Composer, lyrics and vocals by BlaininC; co-composed with Benjamin Hense; produced at Beat Tank Studios, Melbourne. A song about arrival - the wave, the sea, the sky coming down, and finally being where you belong. The newest page of the songbook, and the one playing across this site.

Follow the release →A commission built in Unreal Engine, with a brief to crisscross galaxies of life and after - water in all its possible states, moving through worlds. The visual companion to the Water World LP.
Watch and read →A single of four minutes and fifty-one seconds - the phoenix song, from the middle years of the songbook.
