In 2045, researchers at MindTech discovered an anomaly in neural networks used for direct data transmission into the human brain. They called this phenomenon “Phantom Scripts” — mysterious glitches in the code that activate when a person falls asleep or closes their eyes. Deprived of visual stimuli, the brain becomes more receptive and starts responding to internal impulses from the neuro-interface, generating unexpected images and phrases, as if creating messages from the void.

Analysis revealed that these scripts are particularly active during deep sleep or meditation, when the mind is most vulnerable to external influence, as though an intelligent force is attempting to communicate through the subconscious. What lies behind these messages and why they appear remains unknown. Perhaps the answers are hidden in the darkness itself.

It was hard to imagine that Proxima Centauri B, a planet with a high civilization index, would one day become a savage mining colony. The once-thriving clan of Castafarian Keepers had been torn apart by internal strife. The names of influential leaders were erased from history in a series of purges, while the more compliant ones sided with the darkness. Yet, scattered across the boundless landscapes, there were still those who remained true to the ancient traditions.

— Are we sure this Kujo guy got it right? First the portal, then the memory module, and now the trip to here. This is madness, Doc!
— Sometimes, even I forget what I am truly after. Let’s just enjoy the view for now. We’ll find out everything soon enough.

A glimmer of teleportation shimmered in the twilight. Queen of the Smorings was never late. Approaching Spacelunch and Cat, she nodded warmly: “So, how do you like it here?” The conversation flowed as naturally as if no time had passed since their last meeting. It was now clear that the disappearance of Nomad had been an omen of what was to come. The guidance of the warrior queen sounded definite and convincing. Once she was done, a burlap pouch containing an unknown mixture appeared in her hand as if conjured out of thin air. “Take this. It will help in your upcoming encounter. May the force of the elements be with you.” With the sun slipping below the horizon, the gathering of the elders was about to begin. There wasn’t a second to lose.

Toki Fuko captivates listeners with deep soundscapes and melancholic melodies. Insomnia is part of the four-track EP Phantom Scripts, set for release on 10th April on The Hague located splnch, available in both digital and vinyl formats on Bandcamp.

A hypnotic blend of soundscapes and field recordings, Insomnia navigates us through an eerie atmosphere. An initial sense of unease, but an underlying current of reassurance lingers throughout. The track transports you to a dimly lit room where fingers glide effortlessly across piano keys, merging electronic textures with classical composition. Midway, a voice sample emerges, adding depth to the narrative and drawing you further into a world explored through sound.

Insomnia evokes the feeling of creating messages from the void and the unknown.
