Belly up to the bar top. Get a cheap shot. What a day…
Only this wall full of alcohol can keep my regrets at bay
But here walks in a new one, yet it seems so familiar to me
Now look who saunters over. It’s my favorite memory

I thought I had lost you, but you’d been standing in the wings
I thought I outgrew all the excitement of a fling

My mind’s now a-buzzin' with alcohol and regret
For paths I’ve forsaken, what you’ll never forget
And I’ve been such a pretender, halfway playing a part
Drinking, stuck in a daydream. It was over before it could start

I wish we could go back; stretch a new canvas on the frame
I can’t seem to move past this suit and tie that I became

Come sit down beside me. Let's try to get something on the page
Quiet my critic. It’s only me standing in your way

Gonna Be Okay

What's in the Way

COSMIC QUANDARY

An experimental mix of many styles.

The wind came howling, a song of sorrow,
Ripping the roofs from yesterday's tomorrow.
We stood together, a silent, trembling crowd,
The sky above us, a broken, shattered shroud.

The world outside, a chaos of sound and might,
Swallowed our homes in a single, hungry night.
A roar of thunder, a splintering of wood,
We lost our footing, where we once proudly stood.
In trembling hands, we held our final breath,
Facing the fury of a sudden death.

The storm, the storm!
We survived the storm,
We found each other's warmth.
And in the rubble, we will rise,
With weary hands and hopeful eyes.
The storm, the storm!
We survived the storm!

The morning broke, a strange and eerie light,
Revealed the ruins from the darkest night.
No steeple standing, no walls of brick and stone,
But from the wreckage, a hopeful, muted groan.
A cry of children, a thankful, joyous sound,
As all our loved ones were suddenly found.

The storm, the storm!
We survived the storm,
We found each other's warmth.
And in the rubble, we will rise,
With weary hands and hopeful eyes.
The storm, the storm!
We survived the storm!

Some say it's God, some call it fate,
Some whisper of a brutal, cold debate,
Of nature's will, a primal, ancient plea,
But all I saw was you and me.
Helping hands that pulled us from the mud,
A river flowing, not of tears, but blood.

The storm, the storm!
And we survived the storm!
We built a brand new warmth!
And in the sunlight, we will rise,
With grateful hearts and tearful eyes.
The storm, the storm!
The storm is gone, the world lives on!

The Storm

echoes of the attic

A haunting progressive rock journey through psychological torment and mental fragmentation. Dark, introspective lyrics explore the inescapable cycle of traumatic memories and the desperate struggle for freedom from internal bindings. With complex musical arrangements and visceral imagery, the song delves into themes of fractured reality, lost futures, and the horror of being trapped within one's own mind. An intense exploration of human desperation and the cyclical nature of psychological suffering.

Dorian Concept - Hide (Kucklow Rock Cover)

My Temperature Is Rising

We built the cities, tall and strong and bright,
Tamed the rivers, banished endless night.
Eight billion mouths, we learned to feed and fuel,
Made industry roar, against the old, harsh rule.
But still we wander, strangers in this land,
Each a lonely atom in the cosmic sand.

How do we build a soul that all can share?
A common pulse, a light beyond compare?
A single purpose, for the human race?
A guiding code that finds its perfect place?
How do we build a soul, a unifying art,
To program peace into every human heart?

We shaped the planet, bent it to our will,
With hands of steel and minds that can't be still.
We shattered borders, and we bridged the seas,
With screens that glow, and satellites with ease.
But still we fight, for tribe and ancient ground,
A silent fracture, without any sound.

How do we build a soul that all can share?
A common pulse, a light beyond compare?
A single purpose, for the human race?
A guiding code that finds its perfect place?
How do we build a soul, a unifying art,
To program peace into every human heart?

It is the final, monumental quest,
To find the peace within our troubled breast.
A new existence, forged by thought and plan,
The ultimate creation of the hand of man.
How do we build a soul that all can share?
How do we build a light beyond compare?

We will build a soul that all can share!
A common pulse, a light beyond compare!
A single purpose, for the human race!
A guiding code, for all of time and space!
To program kindness, a unifying art,
To forge a brand new soul and a brand new start.

How Do We Build A Soul?

A mysterious visitor descends from the night sky in this atmospheric progressive rock piece. The song explores themes of otherworldly contact and transcendence through abstract imagery of speckled rings, crimson wings, and silver threads weaving through darkness. The track builds tension through verses and interludes that describe an encounter beyond human logic and understanding. The lyrics paint vivid pictures of ancient signals and burning marks left by something that defies explanation, creating a haunting narrative about contact with the unknown and the permanent changes it brings.

Microscopical Defloration_(M.KR,Remix 2025)

I just try to make music i'd like to listen. No IA. 

Online Music collaborations. Recorded at  homestudios, around the world. Produced and Mixed by Frank R Sæther.

Music, rock, progressive rock, metal, jazz, blues and pop. Almost always AI, and usually my own lyrics.

hyper music nerd from boring zürich, switzerland. electronic dj with a flair for techno, electro, synthwave, coldwave, minimalwave, and an obsession for creating yummy ai songs mostly in non-electronic eclectic flavours like shoegaze, postpunk, garagerock, darkwave, and whatnot. serious but also not so sometimes... check Albums or Playlists for a less messy experience 😉 enjoy!

I'm a songwriter influenced by 70's music, especially Progressive Rock. I mainly create music using DTM with Vocaloid.

Alex Summerlin is an eclectic alternative and folk-rock musician who has played music professionally for over a decade around the Little Rock, AR, and Nashville, TN areas. Originally hailing from Bryant, AR, Alex was drawn to music at a young age by the generations of working musicians in his family.  He started playing cover music in local bars and clubs as young as 12 years old, playing music steadily throughout his teens and twenties.

Alex started writing music in college as a passion project to break out of the limitations he felt playing cover songs. There, he met fellow long-time musicians and collaborators Rick Scott and Chad Terrell, and they joined Alex to write and produce songs from their home studio in Maumelle, AR (WaterWoods Studio). 

Since then, Alex, Chad, and Rick have continued writing and producing songs that reflect influences from several genres and three generations of music they wish to share with anyone who will listen. 

Thank you for checking out these songs, and stick around for more coming soon!

"Redder" is a palindrome. Like "racecar" or "level". These pieces of music ain't.

My name is Volker Redder, online I go by "docredder." It all came about because I studied biology and computer science for a long time and received my doctorate as the crowning achievement of my academic career.
As a child, I sang Bach in the church's „Knabenchor Unser Lieben Frauen“ because my mother thought it was good for my soul. And it was, until, thanks to an excellent teacher, I realized that music is like mathematics. After that, I loved not only music but also mathematics and all sciences based on mathematics: physics, biology, chemistry, computer science. So, I went straight into the natural sciences and engineering. Yes, I studied a lot. However, a university career wasn't for me. I wanted to monetize the findings of the various sciences (you can't live on air and love alone) and founded over a dozen companies. Because who wants life to follow a clear formula? I certainly didn't. In addition to adventurous entrepreneurship, the subsequent career in politics (German Bundestag), and a growing family, I was constantly picking up the guitar or keyboard, which is what you do when you want to escape the chaos of everyday life.
Should I say I'm a virtuoso? No. That would be a lie. I'm just too lazy for that. Laziness, or in modern parlance, "efficiency," is a principle for me. And so I founded my "own studio," consisting of a lot of electronics and software. The hipsters call it DIY. I call it "not wanting to act like a big shot and book expensive recording studios." I'm a one-man orchestra, a chef-d'oeuvre who spends all day producing pop, rock, indie, and ambient mishmash until he finally finds it he likes. My menu? Pink Floyd, Genesis, Supertramp, Muse, Zappa, Miles Davis, and many more. Yes, all at once. I told you: mishmash.
There are guys who write music to become famous. Then there's me. I write music to keep myself from going crazy. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes there's melancholy in it, sometimes it's stories from literature or something sci-fi. Or from Tinder dates my daughters have told me. I mean, who hasn't wondered what "being in Tinder light" is? Exactly. I wrote it down. I use everything I can get my hands on: GarageBand, samples, my voice, AI voices, Udio, VirtualDJ, everything! I don't care if purists say it's no longer art. It doesn't matter, the main thing is that my music feels like a window you can look out of and discover something new again and again.
Every song becomes a little adventure. Sometimes I start with a line, sometimes with a feeling I can't shake. It's like an escape from reality, except in the end, there's no escape. And that's a good thing. This is how I stay grounded. Okay, grounded isn't the right word either. Let me put it this way: I've stayed true to myself. And I'm grateful for everyone who listens, shares, or comments.
It makes me feel like I'm not completely alone in this madness. So if you also like songs that don't follow the rules, I'd be happy if you joined in. After all, the world is crazy enough.
You have to fight that with music. I mean, that's logical, right?
