You don’t fight, you don’t cry,
You just nod and pass me by.
No more flames, just dying coals,
No more hearts, just empty roles.

Your touch is there, but not for me,
Just muscle memory set free.
No hesitation, no regret,
Just love that learned how to forget.

This is worse than being hated,
Worse than feeling torn apart.
Every look is tired and faded,
Like I was never in your heart.
This is worse than being hated!

I’d take screaming, I’d take war,
But not this cold, not anymore.
Even anger, even lies,
At least I’d see it in your eyes.

I scream inside, but make no sound,
You wouldn’t notice anyhow.
No sharp edges, no deep scars,
Just a love that fades to dark.

This is worse than being hated,
Worse than feeling torn apart.
Every look is tired and faded,
Like I was never in your heart.
This is worse than being hated!

This is worse than being hated,
Worse than feeling torn apart.
Every look is tired and faded,
Like I was never in your heart.
This is worse than being hated!
Worse than being hated!

Worse Than Being Hated

Sometimes when you roll out, it's gotta be an early one. This track is for cruising in the whip before the sun cracks the dawn horizon. 

Morning Darkness

DISCLAIMER: Of course, this isn't a real title song for a real Bond film. It's a satirical reminiscence of a certain Bond music style.

In shadows cast by velvet night, he moves without a sound,
A license carved in whispered death where secrets all are drowned.
The networks scream, machines conspire beneath their coded veil,
But 007 walks the line, where lesser men would fail.

Their circuits hide in firewalls wide, they crawl through every net,
No borders hold the bots of cold, their plan a global threat.
Yet Bond remains, with nerve and aim, beneath a tailored suit,
He cuts through lies with steel and eyes, his vengeance sharp and mute.

Rise, rise, we’ll tear the sky apart!
Defy, defy, the cold machine’s heart!
With flesh and fire, we’ll claim our desire,
Rise, rise, we’ll break the chains and start!

From satellites to crimson skies, the hunter finds his prey,
With every shot, he rewrites plots, and keeps the end at bay.
A world at stake, the code will break beneath his loaded vow,
No alien mind, no bot-designed, will ever rule us now.

Rise, rise, we’ll tear the sky apart!
Defy, defy, the cold machine’s heart!
With flesh and fire, we’ll claim our desire,
Rise, rise, we’ll break the chains and start!

The servers fall, their sirens call, 
Now overthrown, beneath the rebel sky.
With every spark, we light the dark, humanity’s rebirth,
From ashes grand, we’ll walk the land, and claim our sacred earth.

Rise, rise, we’ll tear the sky apart!
Defy, defy, the cold machine’s heart!
With flesh and fire, we’ll claim our desire,
Rise, rise, we’ll break the chains and start!
Oh, rise, we’ll break the chains…
Oh, rise, humanity remains…

Quantum Protocol

Ten loud Nazis, stomping through the square,
Shouting their nonsense into open air.
One read a book, and dropped the act,
Now there were nine with fiction to attack.

One by one, they spin around,
Tripping on lies, tumbling down.
Truth’s too strong, too wide, too sound,
The Nazis fell down, deep to the ground!

Nine bold Nazis, fists up high,
Mocking the world, waving flags in the sky.
One met a nurse with a different view,
He listened once, now there were two.

Oops, wait, math’s gone wrong, oh no!
'Cause seven more just didn’t show.

One by one, they spin around,
Tripping on lies, tumbling down.
Truth’s too strong, too wide, too sound,
The Nazis fell down, deep to the ground!

They built a tower out of blame,
But paper walls can’t take the flame.
Ignorance has a ticking clock,
And kindness knocks it off the block.

One by one, they spin around,
Tripping on lies, tumbling down.
Truth’s too strong, too wide, too sound,
The Nazis fell down, deep to the ground!

One by one, they fade from view,
Caught in webs they thought were true.
Hearts wake up with every sound,
The Nazis fell down, deep to the ground!

One by one, they fade from view,
Caught in webs they thought were true.
Hearts wake up with every sound,
The Nazis fell down, deep to the ground!

One By One

Da ist ein Klang, der sich erhebt und schwebt, 
Von Soundcloud-Wellen sanft getragen, 
Ein milder Hauch, 
Der Mauern überwindet, überlebt, 
Und Grenzen sprengt, die wir in unseren Köpfen haben.
Die Töne schwingen, unberührt von Leid und Streit, 
Hier an dem Ort, wo Seelen sich begegnen. 
All das, was Menschen trennt durch Ort und Zeit, 
Wird hier mit Harmonie und Klang zu neuem Leben.
Ein jeder Klang ist Licht, das Mauern überwindet,
Die alte Finsternis zerbricht, und neues Leben findet.
Ein Hauch von Klang, der Grenzen sprengt, 
die wir in unseren Köpfen haben.
Ein Klang, der sich erhebt und schwebt, 
Von Harmonie und Liebe sanft getragen.

Ein Engel neigt sich, lauschend dieser Macht, 
Wie Menschen zueinander finden im Akkord. 
Die Zwietracht stirbt in dieser heil'gen Nacht, 
Die Waffen schweigen still, der Klang gewinnt das Wort!
Ein jeder Klang ist Licht, das Mauern überwindet,
Die alte Finsternis zerbricht, und neues Leben findet.
Ein Hauch von Klang, der Grenzen sprengt, 
die wir in unseren Köpfen haben.
Ein Klang, der sich erhebt und schwebt, 
Von Harmonie und Liebe sanft getragen.

Ein jeder Klang ist Licht, das Mauern überwindet,
Die alte Finsternis zerbricht, und neues Leben findet.
Ein Hauch von Klang, der Grenzen sprengt, 
die wir in unseren Köpfen haben.
Ein Klang, der sich erhebt und schwebt, 
Von Harmonie und Liebe sanft getragen.

So wachsen Brücken, zart und ungesehen, 
Aus jedem Lied, das in die Weite dringt. 
Und was einst schien, als müsst es untergehen, 
Schwingt sich ins Licht und klingt - und klingt - und klingt.

So wunderschön!

Ein Hauch von Klang

The earth breathes thin, a gasping sigh,
A landscape scorched beneath the sky.
The ravens keen, black tatters fly,
Witnessing what fire passed by.

Oh, the silence where the laughter died,
A broken dream, a world denied.
Yet in the dust, where spirits hide,
A fading whisper, by our side.

Where are the hands that sowed the grain?
The melodies that eased the pain?
Only an echo, lost to rain,
A fading whisper, all in vain.

Oh, the silence where the laughter died,
A broken dream, a world denied.
Yet in the dust, where spirits hide,
An angel whispers, by our side.

They trace the ash, a gentle gleam,
A beauty lingering in a dream.
In every blade, a hopeful stream,
A promise, stronger than it seems.
For endings hold a tender seed,
A quiet rising, to succeed.
Oh, the silence where the laughter died,
A broken dream, a world denied.
Yet in the dust, where spirits hide,
An angel whispers, by our side.

Oh, the silence where the laughter died,
A broken dream, a world denied.
Yet in the dust, where spirits hide,
An angel whispers, by our side.

So pure, this breath, though barely known,
By God's own grace, forever sown.

purple dream 2

ominous cloud

Lost Media Anarchy [retro queen version]

Day: 65 of teaching myself how to make music
Tried my best to mix and master but still need more practice, incorporated some drops and synths to give it true tech house vibe. Still need to work on my synths

Kiss It

longtimefriend

On Titan's shore, the air is new
An atmosphere of silver-blue
The ground we shaped, a lonely stage
To turn a cosmic, final page

The king of rings begins to bow
I watch him sink, I don't know how
This broken heart of light and dust
Can fill my own with so much trust

If I cried out, a fragile plea...
Who in this void would answer me?
Oh, Saturn falling, falling down, down
A silent fire, a heavy crown
This awful beauty I have found
And I don't dare to make a sound

A beauty made of cosmic dust
A silent witness to my lust
For something real in this cold place
Reflected in my human face

Falling down, the light, the grace
Falling out of time and space
Oh, Saturn falling, falling down, down
A silent fire, a heavy crown
This awful beauty I have found
And I don't dare to make a sound

My name dissolves, my body breaks
For every breath the silence takes
I am the eye, I am the gleam
A waking part of this strange dream
Oh, Saturn falling, falling down, down
A silent fire, a heavy crown
This awful beauty I have found
And I don't dare to make a sound

Saturn Fall
Saturn Fall
Part of the fall...
Part of the light...
A fading whisper...
In the endless night...

Oh, Saturn falling, falling down, down
A silent fire, a heavy crown
This awful beauty I have found
And I don't dare to make a sound

Saturn Is Falling

A fast, synth-heavy, energetic track in A-minor, also featuring an electric guitar for some reason.

ANTICYCLONIC ELIXIR

Die Jahre fielen wie der Schnee
Auf meine kalte Hand.
Ich sah nicht, wie die Zeit vergeht,
In diesem leeren, fremden Land.
Dein Wort war wie ein schöner Schein,
Der Wärme und Hoffnung versprach.
Nun bin ich mit dem Frost allein,
Und trauer’ deinen Lügen nach.

Bring mir die leeren Jahre wieder,
Die ich in deinem Blick verlor.
Sing unsere alten, stillen Lieder,
Ich singe fröhlich mit – im Chor.
Bring mir die Zeit zurück, die deinen
Miesen Betrug so schön verhüllt.

Ein Teufel malte dein Gesicht
Aus falschem Morgenglanz.
Ich tanzte in dem irren Licht
Den unerhörten Tanz.
Nun ist die Melodie verweht,
Die Tänzer alle wund.
Ein stummes, sinnloses Gebet
Aus meinem leeren Mund.

Bring mir die leeren Jahre wieder,
Die ich in deinem Blick verlor.
Sing unsere alten, stillen Lieder,
Ich singe fröhlich mit – im Chor.
Bring mir die Zeit zurück, die deinen
Miesen Betrug so schön verhüllt.
Ich bin der Stein vor deinem Schrein,
Der sich mit eignen Tränen füllt.

Ein dummer Vogel war ich, dir gesandt...
Er hat sein Lied vertan...
Hat deine finstere Seele nicht erkannt...
Und fängt nun neu zu singen an.

Bring mir die leeren Jahre wieder,
Die ich in deinem Blick verlor.
Sing unsere alten, stillen Lieder,
Ich singe fröhlich mit – im Chor.
Bring mir die Zeit zurück, die deinen
Scheiß Betrug so schön verhüllt.
Ich bin der Stein vor deinem Schrein,
Der sich mit eignen Tränen füllt.

Lantern Roads

An 11-year-old FL studio ambient-hype beat producer from Albany, GA. She is mostly addressed by "siouxxii," born on April 3, 2014. In summer 2023, she started singing on Bandlab and released 4 albums. In late 2024, she stopped singing and started producing because she decided that she  no longer wanted to sing anymore.

When she started to produce music, she learned about music theory, like the C major scale and the C minor scale. She also learned about the Camelot wheel.

Her dream is to be big and travel to Brazil. 

My brother @chxnskii is my first fan - siouxxii


I compose electronic music in my free time.
I make music that does not benefit the existence of any human on this planet to any extent whatsoever. Enjoy. Or maybe not.

Don’t trust music that sells the high.
Switch sides. Follow me.
From synthetic escape to homegrown sound.

Raw, not polished.
Loud enough to shake you.
Quiet enough to hear yourself.

Follow me.
Into the sonic perception of an introverted mind —
driven by motion, field-recorded.
I don't make music to be heard. 
I make it because I've been silent for too long.

Music built to drift, not to please.

"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?

Insiriping Producer, Started teaching myself how to make music at the start of 2025 as my new years resolution.

Still in my learning era
Experimenting and Limit testing with each track.
