Weather Control
Weather Control & Rule Of Two - Temple
updated
Timejump and Centrifuge are the newest tracks on this EP, having been started in March and April of 2024. The project file for this track was originally named “Too Late To Stop.” It has this feeling of inevitability, like time or distance is racing forward with no way to go back. This song came together fairly quickly and gave inspiration for this collection of tracks. I didn’t have a concrete narrative in mind when compiling this EP but they ended up fitting together nonetheless as I was looking for tracks that would compliment Timejump.
First release of 2025!

This is another track I am relieved is finally seeing the light of day and isn’t gathering dust on my hard drive anymore. This one was started all the way back in July 2020. The initial mix on it was so terrible I did not have the will to go through and get it right for the longest time. I did eventually return to the project in September of 2024. I think I finally achieved a good balance after a lot of overhauls of the synths, drums, and the overall mix and master. It’s not an overly complex track but there are a lot of elements competing with each other which made it challenging to finish. I picture a struggle to contain some kind of evil magic artifact or a clash between arcane forces when I think of this track (I guess the real struggle was the mix and actually finishing this). The magic / fantasy ideas are inspired a lot by artists like Svdden Death, blending arcane and electronic ideas together.

Alex (Canyoucook) and I started this track in October of 2020 . The main lead sound in the first drop is from one of his hardware synths, we basically spent an evening tweaking different parameters trying to get interesting sounds. (There’s about an hour of random sounds we recorded in total). The second drop just is a software synth recreation of some of the melody that was played but it fit in really well. We didn’t have any set goals for this track and it ended up not fitting in with our duo project “Heatstorm” so it found a home on this EP as a collab.
I need help convincing Alex to release more of his own music soundcloud.com/canyoucook

This ended up being different from my typical project last year. It’s been a while since I’ve made something this drum and bass / breakbeat / dubstep inspired, so it ended up being kind of challenging to work on. Of course it still has the cinematic edge that ends up in so many of my tracks, just with more electronic influences. To me this felt like a proper ending to the EP. It sounds like a resolution to a story, and if this EP had a fleshed out narrative, this would be the traveler’s return to his current time. The whirling pads in the track inspired the name, like a centrifuge was spinning again after being broken.

Without the past, the future has no context
Time did not stand still for observation. Looking forward was much the same as looking back. Any arbitrary point was their present and balance was found in both directions. Dangers arose from dwelling on either for too long.
/*---------------------------
This track was actually where I got the name “Epimetheus” from - that was what I called the project file originally. For me this song feels like looking at a reflection in a lake, thinking on the past.

Contradiction of solitude
For every forest in the countless great cylinders there are guardians who look after every stone, every tree, every river, every sky, and all the creatures that dwell within. Each one is designed carefully in accordance with the preservation of life initiative. Change is not prevented, but accounted for and death is only temporarily suspended against the inevitable flow of time. Caretakers may exist in solitude but their connections to their life means they breathe in concert with everything around them.
/*---------------------------
“Not Apart” is the first track that was completed last year (2023) and inspired the sound and a lot of the themes and ideas behind the album. For me I describe that sound as cinematic, lo-fi, electronic but there are probably (hopefully) better descriptions and genres that fit this style better.

More than what is broken
Mankind was molded from clay and forged in fire
Cracks appeared in the hearts of men, making them imperfect
But thanks to Prometheus and Epimetheus they were able to see the past, present, and future
Unlike their creators, mankind could choose each path and count themselves unique, for every imperfection was distinguished and celebrated
/*---------------------------
The song title is different from the actual lyrics, and I find it hard to describe why that feels right to me. There’s something about different interpretations of the abstract and hearing different words that appeals to me.
This track was made around the same time as “Not Apart” and I think I always had plans for them to be on the same release as each other.

At our closest approach
Omen of Ice(V), Omen of Sky(II), unbind
All seven make themselves known
We shed our disguise
At our closest approach
/*---------------------------
I think of this track as a sort of sequel or companion track to “Aphelion” (from “The Seven Omens” Album). “Aphelion” is about distance and isolation and “Perihelion” is the approach towards a destination, the anticipation and hopefulness.
Both tracks also share some sounds and samples between them.

To turn fate into function
Created what could have saved them
But can still help others
/*---------------------------
“Morse” actually has a long personal history for me. The main melody and sound I created about 9 years ago. It collected dust on a hard rive for many years, but I kept revisiting it and trying to re-use that sound and melody in other projects. So in a way this is a culmination of several years of different iterations and tinkering.

What doesn’t feel like forever
What’s done in truth, in earnest
Time that is spent with intent
/*---------------------------
“Actual Time” for the longest time was just a four bar loop, just the chords at the beginning with no drums, no melody, and no structure. I struggled with finishing my vision for this track, but ended up writing so many additional elements around it that those chords at the beginning and end almost feel secondary now.

The wind guides where glass does not
You’ve dwelt for too long on the reflections
Our eyes were made to watch the waves
And right our course
Let yourself be one with the oceans
Turn to the reflections only when needed
Not to sate curiosity
/*---------------------------
My first draft / idea for this track was to have it be much more dark and brooding. But the more I worked on it the more melodic it became, culminating at the end with an expansive piano melody. That’s always something that I enjoy about this process. When I don’t stick to my original intentions for songs, they sometimes still end up in really interesting places.

Sought
If you want to know the truth
/*---------------------------
This is another relatively old track, it’s from about 3ish(?) years ago when I was writing a LOT of orchestral / cinematic / soundtrack kind of music. I wrote so many different melodies and compositions but most of them either fell flat or weren’t really worth finishing. It’s definitely a sound a will revisit time to time in the future. Usually I don’t write music like this without some kind of electronic influence, it reminds me a little of when I did orchestral remakes and makes me a little nostalgic.

Remaining still
There were many times where I became disconnected from my decisions
Times where I couldn’t reconcile why things had happened
There were other times where I didn’t understand myself
Times where it felt like I returned to nothing
/*---------------------------
As soon as I was finished with this track I thought it would fit well as the end of an album. It has some kind of longing feeling for me, like holding on to the last moments of an adventure, at its very end.

I explored a lot of cinematic sounds in my previous (and first) album “The Seven Omens” and this album ended up being very similar in that aspect, but went in some different directions with the concepts behind them. Both have cinematic themes throughout but whereas “The Seven Omens” is more adventurous, “Epimetheus” is more introspective. A more internal journey rather than an external. Something a little more subdued and poignant.
Another through line for “Epimetheus” is that most of the tracks have two distinct sections. I wanted to explore writing more dynamic music, I think it better represents how I think of music as a story. Interesting stories have highs and lows and often involve a lot of change, and I think interesting music can work the same way.
I’m not sure what is next after this project. I’ve been in the mindset of wanting to work on larger projects but I also have smaller collections that are much closer to being finished. Either way, I will release more music this year, and in part or whole I want to try to encapsulate the ten year anniversary of the Weather Control project.

Project Start Date: May 9th 2021
Spectral Shift reminds me of some of my older tracks, like cyclogenesis, and deceived, but with warbly and watery sound design. This one sat on my computer collecting dust for quite some time. I posted it on my alt SoundCloud and eventually came back to it to write the bridge and second drop.

Project Start Date: May 5th 2023
Title track, the inspiration for putting together a collection of aggressive and noisy electronic tracks. As you’d expect I have a lot of tracks that for that criteria so there were about 10 other tracks that I considered for this project that did not make the cut. They will probably end up in future projects, right now I’m considering “sequels” to Digital Garbage and Metaphor Weapons. Have not made up my mind on if they will be straight up called “Metaphor Weapons 2” or will have completely different names.

Project Start Date: November 23rd 2020
The original name for the project was “Spectral Whirl” which I think is based off a plugin? Lithosphere was a last minute decision, the sound design reminds me of like shifting tectonic plates or something. The project itself was started back in 2020 but it was just a four bar loop for the longest time, it wasn’t until this year that I actually fleshed it out into a full track.

Title is pretty self explanatory lmao. “Not Distorted Enough” was another name I considered for the whole project but I thought digital garbage fit better. There’s not anything complex going on with the track itself, the distorted bass was a lot of fun to make - and I ended up using the same process for Digital Garbage.

Not only is this the oldest track on this project, it’s also the one that’s been “finished” the longest. I had artwork and everything wrapped up for it in October of 2020, I remember posting a preview of it on twitter too. I think it got a little lost in the other projects I was working on and I wasn’t super happy with it at the time. When I rediscovered it this year, I happened to be searching for other tracks to put on the digital garbage EP. I had to make a few small changes but listening to it now I actually do enjoy it and honestly am happy that even after three years it doesn’t feel like it has aged terribly.

I imagine future iterations of unrealized will be similar, groups of tracks that go in a direction that's outside of what I normally do, or just tracks that I want to release but don't know where to put.

Make the journey back, iterate again
I knew for a long time this would be the intro song to something, but it certainly took some time for this project to materialize. Out of all the tracks on this album this one probably had the corniest project name - "Mega Ambient." Not my best attempt at a name but slightlyyy better than "Kalimba Type Beat" or "Kinda Janky Synthwave." When I was streaming everyone in chat had much better song name ideas. Even as an intro track, this informed a lot about the sound of the album for me. I even used the melody as a reoccurring motif that can be heard in several other tracks in the album. For me, Return Guided essentially means to try again. Even though I wasn't able to finish this album for a long time, it doesn't mean I can't ever come back to old ideas.

After the return you notice both what has changed, and what remains intact
Aquila may have been one of the first tracks I worked on while streaming. The theme of thunder and lightning really influenced this one, I wanted the intro to sound like you had just pierced through a storm and were all of a sudden overlooking a familiar, but changed landscape. This song defines the album for me, there's plenty of electronic elements but it's all fused and interlaced with organic sounds and atmospheres. I love exploring that boundary between what we can identify as acoustic and electronic.

Witness the aftermath of the disintegration
This was one of those rare tracks that was 95% done in two hours, all while I was streaming. That experience was great, getting feedback from people while sculpting and arranging everything. The whole track is slowed down by 3 semitones, I remember playing with varispeed on stream and very quickly realizing how much better I liked it slowed down. Makes sense that slowed+reverb tracks are so popular. And shout out to Carolyn for the name "Erasmus", referencing the patron saint of sailors - even though I decided on a different name for the track, it very much inspired the ideas I had around it. The previous track was also named by them if I remember correctly.

Ages ago, when our ancestors were at their farthest point from home, they would be met by the cold embrace of the fifth omen
This was a track started on stream originally named "Solar Flare", 99% sure that was a suggestion when space was brought up. I'll still have to use that name for a different track, but I've had the idea to name a track "Aphelion" for a long time. That meaning has captured my attention for some reason, being far away from a star just lends itself well to metaphors. I had a version of this posted to my alt soundcloud "whether control" for a while, when I went back and listened that old version was way way worse haha. I need to post random works in progress on there more often, it's interesting to see how songs change.

Storm(I), omen of despair
This started off as a simple lo-fi beat, but I wanted to put it in a different context. I wanted to portray a journey - from the light and hopeful intro, through to the melancholy verse, and to an ending that was willing to begin again. Very similar place I wrote "Alternate Endings" from, but for me this is ultimately more about finding solace, whereas "Alternate Endings" is more about the feeling of dwelling on thoughts and feelings.

Reminiscing of home where the omen of night guarded the arks, in the place that feels most familiar: Haven.
If I'm not mistaken I believe I worked on this track on stream at some point. This track was influenced by the Hollow Knight soundtrack, particularly the songs that play in Greenpath and Queen's Garden. I think I talked about that on stream, or at least compared the similarities to this and the soundtrack. The art I originally pictured for this was a flooded forest under a full moon. I had iterations where I thought I got close but I kept envisioning a video game level or just a video of a forest at night. I think this one might be my favorite of the album, I'm really happy with how the main melody sounds and how the piano and harp blend together to create this flowing feeling.

There will always be outcomes beyond the horizon
"Unknowable" started its life as a "Be Not Afraid." This was another track I made on stream back on July 30th 2021, over two years ago at this point! I remember somehow the topic of biblically accurate angels got brought up and that ended up being the track name for a long time. It still fits the sound of the track for sure, I also remember searching my sample library for "angel" and pulling in a bunch of unrelated samples and using them to create an unsettling atmosphere that gave way to a cinematic section with choirs and horns. It isn't a weather control track if it doesn't have a choir in it lol, that's consistent throughout most of the genres I work on.

I've been focusing on finishing other songs and bringing other ideas back to life. I hope I am slowly shifting my mindset out of procrastination and perfectionism and I can share what I'm working on more often. There have been at least a couple of times over the years when I've released new music and told myself I'd be consistent, only to go right back to procrastinating. Lately I've been focusing on the work itself and putting in the effort to complete projects, rather than overthinking the release and reception - and I hope that makes a difference. Like I said in my last video, I'd rather have a discography than hundreds of unfinished clips.

1. metaphor weapons - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
metaphors are illuminating, helping to understand the abstract:
weapons in knowledge or ignorance
the travelers climbed to the continent's edge
and gazed upon the stars beneath them. what
metaphors, analogies, could only describe.
OMEN should have built their 'experiment' to
last longer . . . .
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The title track! Honestly this track has been done for a while I just wanted to release it as part of an EP. This was originally going to be a tearout track but I ended up taking it in a more melodic / futuristic direction. The project file name is just "Tearout" lol

2. flood loop - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
thoughts like rushing water, repeated, unrelenting.
suspended in orbit, water, dust, metal. what
should have been a fatal wound, somehow
sustained
almost every system is broken, flooding
again and again . . .
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I think flood loop is the only track I haven't previewed before. It almost started out as a Metaphor Weapons VIP, it uses a lot of recycled and unused sounds from that project. It also features a lot of vocals from Miss Lina! She was giving out custom vocal packs and I of course had to get in on that - youtube.com/c/MissLinaOfficial

3. artifact level - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
forgotten, scale, digital?
an artifact forged for unknown reasons
half-broken and abandoned. now made
aware to those few remaining
why was this structure left to die . . .
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Artifact Level was originally called reverb riddim, but it didn't have enough reverb to warrant the name. It has a little bit of the cyclogenesis sound which I've been incorporating more again.

4. one to blame - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
i'll be the one, you'll be the one
for now, blame was irrelevant. their stories were in danger of ending, and OMEN's secrets might slip away
it will be decades before I can return, but I must report back to my circle . . .
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
One to blame was made almost entirely on stream - originally named 'Liminal' - the rest of the work I did off stream, polishing it up and adding a bridge. I experimented with using my own vocals and tried to use them as a lead instrument.
Thanks for listening to the EP! Album is next.
