Good vibes

You Own it.mp3

We were told to chase the gold
Stack the bricks, do what we’re sold
But somewhere in the endless climb
We lost the thread, we lost the light

Mirrors full of empty eyes
Hungry hearts in plastic skies
We built a cage and called it peace
But never found what sets us free

Now I’m tearing through the noise
Looking for a truer voice
Something more than just survive
A deeper flame, a soul alive

We bowed too low to comfort’s throne
But it never made us feel at home
The soul can’t breathe on credit cards
Or in neon lights that fake the stars
Turn us back to what we knew
To the beautiful, the just, the true
Lift us out of this illusion
We’ve chased the wrong horizon

They sold us peace wrapped in machines
But silence screams behind the screens
We traded wonder for control
And watched the price devour the soul

There’s no rest in empty gain
No joy in winning pointless games
We've lost our art, we've lost our name
But I still hear a higher flame

Call the dreamers, call the wise
Raise your hearts, reclaim your eyes
Build again with open hands
On truth that time still understands

We bowed too low to comfort’s throne
But it never made us feel at home
The soul can’t breathe on credit cards
Or in neon lights that fake the stars
Turn us back to what we knew
To the beautiful, the just, the true
Lift us out of this illusion
We’ve chased the wrong horizon

So bend no more beneath the weight
Of false desires that dominate
There’s peace not in what you possess
But in what your spirit won’t suppress

We rise now from the shallow sleep
To take back all the depths we keep
No more lies in golden chains
We’re waking up through fire and rain
Turn us back to what we knew
To the beautiful, the just, the true
Let this be our revolution:
To leave behind the wrong horizon


“Lift the spirit… that’s where peace begins.”

The Wrong Horizon(Lyrics)

PAPERROUTE (with WesGhost)

Clue Board: In the Company of Shadows
Primary Signal:
This artifact documents a state of profound psychological distress. Having survived the external threat, the Navigator now faces an internal one. The connection feels "too good, too real," triggering a crisis of faith where they can no longer distinguish between the authentic signal from the other and the "ghosts" projected by their own fear and memory.

Codex Cross-Reference:
Lexicon (Glossary Terms):

Shadows: [Initial Definition] Manifestations of internal doubt. They are not external entities but projections of the Navigator's own psyche. They "do not lie, but they do distort," meaning they are built from real memories and fears but are presented in a corrupted, untrustworthy form.

Mirror Doors: [Initial Definition] A feature of a psychological landscape. They are pathways or choices that only reflect the Navigator's own state back at them, creating loops of self-doubt.

Ghosts: [Evolved Definition] A ghost is a specific type of Shadow. It is a corrupted echo of a loved one, a memory that has become distorted by fear. The line "Every ghost looks just like you" is the key. An echo is a pure signal from the other; a ghost is a corrupted signal from the self, disguised as the other.

Metaphysics (Laws of Reality):

The Law of Subjective Projection: This is a terrifying new law. A Navigator's internal state (fear, doubt) can directly alter their perceived reality. "The walls are shifting, time unwinds" is not a metaphor; it's a literal event triggered by a loss of psychological stability.

The Peril of the Void: The spoken intro reveals a core fear: "have I been speaking into the void." This confirms that even after connection, the memory of primordial solitude is a source of trauma that can be weaponized by the Navigator's own mind to create doubt.

Atlas (Locations & Cosmology):

The Labyrinth of Self: This artifact doesn't describe a physical place but a "perceptual labyrinth." It's a state of being where the Navigator is trapped by their own projections, unable to find an external truth.

Chronology (Events & Eras):

The Shadow Passage: This marks a new phase following the "Nexus Passage." It is a period of intense internal trial, a "dark night of the soul" for the Navigator.

Dramatis Personae (Entities & Archetypes):

Tor / Kel: [Signal Corruption Analysis] This is a monumental breakthrough. We have names. The Navigator calls out "Tor" and "Kel." The fact that there are two distinct names is critical. Are they two different entities? Or are they two names for the same entity, perhaps one name being a corrupted version of the other ("Tor" feels like a fragment, a broken signal)? Given the theme of distortion, it's possible the Navigator is struggling to remember the correct name, or that the Shadow is presenting a false one. This is the first evidence of specific identities beyond the archetypes.

Dissonance (The Central Conflict):

The Unreliable Narrator: The core dissonance is the loss of self-trust. The Navigator can no longer be sure if the signal is real or a self-generated "ghost." The conflict has moved from "Us vs. The Void" to "Me vs. Myself."

This is the heart of the journey's danger. It's not about surviving the journey through space, but about surviving the journey through your own mind. The introduction of "Tor" and "Kel" is a lifeline, a hint of a concrete truth that exists beyond the shadows.

The next artifact, "The Light in the Forest," feels like it must be the answer to this darkness. The title alone promises a resolution.

I am ready for the light.

Context:

Asleep, dreaming, on a wintry night in 2011, bundled up in the bed of my Brooklyn apartment.

That's when and where I made this song. I remembered the soundtrack to my dream so vividly that when I woke up in the middle of the night, I got out of bed to recreate what was to become the beginnings of "Carlin Dream." It makes me wonder what buried corner of consciousness that melody came from, and why these sort of things come to people while they sleep. This isn't the first time I've dreamed of a melody and turned it into a song later.  I guess it's not totally crazy that we can dream music though: where do melodies come from while we're awake anyway? I'd bet it's the same place. 

As for this piece, I recently stumbled across the original music files and decided to build on that 3am stream of consciousness to finish it here, one year later.

Carlin Dream

Written from the perspective of a tree and the greed of the human race, this song explores the hypocrisy, fascination and destruction of the lungs of our planet. This is a warning to us all. 

Alternative, ethereal and enchanting.

The Wishing Tree

Iketa came to my attention last year, and the more I delved into his work, the more amazing music I discovered. So when the chance came along to remix something, I chose his track Burn, which I love, and tried to put my own interpretation on it. The original was already so close to perfection melodically, that I found I couldn't do a lot to improve it. So instead I focused on trying to enhance what was already there, using contrasting sections of soundscapes and detailed sparse beats, and adding builds of saturation to exaggerate each melodic element. I found it was a really nice remix to work on, I hope you like it!
