The project delves into the Time-Space-Thought Theorem, utilizing Sonic Archetypes to explore the interconnectedness of human existence through music.

Theme 2: Nostalgia - The Mirror’s Longing
Theme 3: Poetry - Canvas of the Soul's Eye

Exploring ascension and enlightenment through sound

Light drips in slow gradients while darkness pulses with a heartbeat; intimate, vast. Shapes drift. The winds sing in tones ancient and obscure. Shadows detach from form. Everything familiar hums with wrongness. All that's alien feels like a forgotten dream. Nothing holds still. It devours.

Blending space drones, ambient textures, and industrial soundscapes, the compositions on Looks Highly Unlikely unfold like a cinematic hallucination: abstract, immersive, and haunting. Darkness is not absence here, it is presence, breathing in slow motion. Looks Highly Unlikely is an invitation to surrender, to drift, and to disappear.
