Arcane Ascendancy is an auditory journey back in time, an experiment in storytelling where music supplants words, and a retro medium becomes the narrator. Envisioned as a soundtrack to an imaginary 1980s sword-and-sorcery TV show, the album leverages the distinctive sound quality of cassette tapes, known for their characteristic warmth and warble. Each track is a chapter, an instrumental narrative that conjures images of valiant heroes, dark sorcery, and mystical quests.

The essence of the album lies in its attempt to evoke powerful imagery through sound alone. You’re invited to construct your own visual narrative, guided by the synth melodies and the atmospheric soundscapes that harken back to an era where fantasy was delivered through the glow of a CRT television set and the art of practical effects. "Arcane Ascendancy" is a portal to a bygone era of entertainment, a love letter to the aesthetic of a cheesy, low-budget television show that could have once glowed brightly on an American or European TV set, and then lost to time forever.
