“Upside Down” is an instrumental journey into a shadowy, nostalgic world where the air hums with electricity and every echo feels like a warning. Inspired after rewatching Stranger Things and getting pulled back into its eerie 80s atmosphere, I set out to capture that same blend of tension, wonder, and vintage synth magic, without recreating anything directly from the show.

Built on brooding analog pads and a steady, pulse-like bass, the track moves with slow, hypnotic intention, like wandering down an empty street long after midnight. Shimmering arpeggios drift in and out like distant signals breaking through static, adding momentum without ever breaking the spell.

Instead of big drops or dramatic shifts, the intensity rises through layers: more texture, more pressure, more mystery, drawing you deeper with each passing moment.

This is a piece meant to make you imagine, explore, and slip for a few minutes into an alternate world, one where the familiar feels eerie and the unknown feels close enough to touch.

Enjoy the descent into “Upside Down.”

Upside Down

Eight years ago, art was forbidden. Now a band of friends are just trying to survive in a country that ostracizes them for who they are and what they create. A heartbreaking musical of friendship, family, loss, and the power of creation; this is Finale: The Last Act.

Pull-pull, feel the strings they weave,
Corporate gods above while the masses believe!
Borders erased but the chains stay TIGHT,
If you question the system—YOU'RE OUTTA SIGHT!

Millicent (Mllcnt Hrrsn) is a California-based actor and musician. They've always been fascinated by musicals and started performing onstage when they were six-years old. In addition to performing onstage, Millicent is also an avid playwright and lyricist. They have written several plays for the stage, but Finale: The Last Act is their first (concept) musical. In songwriting, they pull from early 2000's emo and punk rock influences. Millicent credits their family with their love of live music, concerts, theater, and art.

New to the world of music songwriting, just enjoying life and creating music people can relate to. Nothing better than a good tune to get you dancing. Enjoy! My atrist names include Darius Endovins, Maurice Videns, and Les Nouveaux Digitale.
