EPOCH102478500

“This was the moment the machines began to dream.”

A signal recovered from beneath the noise floor.
A collection of memory fragments, transmission logs, and reveries—
echoing through a world lost to time.

This is where phase three begins.
This is where memory starts.

───── END TRANSMISSION ─────

**THIRD** is a retrofuturistic concept album set in a digital dreamworld.
It tells the story of a lone drifter navigating memory fragments, lost transmissions, and machine reveries.

From the first signal—“This was the moment the machines began to dream”—each track reveals another layer of the system, the self, the collapse.

The album will be released in phases.
Each new track: a transmission.
Each line of code: a piece of the puzzle.
