👻 Joyless Music, Samples, Vidya!

Skyscrapers everywhere, glassy and tall. but all the windows are black, like solid black, can’t see inside any of them. i walked down the middle of the street—no cars, no people, not even any rubbish. like the whole place had been scrubbed clean. i saw a bike just standing up on its own. didn’t fall over. Can't push it over.

keep hearing a distant hum, like a generator but all the lights are off, nothing turns on, not even the traffic lights. The sky is bright. Blinding. not sunny. white sky. at some point i looked up and realized there were dozens of planes frozen in the sky. just stuck. no sound from them. like someone hit pause.

ive been walking for hours but the streets loop (or seem like they do), i dont know which one scares me more.

I can hear people singing hymns.

In a huge airport in the middle of a desert. Nothing for miles and miles. The airport is completely empty apart from one employee at the check-in desk. They creepily stand there all day. I don't see where they go at night. They tell me to wait for the next plane. I feel like I've been here for weeks. I sleep on the floor.

There are shops in here. All in prestine condition. Old block buster video shops, food halls, nothing looks like it has ever been touched.

Slowly I start to see more and more people. One by one, day by day. I start panicking that it's just going to go back to normal and that I'm never going to find out what happened here. What happened to me.

Woke up around 3:17 AM. Couldn’t move—totally paralyzed. Eyes open, body frozen. Felt like something was sitting on my chest, heavy and cold. Could hear breathing that wasn’t mine. The shadows looked darker than usual, like they were thicker.

Felt myself lift off of the bed and float out of the room, down the hallway and into the bathroom. It feels as if something is dragging me, that it wants me to see something in the bath. The bath is completely black but I'm trying not to look at it. I feel like something bad will happen if I do. Every time I get close to looking at the darkness the screaming in my head gets louder.

Tried to scream but my mouth wouldn’t work. Whole thing probably lasted a minute, but it felt like hours. When I finally moved, it stopped in an instant.

Currently working on my 6th coming album

Intended to be a kind of third and final entry in the Joyless trilogy,

of frenzied beats, haunting melodies, and warped textures that melt the line between beauty and madness.

Divided into three parts, the first chapter is now complete.
