05 | Time & (Im)mortality - P Kingori, M Lowe, F Flicker & M O'Brien

I made this track 4 years ago and i always liked it, its unusual for what i usually make, rather lo-fi and really dark. So i found the file again to edit it and i did a small remix. 

Undefinable Configuration

eternalism study group

It's like really deep like metaphysics but then there's like images of faun copulation happening while listening to it.....I really don't know what this is.....but I like it.

And the Universe Balances at Zero

In When the World Learned to Listen, gravity has rhythm and curiosity becomes sound. Set against dark trap beats, heavy bass, and ghostly synths, the track transforms Sir Isaac Newton’s discoveries—motion, light, gravity—into a sonic meditation on chaos and comprehension. Two voices intertwine and diverge, navigating tension and collapse, echoing the invisible laws that govern planets and perception alike.

The beat pulses like a cosmic heart, fractured yet precise, mirroring the unseen order in the universe. The duo doesn’t plead but listens—tracing paths of comets, arcs of planets, and the subtle prisms of light—exploring whether order exists before consciousness or emerges through observation. By the final resonance, darkness and rhythm fuse into reflection and awe.

A tribute to Newton, a dialogue with the cosmos, and a dance with the unseen.

When the World Learned to Listen

Army marching down the street one day,
Revolutionary Gravity,

And you should follow the parts,
And you should follow your senses,
And you should follow your heart,
Any you should let me put two cents in,

Baby you had it, I want you to grab it,
Like gravity and security,
And the habits that you want to break,
Falling down like rain on me,
You can break me any day,

Army marches now the other way,
We kicked them out with gravity,
Limit the ways that you have me,
Gravity and no security,
Falling down like something green,
That wakes up all the hearts,

We won’t be too bored of the slow life,
And you should know all your lines by now,
And you should know all your lines by now,

The army marches down the street,
The army marches down the street,
What they, what they, what they see,
Limit the ways that you have me,

Limit the ways that you have me,
Gravity no security,
Falling down like something green,
That wakes all the hearts,

Baby you had it, I want you to grab it,
Falling down like rain on me,
You can break me,
But you just can’t break gravity.

gravity

An epic, multilingual confrontation that unfolds as a clash between the mind and the universe. My song questions human agency, reflections on physical laws and abstractness, along with the role of doubt as the true driver of consciousness. Cosmic imagery and paradoxes transform science into poetry, while it invites humanity to stand humbly before the universe. It offers no easy answers — only light where the unknown pulses. — Aproveite a música! (^ - ^)/

Mental Dancer

Hello, again. Hahaha! (^ - ^)v Look... The lyrics were inspired by paradoxes such as Schrödinger’s Cat. This song explores the tension between knowledge and ignorance, stasis and evolution, existence and doubt. Its structure shifts from reflective verses to powerful, anthemic hooks, creating a sonic way that challenges the listener to think, resist arrogance, and embrace resilience. With dynamic instrumentation and philosophical depth, Static ≠ Dynamic is both an intellectual and emotional experience — a fusion of science, philosophy, and raw musical energy. — As we say in Brazilian Portuguese: "Até mais," which means "See you later"/"またね".

Static ≠ Dynamic

It's here, it's there, it's nowhere, it's particle, it's light, it's quantum, goodnight

Could We Nuke Mars’ Core to Restart Its Spin? | New Insights on Martian Interior

Human Consciousness Comes From a Higher Dimension, Scientist Claims—Meaning It Could Transcend the Physical World When we think creatively or have “Eureka” moments, we may actually unlock access to a dimension outside of our everyday perception, according to the controversial theory. 


Verse 1
In the quiet of the mind, where the daylight fades,
There's a shimmer at the edge of the thoughts we've made.
Sometimes a spark rises up like a lantern light,
Showing a path that was hidden just out of sight.

Pre-Chorus
It feels like a whisper calling from somewhere beyond,
Where the patterns shift and the veils grow thin.

Chorus
Hidden dimensions drifting just outside our view,
Opening wider when the heart breaks through.
When a sudden idea comes rising like a storm,
Maybe the mind steps beyond the world we're born.

Verse 2
Every question that we chase through the winding years
Feels like a doorway carved out of ancient fears.
Still there's a place where the unknown hums like a wire,
Pulling us upward toward something higher.

Pre-Chorus
A moment of clarity shining with strange new design,
As if we brushed the edge of another time.

Chorus
Hidden dimensions drifting just outside our view,
Opening wider when the heart breaks through.
When a sudden idea comes rising like a storm,
Maybe the mind steps beyond the world we're born.

Bridge
Maybe thought is a traveler crossing unseen planes,
Where memory dissolves and only insight remains.
If the soul is a lantern burning in shifting space,
Each flash of inspiration might reveal another place.

Final Chorus
Hidden dimensions drifting just outside our view,
Calling us gently toward something true.
When the spark in the dark shows a way past form,
Maybe the mind steps beyond the world we're born.

Hidden Dimensions

Two or more particles can become connected in  the same reality on opposite sides of the universe and react instantly to the others stimulation. Einstein didn’t believe it was possible, he said it was, Spooky action at a distance...

Quantum entanglement

From neural networks to walk-up songs: We sat down with the Dodgers' first AI Research Scientist to ask the hard questions.

In this rapid-fire session, Physics PhD candidate Mathilde Papillon weighs in on the most stressful scenarios (a dissertation defense vs. the bottom of the 9th) and reveals the fastest algorithms on and off the field.

The 7th Inning Stretch: Speed Round with Mathilde Papillon

With a futuristic aesthetic that blends instrumental layers, the lyrics intertwine two languages with the aim of delving into cosmic physics (photons, Planck’s constant, accretion disks, and singularities) alongside philosophical reflections on illusion and perception. There is a fine balance between emotion and reason, offering you a perspective from a more distant point on science and philosophy.

Inversely Proportional to Infinity

Can we ever turn back the clock? On Earth, Time is rigid and immovable, but in space, it's practically the opposite. Out in the cosmos, time is another dimension alongside the three of space- but unlike in 3D space, there is only one way we seem to be able to move through time. The cause of this directionality, and so-called "Arrow of Time" through the cosmos, makes up the topic of our video today- the second part in a double header on the mysterious workings of Time.

Can We Ever Go Back?

Produced by paint.exe

“Mr. Wolosz Rolls In” is a lighthearted bossa-nova homage to a physics teacher whose daily bike commute becomes a metaphor for resilience, curiosity, and the hilarious struggle of learning. Wrapped in breezy rhythms and witty scientific references, the song paints Mr. Wolosz as a mythic figure who quite literally powers through headwinds, bad weather, and sleepy students while embodying every principle he teaches. Beneath the humor, the song reflects on how his steady determination contrasts with students’ chaos, turning physics concepts—torque, energy, reference frames—into symbols for perseverance and the messy ride of academic life. Ultimately, it’s about how an unforgettable teacher can transform routine moments into lessons that stick long after the formulas fade.

Lyrics: 
[Verse 1]
The alarm goes off at five-fifteen, the sky's still black,
He’s lacing up his cycling shoes, got reflectors on his back.
While we’re still in bed complaining about the wave-particle duality,
He’s already fighting headwinds and the forces of reality.

[Pre-Chorus]
Rain or shine, sleet or snow, negative gradient he will go,
Uphill both ways, that’s the myth, but with him it’s kinda true though…

[Chorus]
Mr. Wolosz rolls in, helmet slightly askew,
Thirteen miles of ride just to torture me and you.
With a coffee in the bottle cage and chaos in his soul,
He’s here to make us calculate why nothing ever rolls.
Ohhh, Mr. Wolosz rolls in—
The only man who bikes harder than he grades Paper 2!  (Though I might be cooked.)

[Verse 2]
He flies past cars in traffic, Doppler effect in real time,
Red-shift as he leaves them, blue-shift when he arrives on the line.
Chain slicker than our excuses, gears shifting like our mood,
When he walks in sweating Newton, we know we’re totally screwed.

[Bridge]
He says, “Potential energy? Boys, that’s just height times m g,
But convert your breakfast to kinetic or you’ll fail IB!”
We whine about the 7, he just laughs and clips back in,
“Life’s a non-inertial reference frame—deal with the fictitious spin!”

[Chorus]
Mr. Wolosz rolls in, panniers full of past papers,
Tells us torque is r cross F while he tightens up his capers.
Mud on his calves like contour lines of equal suffering,
He’s the only teacher living what the syllabus is buffering.
Ohhh, Mr. Wolosz rolls in—
If physics is a bicycle, then he’s the one who built the thing!

[Final Verse]
One day we’ll graduate, forget the formulas, move on,
But we’ll still tell the story of the man who cycled on.
Through storms and exams and teenage despair so clinical,
He proved every morning: F net equals m a… is still a miracle.

Anbid Zaman is a queer activist and artist whose work rises from a life marked by displacement, resistance, and the insistence on living fully even when the world tries to deny that possibility. Born in Bangladesh and shaped by grassroots queer organizing from a young age, they grew into their voice through community struggle — learning early that courage isn’t an act, but a daily discipline.

Their journey from danger to refuge transformed them without erasing their origins. Living in Germany, Anbid continues to work at the intersections of identity, migration, and liberation, supporting queer people who face violence and navigating the complexities of chosen family, safety, and belonging. Their activism is guided by deep commitments: justice without compromise, solidarity across borders, and an unshakeable belief that marginalised voices should be heard not with pity, but with respect.

These values spill directly into their music. Anbid’s sound blends testimonial storytelling, emotional minimalism, and atmospheric layers shaped by memory — the quiet of hiding, the noise of protest, the ache of leaving, the thrill of surviving. Each track carries the weight of lived experience and the brightness of hope that refuses to die. Their art is not just expression; it is continuation, resistance, and a reminder that stories carry power long before the world acknowledges them.

Began professionally releasing music in 2012.  First release was entitled "Dreams Between the Sound Machines". 

Released second album in 2014 entitled "Endless Energies".

Released a couple of singles throughout 2015 and 2016.

Began re-releasing music on August 9 2023.  Since August 9th have released 47 musical compositions.

I write lyrics in a wide range of genres. Work with 2 musicians (so far) and suno.com to make songs. Make videos for the songs on my youtube channel. Poet, lyricist, piano hack. Youtube is langstonify. Professor of African American Studies and Creative Writing.
