About Forgotten Worlds
Shortly after moving from my hometown of Chicago, I began a literary project called Forgotten Worlds- a dystopian, tech-noir thriller inspired by my favorite books and films.
With additional influence from great music epics like Rush's 2112 and Prince Paul's A Prince Among Thieves, my original manuscript planted seeds that grew into a musical project.
Fitting somewhere between a film score and a beat tape, the Forgotten Worlds original soundtrack is a collection of "scenes" which supplement the written material.
Chapter 2: Ten Years After
The last surviving inhabitant of a decimated civilization narrowly escapes his dying world in pursuit of the one responsible for its destruction... Will he arrive in time to prevent another catastrophe?
To be continued...

Ten Years After (OST)
Track listing and synopses:
001 - “Final Moments (Pulse)”
We discover our battered protagonist awakening to find that his existence- and that of his world, are mere moments away from complete annihilation.
Suddenly imbued with strange new abilities from a forbidden device, he is able to resist his remaining attackers and make a final push towards a strange gateway that radiates with phosphorescent energy.
002 - “New Machine”
Enveloped in a sphere of white noise, the lone survivor surveys the devastated landscape from high above. He takes a final look at all that will cease to be before hurtling off into the blackened sky.
Now traveling with unfathomable velocity, the same arcane device that had helped him escape certain doom now seemed to be refusing his every command- glitching, sputtering... had it become... sentient?!
003 - “Discovery”
Weeks have passed since initial contact with this strange new place.
Following days of searching to no avail, a significant finding at last provides some answers.
But was this an omen of the future, or a secret from the past?
004 - “Xenon Dawn”
Perched near the edge of a craggy, concrete cliff, some final adjustments were made to the instruments. All that was left to do was wait.
...Eventually, the call was answered. The experiment was a success. Finally- this development could prove advantageous.
Our reluctant hero rests for a brief moment to reflect on all that set this chain of events in motion...
