There's something profoundly different about music designed to disappear into the background. Not background music in the dismissive sense, but sound that becomes part of the air you breathe, the thoughts you think, the code you write at three in the morning when the world has gone quiet.

Sustained Collapse is my attempt at creating that kind of space. It's an album, sure, but really it's more like a room you can walk into whenever you need to think clearly, work deeply, or just exist without the constant pull of distraction. I made it to be played on repeat, start to finish, for as long as you need it.

No hooks to grab your attention, just layers of sound that settle around you and let your mind do what it needs to do.

I've always been fascinated by liminal spaces, those in-between moments and places where normal rules don't quite apply. The quiet hours before dawn. The space between sleep and waking. The flow state when you're so deep in work that hours pass like minutes. Sustained Collapse is designed for those moments.

This is the first volume in what I'm calling The Collapsed Series, exploring different aspects of time, space, and consciousness through sound. Each volume will be its own world, but they'll all share this core idea: music as architecture for thought rather than entertainment.

If you're into deep work, meditation, or just need something to help you find that quiet place inside your head, this one's for you. Put it on loop and let it do its thing.
