Sanctuary (live demo)
A raw, intimate, Live-to-Tape Piano Soul demo. The piano is played aggressively, with syncopated rhythms, complex jazz-gospel chords, and flashy runs. The recording captures room ambience and high dynamic range. The male vocals are a dynamic, multi-octave baritone with signature soulful grit and bluesy rasp. The performance uses complex, syncopated phrasing and unexpected syllabic accents; the delivery pushes phrases ahead of and pulls them behind the central beat, creating extreme tension and expressive urgency. Vocals range from a low, seductive growl to a piercing, powerful, melodic falsetto scream.

Lyrics
"Turn the gain up a little. Yeah. Just the keys and me."
They say the grid is down in Sector Four The Corp-Sec troops are knockin' at the neighbor's door The neon rain is hissin' like a snake outside But baby, in this room, we got a place to hide. I don't care about the creds or the debt I owe I just wanna watch the way the shadows make you glow.
Let the city burn, let the towers fall Let the systems crash, I don't care at all Cause when you look at me with those electric eyes... I forget the concrete... I forget the lies...
you are the fusion! you're the only code i run! you are the anchor! against the chaos of the sun! i'm just raw data! waiting for your overload! i'm just a sonic scream! kneelin' at your feet!
Ooooooh-yeah-eah-eah! (eah-eah!))
Come a little closer, let me trace the line Of a tattoo on your shoulder, such a rare design. We ain't got forever, yeah, the clock is fast We're built for burning out, we ain't built to last. So give me everything, before the silence comes... Before they trade our heartbeats for their steel drums.
They want my mind! They want my sweat! They want a future that we haven't written yet! But they can't have this! No, they can't have you! It's the only pure thing that I ever knew!
you are the fusion! you're the only code i run! you are the anchor! against the chaos of the sun! i'm just raw data! waiting for your overload! i'm just a sonic scream! kneelin' at your feet!
Just you... Just us... Let 'em burn it down.
"Cut it."
