Begin

The story of Fortified Universe is multi-dimensional, and challenging to communicate. Fortified Universe is more than a music project, to me… it is a multi-faceted labor of love.

To get into this, you’re going to need to “soften your focus” a little. Feel the energy and the rhythm of these words. Don’t let your 3rd dimensional mind insist that you parse every construct. Breathe.

Fortified Universe exists as the realization of a number of long running artistic, engineering, and energetic processes. From where I observe it, almost nothing about Fortified Universe looks like any other music, cinema, software, energetic, magickal, or art project. A lot of the differences are the result of a ruthless pursuit of originality in methods and energetic approaches, combined with a dedication to craft across a challenging number of disciplines, over a challenging number of years. These are the materials that make up the vehicle.

This work is my life. I am a servant. My Human heart would be made happy for this work to provide any light for your world.

…this is 2019. If you don’t already know, real Magick is possible now. Do the thing you want to do. This is me doing that thing.

The story of Nine Vectors of Entry spans multiple chapters of my life. One group of collaborators was involved in its inception. Another group of collaborators helped it to finally manifest. Large portions of the work were certainly channeled. Custom music composition software was developed, re-developed, and re-developed again to merge the organic and the synthetic in just exactly the way this work wanted. Years of woodshedding went into the instrumental performances. Creating the conditions for Nine Vectors of Entry to manifest has been a sustained multi-disciplinary effort for a very long time.

Fortified Universe wants to anchor a specific vibration, and Nine Vectors of Entry serves as a foundation portal, facilitating the arrival of the future… and hopefully, ultimately orienting us towards that vibration.

Nine Vectors of Entry is here so that additional works can stand on its shoulders. Fortified Universe will be revealed through the creative responses of those works. Nine Vectors of Entry is only the first chapter… it might only be the prologue. It’s a hopeful prayer decorating the blank page. Without it, we cannot tune to the targeted frequency. A beginning was necessary.

…this is a beginning.

This is the important part… there is a well of joy that exists in this record. You can access that joy now. If you can’t hear it, it may not be the joy for you. We love you for trying!

This is how we begin. Breathe.

This timeline wants to reveal how an entirely radical form of creativity can exist in our world. And because you’re reading this now, it means that those future works can also exist.

There is so, so much more to this story that has not been revealed. There are new mediums, interesting new energies and methods, and new collaborators that have not yet manifested. But this is a beautiful beginning.

From this point in time outward, the process becomes iterative, broken into multiple “epochs.” This can become an energetic conversation between our imaginations. Fortified Universe wants to show you a new way to imagine the bridge between The Source and grounded technologies. There are better, higher-fidelity techniques for developing the creative channel. Your energetic contributions are immensely helpful. Feel into the virtuous cycle.

Let those words wash over you. Breathe.

This is quite literally the work of my life. I believe that vectors of this energy can ultimately help you to view your own universe in a radically different way. A helpful way.

Collaborators Wanted

We’re not seeking an audience. We do not want for your passionless clicks, taps, and follows. We’re not trying to “extract value.” We’re seeking collaborators. We want your energies included in this vehicle. This work is designed to resonate with those who are biased towards expansion. There are a multitude of ways that our worlds can overlap. If you feel called in any way, do not hesitate to contact us.

If you’d like to watch us from a distance, and would like to continue to hear about developments as they occur, please join our mailing list. We will welcome your input in a future timeline, and will be honored to call you a part of our extended family.

Epilogue

tl;dr… Fortified Universe is a large-scale, multi-disciplinary creative project. Nine Vectors of Entry is an unusual record, created in a number of unusual ways. The people involved see the world differently than most people do. It is about energy, vibration, and the future. Please, do enjoy the music… but ultimately, this creative work exists as a key to unlocking a higher creative frequency. We’d love for you to join us.
