Before the firmament breathed life into legend, man was alone, watching the skies. After the heavens returned man’s gaze, all were fearful, fleeing that which was long sought. Revelation, destruction, and rebirth – a cycle exposed in noble fashion, with light coloring the air in crimson-red hues. It was an unheard of omen bearing unknown consequences. As kingdoms rose, empires fell, and the gods were blamed. Such became normal on Atmos, where the line between reality and dreams had long been blurred.

This is the story of Atmos’s northern continent, just before a period of hardship. An unusual time of peace was preserved despite a bloody history, yet hidden forces rebel against it, vying for power during a critical time of change. As one boy would come to understand, few would be safe from what was to come.

In a new world, the center of mankind's greatest civilization holds an indispensable gift known as the Dream Engine. This machine holds the records of old in the form of visions that can be shared directly with anyone. All chronicled events can be viewed by anyone who wishes it, but a problem has occurred. The Dream Engine now forces these visions onto people, inserting fragments of antiquity into the dreams of many. Every bestowed experience then disappears from record as if it never existed. Panic ensues, as the valued history of man slips through the fingers of every dreamer in the vicinity. All are encouraged to document and submit what they witness, but the accounts are messy, and an even greater issue has emerged. Within the Dream Engine, there is evidence of sabotage.

Concept Album Near Completion

Arthur Hill

I've gradually been making tracks for a dystopian sci-fi album since last year, and decided to finally finish what I started. The album, titled "TOWERS", is about the creeping takeover of AI and robotics in the future, adapting a cyberpunk theme to the modern world.

The first half of the album is, in general, about the issues that could plague such a society, as well as the opinions and experiences of those living in such times. The second half is where things snap, and the AI takeover begins in full force across the world. Artificial minds take over various industries and systems that run the cities of the world, utilizing these resources to mass produce both armies and infrastructure. Various influences include The Matrix, Terminator, Blade Runner, and the Cyberpunk 2077 video game (a favorite of mine).

The final track was completed last week, leaving me in the mastering phase. I'm mostly done adding a page to the website to cover the release. The artwork is done. I still need to work on the lyric booklet I plan to release with the album. The final steps may take me another two weeks, but the result will be truly epic.
