Soundtrack for the short play Protected Area.

Two men stand in front of a building. One is ready to deconstruct it for the other, but the final decision rests with the second. Their exchange unfolds as a fast, poetic dialogue, capturing a toxic relationship at its breaking point.

Parts of the play can loop multiple times, but this track is for the ending. The music, composed of synthetic strings and pads, blends with pitched-down bells and an electronic solo violin, carrying an apocalyptically pathetic tone with a rough, textured quality. Glitched and fragmented, it intertwines with the actors’ speech, lending the performance a deliberately low-quality operatic character that heightens its raw intensity.

Let It End

Collapse

The Algal Bloom is killing all marine life in South Australia and government inaction is pathetic!

Algal Bloom (Feat. Scarlet)

Avian and Loaded - It's Already Over (Reloaded)

After drifting in space for so long, he reached a point of no return.

It started to pull — inward, downward, forward.

When you’ve all but given up and there’s nothing left to do…

How do you accept your fate?
How do you make peace with what’s coming?

Gravity Horizon

Against all odds, he found himself in a strange place.

His body was no more, yet his conscience very much existed.

In the center of the Sun, time was non-existent. There was no heat, no pain — only awareness suspended in a loop of silence and light. Rebirth, into a higher order.

In a liminal, transcendent, unknowable space, in a state beyond reality comprehended by the human mind…

Is there such a thing as hope?

Reboot. Transform. Load.

The pull of the Sun became stronger and stronger.

As the ship got closer, the metal began to warp — glowing with heat, then cracking, then disintegrating.

What do you look back on, after such a harrowing journey?
Do you allow your conscience to disintegrate and disperse too?

Sonnensturz

This mission was high-stakes. 

“You’re our only hope,” they said.

„Two weeks and back.“

But, as he sat in the cockpit, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss.

What do you do when everything seems absolutely fine — but deep down, you just know something is wrong?

Liftoff

After such a long time in space — cut off, isolated — time no longer ticks. It melts and warps.

In the darkness, he floats. He thinks. He forgets.

Systems idle. Signals shift and fade. Memory flickers.

What becomes of your mind in the dark corners of space, when you’re confronted with this kind of loneliness?

Spectral Drift

The ship’s systems became unresponsive after a deep-space anomaly — a sudden rupture that shredded communications and scorched critical navigation controls.

Earth is out there, blue and unreachable. He desperately attempts to restore communication, but to no avail.

What do you do when you realize you can’t go back home?

Kein Weg heim
