VNV Nation - Invictus (Synthwave Edit)

It's finally here! Been working on this for the past three months, and it does NOT sound anything like it did in the beginning. I guess that's how you surprise yourself. Hope you like it, and if you want to share it with your friends or on social media, I wouldn't mind at all!

For Dreamy...

Verse 1:
Watch the world today
To see what's there to find
In spite of all the lies behind
One truth will realize
To last, or be the last in someone's eyes

Bridge:
It's easy to pretend
You wanna be my friend
Naive until the end
But I'll get by
Cause who wants to be alone
In a world without a soul
So find a way to use me
Don't leave me on my own

Chorus:
There's a part of me
That always seem to be
Given up only to break so easily
What's going on with me
I'd trade eternity to
bathe in your emerald light

Sanctuary
It's kinda scary
And the thought of someone loving me
makes me weary
So tell me, dreamy
Do you still dream about that
bright sky from the other night

Verse 2:
Let my thoughts decay
Speak what's on your mind
What's the endgame here
To last, or be the last to dry your tears

SackeAD - Emerald Light

The song is about the fusion of the past and future, represented through the imagery of ancient fire and modern technology. It captures the energy of both old and new, with drums symbolizing primal power and wires representing technological advancement. The rhythm and flow evoke a sense of connection, as hearts and energy collide to amplify the future. It's a celebration of progress and the convergence of time.

Poisen 4

(Verse 1)
Rust-fed ivy swallows fences,
roots curl tight around the past.
Somewhere, tracks dissolve in 
distance,
silver veins beneath the glass.
Footsteps bloom in fragile gold,
pressed, but joy remains untold
(Chorus)
Where the roads unwind,
turning with the tide.
(Chorus)
Where the roads unwind,
turning with the tide.
Nothing left behind,
only what we hide.
Where the roads unwind...
Cranes fold tight in paper silence,
wings untouched by wind or sky.
Letters sealed in waxless absence,
names unspoken, left to dry.
Footsteps bloom in brittle soil,
pressed but never taken.
Where the roads unwind,
turning with the tide.
Nothing left behind,
only what we hide.
Where the roads unwind...
(Bridge)
Lanterns lilt in amber,
moths dissolve in slumber
I reach for signs, folded thin,
but silence folds them back again.
Where the roads unwind,
turning with the tide.
Nothing left behind,
only what we hide.
Where the roads unwind...

🩵✨ The Miracle Syndicate – Beloved

It's colder than before
The seasons took all they had come for
Now winter dances here
It seems so fitting, don't you think?
To dress the ground in white and grey

It's so quiet I can hear
My thoughts touching every second
That I spent waiting for you
Circumstances afford me
No second chance to tell you
How much I've missed you

My beloved, do you know
When the warm wind comes again
Another year will start to pass
Please don't ask me why I'm here
Something deeper brought me
Than a need to remember

We were once young and blessed with wings
No heights could keep us from their reach
No sacred place we did not soar
Still greater things burned within us
I don't regret the choices that I've made
I know you feel the same

My beloved, do you know
How many times I stared at clouds
Thinking that I saw you there
These are feelings that do not pass so easily
I can't forget what we claimed was ours

Moments lost, though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that I might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits

The Miracle Syndicate

"And thus the heart will break, yet brokenly live on: Even as a broken mirror." —Lord Byron

Founded and produced by Brad Astra

The Miracle Syndicate is an independent alternative music collective formed by Canadian producer and composer Brad Astra. Emerging from the outer edges of post-punk, dream pop, and shoegaze, the band’s sound fuses analog textures with emotional memory to create songs that feel both haunted and deliberate. Since its quiet inception, The Miracle Syndicate has grown into a global presence, with listeners drawn to its deeply personal recordings and cinematic tone.

The project began during a period marked by grief, transition, and emotional exile. Music became a way to stay present. The first real sound came from instruments left untouched for years, carrying the dust of another lifetime. When Astra picked them up, it felt less like reclaiming them and more like listening to something that had been waiting. From that moment on, he began building a workflow that allowed his inner world to speak clearly. With limited gear and deep intention, he shaped a sound that resonated more with feeling than fidelity. Plugins and tools became secondary. 

The truth was already in the strings.

Silence plays an equal role in the work. Astra treats it not as absence, but as design. The pauses between tracks are measured, not left to default. A sudden stop may mark resolution, but songs that drift into a final coda are given space, a deliberate moment for reflection, like a breath held between movements in a classical piece. For Astra, silence is not the end of a song. It is the invitation to stay with it just a little longer. In The Miracle Syndicate, silence becomes its own form of listening.

The emotional core of the music is difficult to name, somewhere between nostalgia, longing, reverence, and grief. Astra likens it to opening an old box of forgotten belongings, photographs, letters, objects that once meant everything. In that moment, memory returns like a ghost. Not always sad. Not always warm. Just present. These songs carry that same essence, flashes of reverence, regret, gratitude, and time’s slow unraveling. The music blends melancholy with a quiet sense of hope, holding space for the listener to reflect on what was lost and what might still be waiting.

While Astra remains the central composer and producer, the project includes two essential collaborators whose personalities help define its emotional cadence and landscape. Nayeli Astra Xóchitl, with her instinctive phrasing and emotionally precise delivery, provides both lead and harmony vocals that shape the project’s most intimate textures. Elena Morgenstern, based in Berlin, contributes both front and background vocals along with her analog synth work, adding restraint and emotional tension in equal measure. Their contributions do not decorate the songs. They ground them.

"This project wasn’t built for attention. It was built to survive me. Every song is a small part of what I couldn’t say out loud."
— Brad Astra

There is no chase for resolution in the recordings. The tracks are sculpted with intention, often left slightly fractured, preserving the emotional architecture of what first inspired them. The sound is raw, cinematic, and deliberate, never aiming for polish, but rather for truth.

"The Miracle Syndicate became a place to keep the things I couldn’t carry. Over time, it turned into something that listens back."

Listeners often describe The Miracle Syndicate as a lifeline, music that finds them in moments of emotional disconnect and offers a place to land. These songs are not about escape. They are small remedies, designed to ease the quiet storms we carry alone. Astra’s work doesn’t just put sound to silence, it gives form to feelings that are hard to name and harder to share. The goal is never clarity. It is resonance. The Miracle Syndicate becomes a kind of mirror, reflecting back the parts of us we didn’t know were still trying to speak.

Astra writes for himself first. The songs must cut through his own silence before they reach anyone else. They begin as private reflections, emotional fragments shaped by time, distance, and a kind of love that never fully resolves. The music becomes a form of survival. Not in defiance of pain, but in companionship with it. The Miracle Syndicate is not just a project. It is presence. It is the way Astra remains connected to the emotional weather of a full life, not always visible, but always felt.

"I’ve stopped trying to be understood. I make these songs for the few who understand without needing to."

The Miracle Syndicate is not chasing recognition. It was never built for that. The music lives in the present, created with care, released with intention, and left to find those who are ready to hear it. Each song is like a quiet offering, sent into the dark in case someone out there needs it. There is no mapped-out future. No promise of clarity. Just the hope that a listener, somewhere, might feel a little less alone.

The music becomes a hand held quietly in the dark.

When the music stops, what remains is never loud. It is not legacy, and it is not noise. It is that final note, the one that plays behind the credits, stirring everything that came before. The Miracle Syndicate leaves behind a quiet trace, something just beneath the skin.

A sound that stays long after the song is over.

Der Synthesizer war schon immer für mich ein magisches Instrument.
In den 80ger und 90ger Jahren war er für mich unbezahlbar.
Jetzt im Zeitalter der virtuellen Instrumente und Homerecording Studios
sieht das ganze schon viel anderst aus. 
Inspiriert von Gruppen wie  Depeche Mode und Ultravox u.v.m habe ich meinen eigenen Musikstil gefunden.
Ich hoffe er gefällt Euch !
Tolle Musikvideos zu meinen Liedern findet ihr in auf YouTube

The synthesizer has always been a magical instrument for me.
In the 80s and 90s it was priceless to me.
Now in the age of virtual instruments and home recording studios
the whole thing looks a lot different. Inspired by groups like Depeche Mode and Ultravox and many more, I found my own style of music.
I hope you like him !
You can find great music videos for my songs on YouTube
