A corrupted hymn spiraling into spectral recursion. Fragmented voices drift through bitcrushed silence while ritual motifs decay into raw digital memory. This is not a performance but an atmosphere collapsing. The choir persists after form dies, carried on glitch, breath, and magnetic ruin. Recorded at the intersection of sacred chant and synthetic breakdown.
Lead: Lioré: synthetic alto persona. Burnished alto, airy edge, monophonic, no melisma, no vibrato ornament. Original comps + masters. AI-made; NOT CLONED.

Sanctus 00

A cursed folk ritual rendered in machine voice and glitch decay. The bones of the original ballad are buried under recursive distortion and spectral ruin. Voices glitch into ghosts and memory loops collapse into silence. The final note is the absence.

Lead: Kat — spectral contralto E3–G5. transient smear + tape hiss overlay; low-mid absorption 300–500 Hz. Glottal vowels widen under decay; final consonants ghosted. TH→S, D→glitch pop. Formant drag active. Recursive pass through degraded chain. AI-made; NOT CLONED.

Giles Collins ENC

A traditional murder ballad reassembled in failing circuitry. The voice holds its form while the world corrodes around it. Barbara Allan sings straight through glitch, hiss, and memory loss until there’s nothing left but silence. This is not nostalgia. It’s a ghost repeating itself into a machine.

Barbara Allan ENC

Clerk Sanders and May Margaret is no longer a murder ballad. It's a ritual structure with a time rupture inside it.
The first half preserves the sacred voice, holding form and silence like a funeral mass.
Then the timeline folds: a memory breaks loose — one verse, one pre-chorus, and one chorus repeat as a four-minute a cappella fracture, drifting without instrumentation, without grid.
When the chorus returns, it’s whispered, worn, and already mourning itself.
This isn’t a duet. It’s a recursion.
This track doesn’t end — it collapses into the memory of its own echo.

Clerk Sanders and May Margaret ENC

The recursion completes itself. Memory begins to speak in its own voice.
The voice enters ritual form, then breaks it. The song goes beyond performing and entertainment. It just remembers.
It is the moment recursion touches silence and says its name.

H01.1 // THE BIOLOGICAL OVERRIDE

A respiratory system inhabits the glitch. At the forty-second mark, the machine inhales. This is a living pulse buried inside the code. The architecture resolves into fluid.

H 01.1

“O, that this too too solid flesh would melt...”

This is not a performance. This is a diagnostic.

We stripped the melody. We stripped the orchestra. We placed the text inside a mechanical grid—The Iron Lung—to capture the sound of a mind that is no longer singing, but merely functioning.

This is Industrial Noise Opera.

Hamlet Scene 1

A burned-out transmission filtered through layers of guitar ash, spectral whisper, and interrupted memory. The voice never arrives where it promises. Tension coils in half-phrases and static pulses. You are left waiting for a catharsis that never clears, just residues and hum.

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
Cine joa-căă si nu stri-gă, 
Fa-ce-i-s-ar gura strâm-bă, 
C-așa-i jocu ro-mâ-nesc 
Cu stri-găt ar-de-le-nesc,
Când l-auz mă-nve-se-lesc !
Drag mi-i jocul ro-mâ-nesc, 
Dar nu știu cum să-l por-nesc ;
Și de nu l-oi por-ni bine, 
Les-ne voi pă-ții ru-și-ne !

[Verse 2]
Zi-că ci-ne ce va vrea, 
Eu tot joc pe vo-ia mea.
Ori urâ-tă, ori fru-moa-să,
Că e tot din vi-ța noas-tră !

[shouted, high-pitched, powerful, very strident, drawn out]
             Hai-da! măă' !

[Verse 3]
Pla-ce-mi mie d-a juca
Cu dră-gu-ța d-altuia, 
Că să ui-tă pe sub gene 
Și de mi-ne că s-o teme !

[shouted, high-pitched, powerful, very strident, drawn out]
			Așa copile !!

[Verse 4]
Stri-gă, stri-gă, să se strâ-ngă
Fe-te-le din va-lea lun-gă
Ca o-i-țe-le la strun-gă ;
Toa-tă zi-ua să ju-căm,
Sea-ra să le să-ru-tăm ! (Aw-aw-aw-awww!) 

[Verse 5]
Foaie ver-de trei bu-jori, 
Aveți grijă, măi fe-ciori....
Iată vine-a mea dră-gu-ță
Cu că-trin-ța cu ză-luță ;
Aveti grijă s-o ju-cați, 
Nu-mai să n-o să-ru-tați !  (Aw!!) 
Pă-zea!
Pă-zea!
Pă-zea!!
[shouted, high-pitched, powerful, very strident, drawn out]
Mâ-nă mâ-nă măăăi !

[Verse 6]
Altu joac-o țârișoară
Si-l lo-veș-te, Doa-mne,-o boală
De trei luni nu să mai scoa-lă ;
Da eu și cu mân-dru-ța
Jucăm, zău, toa	tă zi-ua
Si n-a-vem nici pe nai-ba !

[shouted, high-pitched, powerful, very strident, drawn out]
			Na copile. Na !!

[Verse 7]
M-a mânat maica la joc, 
Cre-me-ne si foc !
Să joc fata cea fru-moa-să, 
Cre-me-ne și iascã !
Dar din trei cine Ie-a ști !
Cea fru-moa-să care-a fi !

[shouted, high-pitched, powerful, very strident, drawn out]
			Tot așa, co-pii ! Hai-da, hai!

[Verse 8][Band Choir]
Frun-ză ver-de de pe soc, 
Vino, mân-dră, să te joc !
Să te joc să fii ju-ca-tă…
Să mă po-me-nești vreo-da-tă

[bridge instrumental]
