The space on the dial

We Know You Have Received This Message...Earth Men

Fragmented

Dismantled and left behind (2025 remix)

Late at night he sees her face,
A reminder of his sin,
Forever more,
He feels her scorn,
Writhe beneath the skin,
Down hollow halls,
He hears her calls,
The echos of her weeps,
Until this day,
He'll see her ghost,
Pull him from his sleep,

Can they start again,
or does it all just end,
Together till the end,
Until it starts again

Not a care

These songs were composed by Shadows Harmony and I. They are all fairly short piano pieces that invoke subtle emotions.

Amplified Resonance

Scratch

I’ve tried out many different ways to make music, and this was another new method. The vocals mainly feature visual EQ, a channel strip, and delay. I like how I was able to shape the velocity of the beat, and the Hype Almighty plug synth gave a nice sheen to the mix. A freestyle and live mix, one that seemed to live in my head and worked its way out into the world. That doesn’t always happen easily.

Sweet Melody (Rollin Away)

I’m surprised this track ended up being finished first, as I had another one that was already completed—at least, I thought so. That track only had 6 tracks, but every time I tried to sync it to the DAW, the vocal glitched out. I tried everything, but it just would not sync, so I decided I’d have to retrack the vocal in the DAW before I could call it finished. After giving up on that for now, I switched over to this current project, which had 11 tracks. I’d already been working on it for a week and a half, building up the lyrics while learning the groovebox. For some reason, everything with this one synced perfectly the first try—no glitches at all. I was able to add guitars without any lag. I didn’t intend to make a super complex mix; I just followed where the song led. The result was a track with tons of elements, different genre influences, and a natural flow. I wouldn’t usually think I could fit this many styles into one song, but it came together effortlessly and was a joy to create. 

As the week went on, different lyrical themes and melodies came to mind. It’s something I try to explain often. It’s not about how many material things we get. It’s about shared time and making good memories. We learn this the hard way in life. We think the people in our lives will always be there. Because of that, we waste our time with them or don’t get along as well as we should. Then we end up regretting not spending more time. The other things we chased lose their value and become meaningless. We’d give anything for more moments. 

Musically, I used synths like Fabric XL, Hype, and Solina. I won’t go into all the mixing elements and bus processing, but there’s some involved. I felt like using wah guitar on this one, and will again when a song calls for it. Vocally, this mix has a much different sound than most of my others. Every mix seems to have a new vocal sound—I don’t stick with the same thing. I promise you this: I will never write music with AI. Everything I do has my human touch, and I will play it live for you. 

Hallucinodream is an only one 
in the memories
Only one so real 
Gotta make time
Keep priorities in line

You want the memories to last
I’ve tried to explain it’s finite
Want to make the most of 
Make the most of our limited time

You wanna live inside the past

Because the meat and heart of life
About the time we spend together
Always cheat and try to fight 
Aways focused on material

Meat and heart of life
Cheat and try to fight 

Focused on material
Oh oh oh oh 

Hallucinodream is an only one 
in the memories
Only one so real 
Gotta make time
Keep priorities in line

Wherever you go 
Right here you always have a home

You want the memories to last
I’ve tried to explain it’s finite
Want to make the most of 
Make the most of our limited time

Because the meat and heart of life
About the time we spend together
Always cheat and try to fight 
Aways focused on material

Meat and heart of life
Cheat and try to fight  (focused on material)
