ain’t fashion, it ain’t no art
It’s the hunger of the gaze that tears her apart.

Call it out loud, no more disguise
Stop the hunger living in their eyes
It ain’t love when the power split
When she’s silenced, and he writes the script
It’s the body they chase, not the soul she own
It’s the myth they made, not the girl alone
Lolita’s a word, but behind it’s fear
A generation scarred by the men who leer
Teach boys young that consent is truth
Not the fetish dream of eternal youth
Hold men to the fire, strip the lie away
Don’t excuse their lust as a harmless play
From the art to the law, let the system fall
No glamor in abuse, just a warning call
If you praise her youth, then you show your crime
Stop hiding behind culture, it’s been time.

Lolita, they chant, but the truth is sick
Men chase youth, then disguise the trick
It ain’t fashion, it ain’t no art
It’s the hunger of the gaze that tears her apart.
Lolita, no crown, just a stolen start
Men build idols, then they tear them apart.

It was never about her…
It was always about you.

Lolita (Conscious Rap reload)

People told me long ago
The Earth was flat
Thought about it then I thought
I can't believe that
So I got my education
Learned some facts
Broke the backs of ignorance
Now I'm never goin' back

I wanna say

I love it now
But I love it ten years from now
I love it now
But I love it ten years from now
I love it now
But I love it ten years from now
I love it now
But I love it ten years from now

People told me long ago
Men couldn't fly
Thought about it then I thought
I think they're telling lies
'Cause now I'm on an airplane
Way up high
In the sky
All my friends
Sitting right here by my side

And I said

I love it now
But I love it ten years from now
I love it now
But I love it ten years from now
I love it now
But I love it ten years from now
I love it now
But I love it ten years from now

Ten Years From Now

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.

I like to creat sounds from scratch I guess.
