Suspended Breaths

In this silence
I sit here and think
When will the day come
When will I be unique

What can I do
To make things happen
Do I let them believe
Or do I fake a happy

I want the best
That life has to offer
I want the best
That life has to offer

In the silence
I dream of the greatest
Affecting the world
Injecting the latest

This love is for the world
This love is for you
This love is for the night
This love is not blue

I find that I still care
I find that I still love
I find that I can believe
I find that I can rise above

The fire
The ashes
The rubble
The torn
The destroyed
The damaged
The devastation
The burn

I want the best
That life has to offer
I want the best
That life has to offer

In the silence
I dream of the greatest
Affecting the world
Injecting the latest

This love is for the world
This love is for you
This love is for the night
This love is not blue

I find that I still care
I find that I still love
I find that I can believe
I find that I can rise above

「呼吸の人類学」 Anthropology of a Breath

"The Hermit" is a deeply introspective track from Xak Stahl's Major Arcana album, blending ambient acoustic elements with a mystical undertone. Inspired by the Tarot card of the same name, the song explores themes of solitude, self-reflection, and the pursuit of inner wisdom.

Soft, ethereal melodies guide listeners through the quiet, contemplative journey of The Hermit. Gentle acoustic guitar and atmospheric tones create a serene yet powerful soundscape, while the lyrics reflect the courage it takes to step away from the world and seek clarity in the silence.

This track invites listeners to embrace the stillness, light their own lantern, and uncover the truths within. Let "The Hermit" be the soundtrack to your moments of introspection and personal discovery.

Lyrics:

On a path of quiet stone, beneath the endless sky,
I walk alone with a lantern’s glow, and questions burning bright.
Through the shadows of the unknown, I search to understand,
The whispers of the silence guide, a light held in my hand.

Through the stillness, through the night,
I journey inward, seeking light.

I am The Hermit, the keeper of the flame,
In solitude, I’ve found my name.
Through the dark, I light the way,
The truth revealed at the break of day.

The echoes of the world grow faint, as I leave them all behind,
In the quiet, I confront myself, the answers I must find.
Through the mist of doubt and fear, a guiding star appears,
Its light reflects the wisdom gained through trials and the years.

Through the stillness, through the night,
I journey inward, seeking light.

I am The Hermit, the keeper of the flame,
In solitude, I’ve found my name.
Through the dark, I light the way,
The truth revealed at the break of day.

In the silence, I am whole,
The lantern guides my restless soul.
With every step, the veil is torn,
A new dawn rises, I am reborn.

I am The Hermit, the keeper of the flame,
In solitude, I’ve found my name.
Through the dark, I light the way,
The truth revealed at the break of day.

On a path of quiet stone, beneath the endless sky,
I walk alone with a lantern’s glow, and questions burning bright.

🌌 "This is my truth, my journey, my soul" 🌌  
This song is written with tears of blood, born from deep reflection on my life. Every chord, every note, comes directly from my soul, as a testament to what I was, what I am, and what I've lived through. In every bar lies my pain, my search, and my desire to find peace amidst everything I've overcome. 🎶💔

It is a melody written in moments of despair, but also of hope. I want this song to remain as a memory for the people I met, for those who shared my life, and for those who ever felt they couldn’t go on. This is my way of leaving my mark, of telling my truth. ✨

If you've ever felt that your tears were invisible, that your struggle went unnoticed, here is my music, my naked soul. Let it serve as a reminder that there's always something more to discover within, there's always a spark that keeps us moving forward, even on the darkest days. 🌙

Lyrics: 

Verse 1:  
I wandered through shadows, searching for light,  
Lost in the silence, running from the fight.  
Chasing the answers that always slipped away,  
Now I stand alone, but I’ve found my way.

Pre-Chorus:  
Every tear that I’ve shed, every scar that I bear,  
It’s a story untold, a life laid bare.  
The road’s been so heavy, but I’ve learned to stand tall,  
And in the darkness, I’ve found what I’m called.

Chorus:  
So when I’m gone, hear my voice through the night,  
The echoes of my soul, shining so bright.  
Through the pain and the tears, I’ve learned to survive,  
And my truth will remain, forever alive.

Verse 2:  
I gave what I could, to those who didn’t see,  
But now I’m awakened, I’ve set myself free.  
My heart’s been broken, but it still beats for you,  
In this world full of lies, I found my truth.

Pre-Chorus:  
Every moment of doubt, every loss that I’ve faced,
Built the man I am, with unwavering grace.  
I’ll carry my story, through the storms and the rain,  
So you’ll remember me, beyond the pain.

Chorus:  
So when I’m gone, hear my voice through the night,  
The echoes of my soul, shining so bright.  
Through the pain and the tears, I’ve learned to survive,  
And my truth will remain, forever alive.

Bridge:  
Even when the world forgets my name,  
I’ll live in the songs, I’ll live in the flame.  
For every step I took, every battle I fought,  
Is a part of the legacy, that I’ve left for you all.

Chorus:  
So when I’m gone, hear my voice through the night,  
The echoes of my soul, shining so bright.  
Through the pain and the tears, I’ve learned to survive,  
And my truth will remain, forever alive.

Outro:  
The echoes of my soul will carry you through,  
A testament of the love I gave, and the strength I grew.  
When I’m gone, know my spirit’s always near,  
In the echoes of my soul, I’ll never disappear.

🎧 The New Of The Tower
Welcome to a new, underground, dark world...

🎭 Musical Style & Artistic Evolution

🚀 Avant-Garde Dance Music Without Borders
The New Of The Tower is an independent, self-taught project that fearlessly pushes the limits of dance music with a unique fusion of genres. Officially described as a mix of dark techno, tech-house, electro, and experimental pop, it also incorporates elements of trap, punk, and even classical music.

In practice, each track oscillates between club anthems and conceptual sonic experiences. For instance, “Velvet Guillotine” (2025) is a hypnotic techno hymn built on heavy percussion and distorted vocals—a true “surreal sonic ritual” under neon lights.

The sound is always matched by a cinematic, underground aesthetic: strobe lights, cyberpunk visuals, and immersive atmospheres define every release.

🌍 Eclectic Influences & Genre Alchemy

The New Of The Tower draws from a wide range of sonic traditions:

🏴‍☠️ Dark techno and industrial groove infused with gothic textures and anarchic punk (e.g., “BRUTAL!!” — a chaotic journey of distortion and rebellion).

🌍 Afro-Tech House meets rock guitars à la AC/DC in “Love Letters” (124–126 BPM).

👺 “Masquerade of Bass” blends melodic techno, dark psytrance, and retro synth-pop.

💃 Spanish-language tracks like “Marionetas” and “Vidas Rotas” fuse flamenco sorrow with trap beats and deep 808s.

🎷 “2:59 AM” evokes Amy Winehouse-inspired jazzy cloud-rap, while “She Danced Through Storms” travels through deep house and jazz fusion with a cinematic touch.

🧊 “Still Echoing” merges melodic trance with nostalgic 80s synth-pop.

🧬 Each track is a bold cross-genre experiment: from industrial club bangers to dark electronic ballads, always rich in texture and emotion.

🎛️ Sonic Palette: Instruments & Effects

🎹 Synths & Melodies
Analog pads & leads (often vocoder-enhanced) create retrofuturistic atmospheres.
Punk-style distorted guitars and 80s synthwave textures bring cinematic depth.

🥁 Percussion & Rhythms
Hard techno kicks, metallic hi-hats, tribal drums, and trap-style 808s.
Layered acoustic and electronic elements make for dynamic and precise beats.

🌀 FX & Processing
Rich in glitchy clips, VHS noise, deep delays, and reverb-soaked vocals.

Examples: “Love Letters” is drenched in lo-fi and VHS textures; “4 Malos Polvos” features glitchy ambient layers and emotional auto-tune.

🎨 Each sound is carefully crafted to contribute to a vivid, cinematic soundscape.

🎤 Vocal Treatments: A Sonic Chameleon

Vocals range from:
🎙️ Melodic singing (English & Spanish)
🔥 Punk shouting & spoken rap
🤖 Vocoded retro textures (“Still Echoing”)
💔 Melancholic auto-tuned lines (“4 Malos Polvos”)
💣 Confessional, emotionally intense deliveries
🗣️ The voice becomes another instrument of emotion, soaked in effects like reverb, delay, filters—ranging from ghostly whispers to ecstatic screams.

🌑 Emotional Climate & Storytelling

The overall emotional tone is dark, introspective, and visceral.

Themes revolve around:
💘 Passion, heartbreak, rebellion
🧠 Subconscious states & urban alienation
🕯️ Ritualistic, trance-like experiences (e.g., “Velvet Guillotine”)
🌆 Social suffering (“Marionetas”, “Vidas Rotas”)
😈 Raw eroticism & shame (“4 Malos Polvos”: “each drop is a stab disguised as a caress”)
🎞️ Romantic melancholy in cinematic settings (“2:59 AM”, “She Danced Through Storms”)
🎬 Each track unfolds like an emotional chapter, offering catharsis, vulnerability, and mystery.

📽️ Conceptual Artistry & Vision

The New Of The Tower is not just music—it's an immersive audiovisual concept.

💀 Explores themes of dystopia, poverty, guilt, rebellion
🏙️ Brutalist club visuals, cyberpunk aesthetics
🕯️ Emotional depth with non-commercial intent
🎭 “4 Malos Polvos” = a “dark confession for love sinners,” cinematic and raw
🌀 Each release = a journey through shadow and rhythm
🕺💀 Dance meets darkness—a kind of electronic film noir where each beat tells a deeper truth.

📈 Style Evolution: From EDM to Darkness

🟢 2019–2022: EDM & electro-pop beginnings (Feel EP, “You And Me” — catchy and bright)

🟡 2024: Transition into melodic techno (“Not Living Without You”)

🔴 2025–Present: Shift to dark techno, darkwave, flamenco-trap, and experimental storytelling (“Velvet Guillotine”, “Marionetas”)

🎭 From mainstream dance-pop to raw, conceptual electronic music—always evolving, always fearless.

🎼 Comparable Artists & Influences

🧩 The New Of The Tower resonates with:

🧨 Brutalismus 3000 (techno-punk dystopia)
👾 Perturbator (dark synthwave)
🌘 Mind Against / Recondite (melodic techno & melancholia)
🎤 Boy Harsher, Massive Attack (dark vocals, trip-hop moods)
🔥 Anyma (techno emotion), Latin trap/fusion for its flamenco-trap leanings
