Contrast by Design

The start of a new album for this year.
New sounds, new melodies and new ambience is waiting for you, fellow listeners.

Track 1 is the intro, "Fading Red". We dive into the waves of a new sound. Let us find out, what awaits us with the tracks that follow after this one.

Fading Red

After a short time comes the next track of my new project "Contrast by Design".
A minimalistic, gloomy piece that takes you to a place deep down in the ocean of sounds.

In different light

Given that we have different sounds to start with, we have a hand full of these for the input and get a dark piece of music for the output. Enjoy the result as we sink into the eternal depths.

Parameters

Here I am again with a new track for your ears.
Discover glitched beats and an interesting soundscape with "Protocoll". The darkness surrounds us, but we still have a clear sight and see, what "the code" is trying to tell us. Read the protocoll and embrace the secrets hidden in the depths.

Protocol

Reach through the darkness to embrace the light of hope.
You drift away from what you believed was true.
But even still, there is something you try to find.
Something to hold on to.

A gloomy, yet hopeful piece of music for you.

Enjoy listening.

Phasing through

Starting this year with a fresh track for "Contrast by Design".
This is an interlude track that leads to the next bigger one coming soon.

"Are you sleeping, or are you dreaming? A nightmare? Or some weird trick of your own mind? You will never find out until you finally open your eyes. Remember: It's all in your head!"

As always: Enjoy listening and stay tuned for more!

Lost in subliminal thoughts

We are almost at the end of this project...
Now for the penultimate track "Rewire my heart" you revisit a small portion of "Lost in subliminal thoughts" that connects with this track and gives it a proper finish.

As always with a darker tone in mind, I created this track to complement the overall mood of the album and add yet another specialty to it with morphed voice snippets in it.

Rewire my heart

The final track "Disconnected" gives this project a finishing touch
and lets you stay with a feeling of emptiness. Maybe even some sort
of a "cliffhanger moment". Emerge with nothing but yourself...
Disconnected from your inner and outer self, the world around you, the people that cared.

Lyrics:

Disconnected, yet again
I lost my traction,
I lost control
Disconnected, from my protocol
A feeling of unease

Reconnect...

Loss of data
Loss of mind
We slip away
We're losing touch
Yet again, we're lost
Disconnected

Loss of data
Loss of mind
We slip away
We're losing touch
Yet again, we're lost
Disconnected

Disconnected
Losing traction
Lose control
Ahhhhh

Lose connection
Lose control
We're losing touch
We slip away
Yet again, we're lost
Disconnected
Ahhhh

Disconnected
We're losing touch
We slip away
We're losing touch
Loss of Data
Loss of mind
We're disconnected
Ahhhh

Disconnected

Project "Yqarus" consists of an overall dark sound guided by beats, leads and synths of all types that take you to unknown worlds. Descend into the ocean of forbidden dreams and catch every sound you hear. Enjoy this trip.
