"Ladies & Gentlemen, Welcome to the Annual General Meeting of the Dark Ocean Society" by Darkk Messiahs is a brooding journey into the depths of dark jazz and beats. Anchored by Sticks Thompson’s commanding drums and Wilt Flowers’ pulsating bass, the track is a rhythm-driven exploration, with Sonny Rhodes’ piano lines weaving elegant motifs through the sonic tapestry. Guy Stansfield’s clarinet and Blue Six’s trumpet add haunting melodies that rise and fall like waves, evoking a mysterious, oceanic atmosphere. This piece blurs the lines between groove and noir, delivering a cinematic experience drenched in shadow.

Electric Allure is a nocturnal blend of techno rhythms and smoky jazz atmospheres. A trumpet's cry meets cascading synths in a city where shadows dance and neon pulses guide the way. This track is for those who lose themselves in sound — and find something deeper in the dark.

Electric Allure

"Mushroom" is a 14-minute sonic journey through industrial shadows and psychedelic textures.
Blending elements of EBM, darkwave, and electronic experimentation, this track grows slowly, layer by layer, like a strange fungus blooming in a wet city street.

At 100 BPM, it pulses with hypnotic energy — designed for deep listening, introspection, or nocturnal wandering.
Best experienced in the dark, with headphones, and no distractions.

🎛️ No samples, no presets — just crafted sounds and audio mutations.
This is a personal exploration of texture, rhythm, and atmosphere — where noise becomes beauty, and repetition becomes trance.

[Verse 1]  
Flickers of you haunt these shattered halls,  
Cold light through blinds; I’m drowning in the fall.  
Whispered secrets echo where we once lay,  
Now shadows choke the words I couldn’t say.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Rou, I’m tethered to the ghost of what we were,  
Fractured hopes in every silent blur.  

[Chorus]  
This cruel game stole the warmth right from my veins.  
Rou, your name’s a blade I chase through endless rain.  
I’m broken on the edge of wanting you again,  
Lost in the ache, I’m bleeding for Rou.  

[Verse 2]  
Night air tastes of all the things we lost;  
Your absence like a knife, it cuts across.  
I trace your name in frost upon my skin,  
Each letter burns a wound I’ll never mend.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Rou, your echo’s all that stirs my hollow heart;  
I’m falling into pieces torn apart.  

[Chorus]  
This cruel game stole the warmth right from my veins.  
Rou, your name’s a blade I chase through endless rain.  
I slip beneath the weight of all I can’t contain,  
Drowning in the ache, I’m bleeding for Rou.  

[Bridge]  
Walls close in on truths we left unsaid.  
If tears could ransom, I’d pay with every breath.  
Rou, I’d walk through fire just to feel you near,  
But fear remains the final voice I hear.  

[Final Chorus]  
This cruel game stole the warmth right from my veins.  
Rou… your name’s the echo in my hollow frame.  
And I’ll wait in darkness, hoping you remain,  
The ghost I’m still bleeding for — Rou.

A haunting lament of love’s aftermath—“Cruel Game” is a raw confession of longing, where every echo of Rou’s name cuts deeper than the last. It drifts through shadows, exposing the wounds of desire and the ghost we chase in vain.

Cruel Game

[Verse 1]  
You're so calm when you're unraveling, dear,  
You're a dream when you're not listening, dear—  
I'm fading.  

[Verse 2]  
You're the only one who swears there's nothing  
Left to feel in this connection—  
That's your grand confession.  
You're a last kiss, a static echo,  
The applause after affection—  
It defines you, too.  

You can't pretend while I'm away  
That you won't play back every day  
The ways we lost control.  
But don't reach out—I'm  
Residing in a silence  
That won't take your name anymore.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Something to post,  
Something to prove,  
Nothing feels close  
When there's nothing to lose (ah, ah).  

[Chorus]  
Sleep tight, streetlight—  
We've got two hundred eyes that saw us last night.  
Sleep tight, streetlight—  
Your lips were saying love, but your eyes said goodbye.  
Sleep tight, spotlight—  
Pretend it's right, pretend it's right,  
Pretend tonight.  

[Verse 3]  
You're the only version of my fiction  
That I almost believed—through  
All the staged conviction.  
You're a past fever, last teaser—  
I'm scrubbing off the preview  
Of how we once aligned.  

[Bridge]  
Don't try to find me—  
I'm parked between regret and reinvention.  
That kiss on 4th and Vine—  
It played like cinema,  
But it meant decline.  

[Chorus – Reprise] 
Sleep tight, streetlight—  
We've got two hundred eyes that saw us last night.  
Sleep tight, streetlight—  
Your lips were saying love, but your eyes said goodbye.  
Sleep tight, spotlight—  
Pretend it's right, pretend it's right,  
Pretend tonight.

Passionate artist and music producer blending diverse genres to create sonic landscapes that resonate.

Project KT (standing for Knowledge Transfer) is the solo creative project of Kareem Tyler, a multidimensional being navigating the constraints of the physical realm through immersive, genre-blending artistry. Blending progressive rock, symphonic fusion, post‑punk ambience, and a touch of metallic catharsis, Project KT crafts cinematic soundscapes rooted in raw poetry, violin-led instrumentation, and emotional tension.

After a life-altering accident that caused partial vocal cord paralysis and ended his ability to play piano, Kareem reinvented his creative process with digital composition and visual art—turning personal trauma into transcendent expression. His music now explores loss, longing, and rebirth through long-form storytelling and orchestral depth. Though Project KT remains firmly his own vision—overseeing lyricism, production, and artwork—he is actively seeking a female vocalist collaborator to give voice to the remaining untold emotional core.

With a vibrant presence on Instagram and BandLab, Project KT continues building cross-medium narratives that fuse sound, image, and meaning. If you are a vocalist or visual artist drawn to gothic romanticism, cinematic drama, and genre-fluid experimentation, Project KT invites you into the echo.
