Proud to present my collaboration with Mark J Bennett (@markjbennett for more lovely music). 

Thanks so much Mark for creating such wonderful melodies and lyrics which describe the hardships of being in a long distance relationship in these crazy times. I am super happy with what we've created here.

I'd like to dedicate this song to my lovely Annie, I am so happy we are to be reunited soon! I love you.

Lyrics:
Nothing comes close to being close to you.

Suffering from this hunger,
Can’t go on much longer.
Hearing us on the same song,
Helps me stay sane and strong.

Nothing comes close to being close to you.

So far and yet so close,
But our love always shows.
Even though we are apart,
I can feel your heart.

Nothing comes close to being close to you.

A long distance affair,
How I wish I was there.
Distance lends enchantment,
Out of this confinement.

Nothing comes close to being close to you.

My friend Jake wrote an awesome poem as a birthday gift to a close friend of his. He recited it beautifully and it was a joy and and an honour to create music to it. 

We hope you'll enjoy listening to this <3

JD Risk - Birthday Gift To A Friend

I found this old track of mine that I still really liked, and since it sounded a bit more soulful/organic/pop than the more electronic stuff I usually do, I felt it would be a good idea to ask Mark (@markjbennett) to see if he would be up for the challenge to add some vocals to this. 

Thankfully, Mark agreed, and he came up with some lovely vocals. 
I'm really happy with the result and I hope you'll like it too!

Thank you Mark for another awesome collab!

LYRICS: 

Like Nothing I've Ever Known

Feels like nothing I've ever known
Takin’ me so long, 
A long way to go, 
Don’t know where I’m goin’, 
Don’t know what I’m feelin’, 
While my head is reelin’, 
Not sure what I’m sayin’, 
Am I goin’ or am I stayin’?

Like nothing I’ve ever known. 
Passion and exhilaration.

Takin’ me so long, 
A long way to go, 
Don’t know where I’m goin’,
 Don’t know what I’m feelin’, 
While my head is reelin’…

Passion and exhilaration.

…Takin’ me so long, 
A long way to go, 
Don’t know where I’m goin’, 
Don’t know what I’m feelin’, 
While my head is reelin’…  
Takin' me so long,
 Takin' me so long, 
A long way to go...

Won’t be the first time,
 Nor the last time, 
That I fall, fall in love. 
Yet this time, It just feels a little serious, 
Not a bad way, 
Just a sad way, 
I don’t know how to take.
 Yet this time,
 It just feels a little curious. 
Won’t be the first time, 
Or the last time, 
That I fall, fall in love. 
Yet this time, 
It just feels a little serious.

Feels like nothing I've ever known. 
Passion and exhilaration.

Takin' me so long, 
Takin' me so long, 
A long way to go...

Won’t be the first time,
 Nor the last time, 
That I fall, fall in love. 
Yet this time, It just feels a little serious, 
Not a bad way, 
Just a sad way, 
I don’t know how to take. 
Yet this time,
 It just feels a little curious.

Like Nothing I've Ever Known (Wane of Summer & Mark J Bennett)

The album: Wane of Summer - Obsidian
Luxe Obsidian, also known as Lucksy, was born in the city of Waterdeep in the Forgotten Realms. Her mother was a human sorceress, and her father was a tiefling rogue. Her parents were both part of a notorious thieves' guild, and Luxe was born into that world.

Growing up, Luxe had a natural talent for magic, and her mother quickly recognized her potential. She started teaching Luxe how to harness her powers, and before long, Luxe was performing magic tricks on the streets to distract and confuse the guild's enemies.

Luxe's father, however, didn't approve of his daughter's involvement in the guild. He believed that Luxe deserved a better life than the one he had given her, and he wanted her to have a chance at a normal life. So he secretly reached out to his old friend, Riven the Groundbreaker, and asked him to help him get Luxe out of the guild.

Riven agreed to help, and he and his companions staged a rescue mission to get Luxe out of the city. They managed to get her out safely, but not before Luxe's father was killed by the guild's leader, a powerful tiefling warlock named Malphas.

Luxe was devastated by her father's death, but she was also grateful to Riven and his companions for saving her. She decided to stay with them and help them in their adventures.

As they traveled together, Luxe honed her skills as a sorceress, and she became known for her luck-based spells and her uncanny ability to dodge danger. Her companions started calling her Lucksy, and the nickname stuck.

Luxe eventually learned about Malphas' plans to unleash a powerful demon on the world, and she and her companions set out to stop him. In the final battle, Luxe used all of her magic to summon a powerful storm that destroyed Malphas and his army of demons.

After the battle, Luxe and her companions went their separate ways. Luxe decided to stay in Waterdeep and use her magic to help others. She opened up a magic shop and started using her powers to protect the city from danger.

As a tiefling sorceress, Luxe had faced discrimination and persecution her entire life, but she refused to let that hold her back. Instead, she used her powers to show the world what she was capable of, and she became known as one of the most powerful sorceresses in Waterdeep.

Proud to present the first Passion Arcade track of 2025!
A melancholic ballad with lovely emotional vocals by Annie <3 
We hope you'll enjoy it :)

Passion Arcade - Fire In My Heart

Proud to present my track Serenity off the latest Legacy of Thought release Interstellar Engines.  This album features tracks by several very talented artists, all portraying their favorite spaceship(s) from movies and/or TV shows.

Serenity is based on the spaceship with the same name from the sci fi show Firefly, and since the music in that show has some cowboy/western elements to it, I though I'd feature an acoustic guitar sound next to the obvious electronic elements, to get a bit closer to that cowboy/western feel. I hope it worked!  Enjoy!

Atlantis

In My Heart And Mind

Hypersensitive

A short emotional piece.... dreamlike
no bpm or quantizing.. just playing

Frequencies

Messing around with Una Corda and some tape effects to get this worn down piano/recording feel. 

Honestly this track just deserves your like because I managed to play live for almost 5 minutes without any major mistake

In Retrospect

This is the last one of a series of tracks that I did some time ago.

The Waves Whisper Your Name

Confidence

Haven

Very proud of this new collab track featuring the signature harmony vocals of the lovely Annie Smart. It only took us a few days to complete this one but we're both very happy with the result. I hope you will be too. Enjoy :)

Pay Annie a visit here: @annie-smart-1

There’s a place
You can remember me 
If memory serves you well
There’s a place
You’ll remember me
If your memory serves you well

And it’s called
Memory lane
I will wave to you
Take a walk down Memory lane
You can look
But you can’t touch me

Cobble stones
And the brightest lights
They keep me awake
In the middle of the night

Chorus

Annie Smart & Wane of Summer - Memory Lane

Mostly I make ambient/melancholic electronic music. Or I play the piano.
