"DISSONANCE"; My new collection of sorts.

"DISSONANCE" is my new collection. I've always been interested in the Arts and, not to toot my own horn or anything, I've found that I'm rather talented in them.

For the past few years I've always done these arts separately. Music, writing, digital art. They've always been kept apart from each other.

For this project, I decided to clash all of these areas together (hence the name of the collection) in an effort to really flex my creative muscle.

So now that you have the background, what exactly is "DISSONANCE"? In the simplest wording possible, its a concept disc (meaning that it tells a story) that I'm putting out, but in a rather untraditional fashion. I've decided to immerse all of the senses by creating accompanying lyrics and images for each of the six songs on the disc. The images and lyrics are meant to be looked at while you listen to the song, so you can get a complete picture of the situation presented in the story. Here's the track list:

1. [WOMB]
2. pULSe
3. _subMERGE
4. MYOKOS
5. Baroque
6. ~DEITY~

I have the first two tracks totally completed and I'm going to share them with you now. So, without further adieu, I present to you the first two tracks! :)

1. [WOMB]

First, the song. You can download it here:

And finally the lyrics:

"A heart played like a drum by a pulse
Steady and driving
My eyes have yet to open
But using them, I'm still trying

An unexplainable sound
Draws me toward itself
I swim through the folds
As it fluctuates

Throbbing undulation
A light that shines through my closed eyelids
I'm coming to you, mother
I'm coming to life"

2. pULSe

You can download the song here:

And the lyrics:

"Tension
A steadily building rage
Horns cry out from overhead as I fall from the Heavens
Who would have thought this would be so soothing?

The horns resonate from high above
But their rage barely scathes me now
The darkness lurking below is calling
Making no effort to be subtle

The Gods are not so ready to let me go
They leave me with a message
Born straight from their brass horns
"Take this to your grave!" "

----------


3. _subMERGE

First, download the song here:

Then check out the image:

Last, the lyrics:

"Frigid and vast
The seascape expands beneath me
Creatures I've never seen
Beam light from their mouths to see

I hear birds from the surface above
Its what's below that I crave
A sonic, sweeping silence
My watery grave

Its calling out to me
With its melodious, echoed speech
And she's there before me
I'm swimming toward the creature of my dreams

Its eyes are smoothly glossed
Devoid of life and presence
Its limbs are thin and spindly
Ever wary of my hesitance

Everything has turned to static now
This beautiful figure is fading
I feel a pulling against me
Before I'm speeding back to the surface"

-----------

Its ambitious and probably a little crazy, I know, but I'm proud of what I've done so far. I'd love if you guys could give it a shot and let me know what you think. :)

_subMERGE definitely has that submerging feeling. It feels like I'm somewhere at sea.

[WOMB] kind of scares me. o_o

It does look "natural", though.
