Theme 3: Poetry - Canvas of the Soul's Eye
Exploring ascension and enlightenment through sound

deep abstract dark ambient drones
| 01 | Cranial Resonances | 11:29 |
| 02 | Rust Memory | 14:52 |
Two dark drones, distorted with glitches and noise, form this EP.
It's a journey through the "Cranial Resonances" and the sounds of "Memory of Rust" that rendered in static and low-frequency hums.
For the full experience, headphones are highly recommended.

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.
