From Del: "thought deeply about
total feeling evidancing
no theorized thing
so hear, today, and now
for those who do
you can

expect to find
believed in like good shoe
on holi and any day
stay lost

get laughters, tears, and movimento
a foto only felt
disc-shaped and flew
my close encounters
with music."

Radio Music Gallery 26 – Del Stephen

SOMETIMES I LOVE TOO MUCH

ITS LIZPS AND PISSING ON THE FREEWAY

BO PLAYBOYZ OR ANYTHING THAT LOOKZ COOL THAT LOOKZ COOL

[Intro] 

Yeah.

I'm letting go.

Watch me float.

[Verse 1 - Male Lead] 

I spent a lifetime fighting with the ground

Chasing the gravity, weighed by the pound

But looking at you, yeah, the physics don't apply

I’m falling up, I’m falling into the sky

Cutting the tether, cutting the rope

Trading the fear for a little bit of hope

[Pre-Chorus 1] 

The atmosphere is fading out (So far)

I’m forgetting what the world was about (No scar)

Everything is heavy, everything is stone

Until I found you, I was always alone

[Chorus - Male Lead] 

I’m in Zero G (Weightless)

You’re holding onto me (Breathless)

No up, no down, no floor, no ceiling

I’m drunk on the rush of this vertiginous feeling

(Floating away.)

Here to stay.

Zero G.

[Verse 2 - Female Spoken Word / Glitch Flow] 

I checked the math, the numbers don't align

We’re floating off the edge of the design

The trajectory is broken, the vector is erased

I’m staring at the void and I’m loving how it tastes

Absolute silence, absolute cold

I’m rewriting the stories that we were always told

Gravity is just a theory that we finally disproved

Nothing left to hold us down, nothing left to be removed

You’re the sun, I’m the moon, blocking out the light

A total eclipse in the middle of the night

Suspended in the moment, frozen in the frame

I’m forgetting my coordinates, forgetting my own name

Data stream corrupted, logic falling apart

I’m mapping out the nebula inside of your heart

No oxygen required, no tether to the ship

I’m living for the crash, yeah I’m living for the slip

[Pre-Chorus 2] 

The atmosphere is fading out (So far)

I’m forgetting what the world was about (No scar)

Everything is heavy, everything is stone

Until I found you, I was always alone

[Chorus] 

I’m in Zero G (Weightless)

You’re holding onto me (Breathless)

No up, no down, no floor, no ceiling

I’m drunk on the rush of this vertiginous feeling

(Floating away.)

Here to stay.

Zero G.

[Bridge]

Un-teth-ered.

Un-moored.

I'm. Yours.

I'M YOURS!

[Final Chorus] 

I’m in Zero G (Yeah, weightless!)

You’re holding onto me (So breathless!)

No up, no down, no floor, no ceiling!

Just this feeling!

Never let me go!

Zero G.

[Outro] 

Don't let go.

I got you.

11-29-25 (Coil:  MU-UR reworked)

Living room one take demo of my track Know This.

Lyrics:

Reaching back for that little girl
with the weight of the world on her shoulders;
arms outstretched like wings unfurled
calling down the winds, even gravity can’t hold her.
She’s ready to fight, ready to fall,
ready to rise again, ride the storm;
and wondering where and when she’ll be
when she finally comes to ground.

Know that you’re right.
Know that you’re strong.
Know that you’re alight with a siren’s song.
Know that this fight, this flight, will only last so long.

Reaching back for that little girl
moving mountains boulder by boulder.
An oyster creating a pearl;
layers of shimmering beauty coating, transmuting disaster.
She’s ready to fight, ready to fall,
ready to rise again, ride the storm;
and wondering where and when she’ll be
when she finally comes to ground.

Know that you’re right.
Know that you’re strong.
Know that you’re alight with a siren’s song.
Know that this fight, this flight, will only last so long.

One day you’ll wrap yourself in gravity
not worrying if you’re lost or found;
one day you’ll wrap yourself in gravity 
and let your breath call you back down to ground.


Know This Demo

Starseed (Original Mix)

“**Act Like That?**” hits with a raw mix of rap, rock, and truth-telling grit.
This track calls out the chaos, the ego, and the self-destruction we sometimes fall into—while reminding us there’s a better way out. Hard verses, a hook that punches, and an outro that cuts straight to the heart:

It’s tough love. It’s accountability. It’s a challenge to rise above the noise, the drama, and the pain we create for ourselves.
Whether you’ve lived it, seen it, or survived it, this song speaks to that moment when you finally step back and decide to **change the cycle**.

Turn it up, share it if it hits you, and drop a comment—
this one’s for anyone trying to break out and grow up.



Act Like That

i pissed in an amusement park and i liked it

Raised in Concrete Washington, I learned to play the guitar when I was 12 years old.  We had a music teacher by the name of Daryl Cooper who was like my older brother.  He started a guitar class and I couldn't wait to be in it.  By the 2nd or 3rd week I had probably outgrown the class but I enjoyed every minute of it.  I was in his band by the time I was 14 playing dances all over Western Washington.  I was awarded the National Choral Award Scholarship my senior year of high school.  This goes to one student in the United States.  I wasn't smart enough to use it.  I joined the United States Navy in 1979 and stayed for almost 22 years.  During that time I was a submariner and eventually the pilot of a small submersible (DSV3 Turtle) that would dive to 10,000 feet deep.  I was in bands playing guitar and singing throughout my military career.  We actually had a couple songs play on DC101 in the 80's.  Now in my 60's, I'm able to relax and write songs without any pressure or dreams of grandeur.  I like the songs I write and hope you like them too.

Phase Chroma is a high-concept duo occupying the luminous, melancholic space between Progressive Structure and Ethereal Art-Pop. Formed around a striking duality—precise, structural synth work meets vast, dreamy vocal atmospheres—the project exists to explore emotional resonance through meticulous design. Their music sounds like the aftermath of a beautiful, systemic failure. Tracks like the digitally fractured "Neon Decay" and the liquid, intimate vastness of "Ripples in the Void" showcase their signature approach: cinematic soundscapes where every layered texture and subtle metric shift is intentional. Phase Chroma doesn't just make music; they manufacture deeply felt sonic tension for the quiet, empty hours.
