Yes! I'm tired of playing on stage! I've had enough! Now only the studio. And this damn IA is ruining all the work of a musician and composer. I'm angry as a beast!!!!

BEAST.  ( Hissen Bax Concert in Dolbich  )

The ancient world is full of mysteries and incomprehensible stories. When you fall, drown in archival records in this ancient world, your brain slowly flows out of your ears and nostrils. Then only one question spins in your head, how was this possible? Then you begin to understand that it was another world, another civilization.

August 2025 Currently on residency in Italy !
These are the 2nd batch of 3 short sketches using field recordings captured around Montegiovi, Tuscany. With these little works I am experimenting freely with what can be produced from each days sounds - manipulating them and stitching them back together with the aim of producing a long format work at the end of the residency. I have done a dozen or so since arriving a fortnight ago but not sharing them all (some are pretty rubbish). The idea is to have them done by the end of the day (or night) then move on to something fresh the next day. 
I am truly thankful for this opportunity that has been provided for me by the Salamanca Arts Centre in Tasmania and Cultivate Projects/La Baldi residency in Italy and The USA.
And of course the wonderful people of Montegiovi !

N-Depressed Calling

Right now, vague anxieties in the world strike us like noise.
What is its root cause? Sadness? Anger? Or fear? No, that's not it.
Its true nature is the fear called "loneliness" that suddenly comes to anyone.
Even if filled with love, friendship, or family, loneliness somehow crosses the mind.
In this world, I am the only one. The only one who knows me is myself. The feeling of loneliness is very painful.
However, we face that loneliness sincerely.
That is precisely what allows us to truly notice others' loneliness, empathize with others' sadness, and become advocates who grasp others' feelings.
When we feel loneliness and based on that are able to erase the world's noise, we perceive everything as conscious.
But the world is so impermanent, and someday the end of life will come to you and me too.
What we leave behind then is not a big deal.
What exists there is a world of "nothingness." Yes, everything returns to nothing. The world and we all return to nothing. But the "nothingness" embraces the world—gently, strongly, bravely, and cheerfully, peacefully, and calmly..."

This track was created from my original draft of the words, which he translated into English and brought to life through narration.

A kaleidoscope sea,
waves folding into triangles and circles
as if the ocean had learned to play with blocks. 
Above, the sun unravels into bright shards, 
scattering like toys in the sky. 
It feels joyful, almost innocent. 
Yet every color carries a hush. 
Summer is only tidying up its games before slipping quietly away.

|| Ataraxia ||

[at-uh-rak-see-uh]
noun

Philosophy.
a state of freedom from emotional disturbance and anxiety, especially as an ongoing condition of soul-fulfilling attainment; unconditional tranquility.
I’m not looking to achieve ataraxia—I just want a week (life) away from the daily grind.
+
(Sometimes things are best when reimagined)
+
Freedom is a state of mind
Happiness is a concept
You can create the life you love
Take control
Slay those demons
Break the bonds (addictions / fears) that enslave you
+
Embrace creation
End (self) destruction
+
Empower yourself 
Seize the moment
The time is now

Our Unfair Advantage

Verse 1
We don’t play by the rules they hand us,
built our fire from sparks they abandoned.
Two misfits finding rhythm in the static,
what we’ve got is rare, unstoppable, magnetic.

Chorus
With you by my side, I’ve got an unfair advantage,
the world can’t touch us, no matter the damage.
They don’t know the secret, they don’t understand it —
love like ours is our unfair advantage.

Verse 2
When the weight of the world tries to break us,
we just laugh at the storm as it shakes us.
Every scar’s just proof we’re survivors,
together we rise, together we’re fighters.

Chorus
With you by my side, I’ve got an unfair advantage,
the world can’t touch us, no matter the damage.
They don’t know the secret, they don’t understand it —
love like ours is our unfair advantage.

Bridge
I talk too loud, you overthink,
we trip on our shadows, stand on the brink.
But broken pieces fit when they’re aligned,
two misfits in love with a dangerous design.

Chorus
With you by my side, I’ve got an unfair advantage,
the world can’t touch us, no matter the damage.
They don’t know the secret, they don’t understand it —
love like ours is our unfair advantage.

Outro
Yeah… love like ours is our unfair advantage.
Whispered truth the world will never manage.

Darkest Hour

Sideways

Hearing shots again
What can be done?
Sometimes it feels
like there is no room for reason.

In the days of punk
'79
Wine and dine, all seemed fine 
but times were changing

  Sideways down the slope
  Sliding into the rope

They pawned the truth out
and bartered the facts
These moodswings hit me sideways
no happy ending these days.

Cover my back, wipe the tracks
It seems wise, 
not to blow 
this disguise yet 

  Sideways down the slope 
  Sliding into the rope 

You cancel me
I cancel you
what we're gonna do now?
try to get out somehow

Fingers crossed
hope for the best
but prepare for the worst
in these present troubled times

  Scattershots matter not
  Sideways down the slope
  Sliding into the rope

Sideways

Surfers like Us ….. composition, all guitar parts, arrangement, mix and cover picture 

Hi Everyone!
The current situation in Europe and around the world means that songs like this are still needed! But our hope lives on, and I believe that light will overcome darkness! 🍀

Thanks a lot for listening and support!
Artur

Hope for Peace 🍀
