  • For Anna (Murder, She Called It)

    For Anna (Murder, She Called It)
    Nov 10 2024
    For Anna (previously titled Murder She Called It) is an immersive sound sculpture, born from a deeply personal journey through therapy. Inspired by a breakthrough session with my therapist, Anna, this piece explores what it means to confront oneself in the void, where guilt and forgiveness battle in silence. This soundscape captures the raw tension of self-reconciliation. Ethereal vocals, haunting drones, and fragmented textures echo the themes of violence, vulnerability, and the cold, honest work of inner survival. As each layer unfolds, it draws the listener closer to that critical moment of confrontation—the meeting with the self, in all its complexity. Dedicated to Anna, who guided me to face these emotions head-on, For Anna is an exploration of what it means to survive one’s inner turmoil and begin the process of self-forgiveness. Thank you for listening, and I invite you to reflect on your own journey within. DESC: “For Anna” is an immersive sound sculpture inspired by Monk’s therapy journey, particularly a breakthrough session with their therapist, Anna. It explores themes like self-reconciliation, guilt, forgiveness, and inner survival through ethereal vocals, haunting drones, and layered textures, capturing the essence of confronting one’s inner self.

  • Ascension

    Ascension
    Feb 20 2024
    Ascension invites you to explore the mysteries of transformation and the interplay of light and shadow. Perfect for fans of ambient, progressive, and transcendent soundscapes. TITLE: Ascension DESCR: A soundscape that embodies duality and transformation in the pursuit of wisdom. From above, an angelic choir sings to the eternal, while below, hissing snakes slither toward infinity. Twinkling bells gently guide the way along the dark radiant path of personal discovery. ALBUM: Dronescapes TRACK: 130 GENRE: Dronescape YEAR: 2024 PUB: Quasigentsia TAGS: ambient, drone, dreamscape, dronescape, 130, angels, snakes, divine, chill, relaxing, wisdom, growth, courage, binaural URL: Persistent MIRRORS: Archive Audio | Archive Video | SoundCloud | YouTube IMAGES: Frame Grabs | Source Images| Covers LICENSE: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International ISRC: QZZ7P2496588 Cover Art Description: This image features a strikingly minimalist design with a glowing, androgynous figure at the center, surrounded by concentric rings of textured light and shadow. The figure appears to be dissolving into or emerging from a radiant, otherworldly spiral of light, evoking themes of transformation, self-discovery, and transcendence. The background transitions from dark, moody blues and blacks to radiant whites and silvers, creating a stark contrast that draws attention to the ethereal figure. The composition is abstract, mysterious, and immersive, reminiscent of progressive metal or ambient visual aesthetics.
