I made a short run batch of vinyl records for the collectors out there. Digital download included. Comes with a cool metallic sticker! hexsystem.bandcamp.com/album/spiritual-paralysis

I went so far down the spiritual rabbit hole to find that there is so much bullshit and garbage out there all saying the same things yet nothing at all. Unplug from all the noise, there is power and clarity in silence. Believe in yourself, make the best decisions you can at that time, stay flexible, stay curious. We are not in control of everything, but you contain more power than you know. Do little things to start trusting yourself again, take care of your mind and body, and stay playful. We are the same thing, trying to create a new dream together to perpetuate this thing called life. May you be well, may you be love. Our day is here, do not fear it.

doomscrolling through the comment section while listening to, Top tier experience

Breathe in, breathe out, this is your life, you are in control. Do what makes you happy.

The uses of sorrow "Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift

Listening to hexsystem pieces while overlooking snowy farmland from a plane window is genuinely one of my favorite memories I have

I'm sorry, but I love this idea that mischief sometimes sits down to try his best to help someone. Sure, he's a force of chaos that literally needs to consume souls to survive, but his nature no longer defines him as a being. He consciously made the effort to become more than himself, even if by his nature he does it in the most destructive way possible. He's going to break things, people will change, move on, or pass away because of him, but in the end many find that through their interactions they have become more than they were, which can give them strength to grow, or heal wounds thought insurmountable. Often, though, he leaves in perceived failure, when in reality his profound success is only measured much later.

"I JUST WANTED TO DROP BY." _Stares silently at the broken window_ _Awkward silence ensues_ "THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT."

Dude this shit is important. you might not fully see it yet but this is poetic. in a sea of hopelessness and draining energy, you come out and you put this out here to give people hope. to give people something to inspire and spark some life in them again. if people would only just break away from the illusion of helplessness, pessimistic nihilism and meaninglessness.

Starting my 3rd week of sobriety after 3 years of relapses and misery. I was born in 1980 this brings me back to childhood and the awe and mystery of life. Addiction can box us into a prison chamber of falsehoods. I am reborn and I embrace the good, the bad, the ugly, and the worst parts of my life. I am only human and I am going to see the world through a new set of eyes and perspectives. It’s time to laugh at myself and all the crazy stories I have to tell and I look forward to an alcohol free future and the new journeys it will take me on. Thank you! Life is worth the pain because without the pain we wouldn’t rejoice in times of joy. Subscribed 🚀

That was absolutely beautiful. ...Now what? ...Mmh. Back to doomscrolling.

Imagine falling asleep to this album and having these songs in the background of your dreams, epic.

This not only stopped my endless scrolling, but it helped me to cry, something that I rarely do. I needed the reminder that I still have real emotions.

"Thats a nice picture you got there but you FUCKED UP MY WALL AND MY FLOOR!!"

lately i've been so anxious about the state of the world, it's good to know that i'm not the only one who feels this way

Everytime my co-workers barge into my room, they are greeted by mischief and they ask wtf is that. And I just reply with "he's a frog with beans in him". Love him

The amount of art inspiration this music gives me is insane. I’ve never heard music like it. Haunting yet beautiful, strange yet relaxing. I’m in love.

i edge my lymphatic system to this music.

Spiritual paralysis? This is exactly what I needed today.

Love the artwork along with the opening track. Feels comforting like having an old friend drop by.

This is magnificently beautiful, makes me feel melancholy with bright future but regret of how I have lived in the past. Overall its an upward trend but for the brightest of days there is still darkness. I chose to be here to learn this. Little did I know the difficulties these humans partake in on a daily basis. If you read this i wish you the best and no matter how difficult it is remember we chose it and one day we will return to which we were the now. There we will embrace. Good luck fellow humans.

In shadows cast by endless scroll, I found peace, my self-control. No longer bound by digital chains, I dropped the chase, released from strains. The void of screens no more my guide, I stepped away, no need to hide. In silence found a clearer sight, Embraced the day, embraced the light. No longer lost in endless gloom, I broke the spell of ceaseless doom. With courage bold, I took my stand, And found my peace upon the land. No more the slave to scrolling's call, I rise above, I stand so tall. In quiet moments, I am whole, Free from the grip of endless scroll.

Perfect for a 2AM drive down the highway

This album feels like when you are in the middle of your spiritual journey and you reach that point where you lose your self and someone comes to comforting and give you support and some advice, is that weird old friend that you never understood until you started this journey, such an oddly especific feeling that is just cheff kiss, i didn’t know you but is excellent work, I’ll check more of your channel, new subscriber for you

Nothing is more revolutionary and strong than interaction and all human beings together. It doesn't matter what the system or life's adversities impose on us. creativity sets us free

I'm an internet lurker and non user of social media, so I rarely comment; but here goes. I was excited to see a new release when I got home and put it on first thing. While listening to it play in the background, some indescribable quality of the music totally consumed my senses and paused my thoughts. I stopped my other activity completely; I almost completely lost my sense of place or time and became enveloped in what I was feeling. It was the track 'Spiritual Paralysis' of course. When it ended, I came to and listened to that track another two or three times more, before restarting the album to listen through properly. It is for these sorts of experiences that I have been a long time follower of your work, nearly since the beginning of Interface. Your artistic journey, your music, your philosophy; the ways they intertwine and dance together have always been both unique and mesmerizing. I have spent hours listening and wondering about these myriad art works you've shared with the world. If someday I feel I can share my own art with others, than I fully intend to accredit you as a key inspiration. Or even refer to you and your artwork as a spiritual mentor of sorts, assuming I could confirm you would be comfortable with that, and if that time ever comes. - Lastly, even if one day you no longer share your artwork or have otherwise moved beyond this part of your life... We are just strangers to one another, I know that fully, but this is my hope... Please, sincerely, from this carbon-based entity to you, please never cease to embody the wonderment and beauty you have shown to myself and others through your art.

I'm really hoping this one gets a vinyl release to sit alongside my copies of the Interface OSTs and Problems/Solutions. Loving it so far and I'm sure it'll grow on me even more like the rest of your music has!

This sounds like, a bitter sweet story, like when you have to make a decision and its not a pleasant one but it will set a bench mark, some may leave you for that decision and some may stay beside you. Its like finding out the truth of a matter, feeling better you know it, although its not what you wanted to hear. And you have the clarity and the drive but just have to sit in the moment and let it all sink in and process it and realise where you are right Now.

Considering how every single day has been getting worse this month I really needed something positive to happen. You posting new music was that only positive so far and I'm thankful, even if not intentional.

Your work has been an extremely fun trip through a strange land that I can't wait to see more of. Thank you for sharing your beautiful minds.

I got here by accident to hear what, in surprise, made me grateful to be able to ear. Thanks for Spiritual Paralysis.

this is where my soul was supposed to be and rest, and cry and laugh. this is an hug, a shake, a scream into the void in artistic form. thank you for being part of a world where art is still moving people.

It feels like my brain is floating on a cloud made of pure sound and music. I honestly don't know how to describe it. My brain is trying to predict what sounds are coming next and it can't...The silent resignation to just let whatever comes next come is...strangely relieving

As I was scrolling through endless vids I was TERRIFIED of clicking on this one so I continued to scroll…and then I scrolled to it again, deciding to click. This video is unlike anything I’ve ever seen, it’s disturbing yet… comforting! Unsettling and yet, warm. It almost feels like embracing death. I mean all this as a compliment. Thank you so much for your work, you’ve definitely earned a new subscriber here 💗😭

This is one of the best things i've heard in my life, honestly. It makes me nostalgic but fills me with energy, rage and hope. I don't know how to explain, but that vídeo saved my day. And as some of the other listeners said, it made me cry too. I'm emotional, but I'm strong and I'm free. Thank you for sharing such art with all of us.

*Never Underestimate Your True Potential.* As I find myself feeling brand new, I can’t help but appreciate the beauty in everything around me. This journey that I have embarked on, has become an experience worthy of one day sharing with the world. With my minds eye wide, I have seen.. And; I’ve come to understand ANOTHER side to the coin, hidden in wakings view. but when I return I can’t remember it… but that’s okay because I, myself know it. Every trip I take , The vail becomes thinner and more transparent. Revealing to me a whole new world beyond our own physical existence. This brings me great peace… But need I venture too far down the unknown. That’s where My compassion overflows, I connect inwardly so deeply with the sufferings of the world… How is it possible to see & feel your life flash before my own eyes? This phenomenon of a mystery is absolutely fascinating to me. Thank you for your music, which has inspired me to write. One Love.

Gooning to this!

The string arrangements you create always put me in a better place, Spiritual Paralysis is wild and beautiful in a way no other song I've ever heard is. It's really touching stuff, thank you for continuing to invest your care into this work. I hope you find relief from your own spiritual paralysis, and I hope you know that your work here is curing it for many others.

When businessmen and headless mind engineers are creeping deep into our collective conciousness, the artists - the mercenaries of love - will have to come to save us.. (hope alone is not the solution, friends)

I made a time for scrolling and reading the comments. What a beautiful synchronicity between you and the people who listens. I take wisdom, joy, and peace from all of that. Thanks ❤

sounds like an ost for a particularly good web based flash game

I was intrigued by the phrase "spiritual paralysis." I found a paper written by Francis De Sales from the late 16th century. I would recommend reading it.

I can't say i knew what to expect, but I'm glad i found it. Kudos to the strings ensemblé.

How have I not realized this has been out for a whole month wtf. Hauntingly beautiful, honestly this shit relaxed the fuck outta me 100 percent certified cozy tunes

I had a near-death experience with alcohol poisoning last night. Thank you for this semblance of meaning in the universe

Beautiful stuff, Umami. Tyvm for sharing.

I absolutely love your music. Thanks for providing these. I listen to your music while I work, and I'll definitely put this in my rotation. Amazing work as always.

Llevo un tiempo siguiendo su contenido y sin duda alguna es de lo mejorcito en KZfaq, gracias, Justin, por semejante álbum y todo el contenido

Yet another painfully beautiful creation! Thank you a million times over!

This music does something to my nervous system and I have no idea what it is. I would like this music to continue doing this.

Currently working out to this at 2:22 A.M. I believe to be evolvingly calmy, yet alert. Thank you

Thank you !

Mesmerizing, thought provoking, emotional. Strong work my friend.

Dig it. Been a viewer of this channel for a long while now. It’s been greatly appreciated. I’ve enjoyed watching/listening to your work and it’s been a constant source of inspirational uses. Stay strange! Cheers!

glad I listen to your music really calms my drives lol

I love this, lovely music as always Umami.

Beautiful and dreamy. Glad i found this!!

Your art is such a blessing to the world, I hope you know that. Never stop

Thanks for reminding me- i told myself the first thing I'd order in my new place was going to be a hexsystem beanie. Ordering tonight to celebrate the move and this stream. Keep up your outstanding work across all mediums

I love it dude, this is so cool. The universe you've created is such an awesome place to visit!

Thank you for this. I believe that music is the highest form of art, especially ambient and/or IDM tracks. Making something so angelic or calming that everything in life slows down to a pace in which the eyes can perceive is beautiful. You have accomplished this. With Mischief staring back hauntingly, and the soft calm music (especially the first track) creates for a life altering experience like no other. Thank you. ❤

u m a m i what you have done in these years is amazing, i cannot fully express of how grateful i am of your work, keep it up! ✨️

Wow. I just took a bit of time to figure out what The Coastline means to me, and it's one of the most beautiful little stories. "The sky's not always blue, is it?". This isn't a talk about science, but of the ebb and flow of life; The suffering against the joy. The context of the war behind it amplifies this meaning. He understands why these things happen logically, the chemicals in the brain, the politics of the world. But those scientific explanations do not make the sky seem any less blue. When you experience these things, they feel so out of your control; "God decided it so."

I like to listen to your music while I write my story. It really sets the mood for me, and you’ve been a big inspiration for me all these years. Been a fan since interface was in its early days. I’ve enjoyed your art, even during some of the lowest points in my life. I appreciate what you do here.

Amazing. & Love the artwork. 🎧

Songs to listen to while reading bad Applebees reviews

Tanto tiempo esperándolo 😢😍hermano gracias, valió la pena la espera, me acuerdo cuando la estabas creando en tu stream, 😊tu haces arte, te admiro, escucho tus canciones a toda hora :") estoy llorando al escuchar spiritual parálisis 🥲🥲🥲😍

beautiful! Great work!

Thanks Umami. You are exceptional.

I was probably about to keep doom scrolling late into the night even though I have to work in the morning but then I saw this. I was already planning on watching it at some point but then I saw it in my feed again at the perfect time. It’ll probably put me to sleep though so I’ll have to listen to the rest of it tomorrow but so far it sounds great and it’s exactly what I needed

I feel doomed, but I appreciate this music a lot. Thanks.

Probably the most beautiful thing I've ever listened to, I'm in awe.

Bought the vinyl as a birthday gift to myself, some really inspiring stuff you're making here!

[THE COASTLINE} her question snapped him out of his thoughts. catching him staring into the horizon. silent since who knows when. he had read about the U-boats coming in through the kapiti strait. but couldn't fathom it to be true, he wanted to see it for himself. the war machine brought to his village off the coast line. no longer could he ignore its call as it called out to him by name. tomorrow, (he'll) ill-depart. He dropped down placing his knee in a dry patch of grass he swept his daughters hair to the side and looked her in the eyes. "the skies not always blue, is it ?" seagull drifted behind him against the current, motionless. "look." he pointed towards the horizon. were the crest of the ocean and sky meet. a pale green haze, a pink mist dozens of kilometers away. "over there." she squinted, her gaze tracking his hand to the distant beyond. "light is made of every color." he scraped the ground with his palm, closing it with the turn of his wrist. then opened it to unleash a handful of sand to the breeze that carried it away. "The colors are filtered by the particles in the sky, But why is it blue ?" He heard the reason crashing against the shore, waves spilling onto the black rocks sweals of the white noise filled his ears. The seas scattered across the beach. dissipating before them. The scientific explanation, so rational and clear in his mind. Yet when he answered. He told her. "God decided it so"

Only now just stumbled on to your work, but I love it, definitely getting some vinyls. It's got an otherworldly experience not unlike radiohead when I listen to them. Class work mate.

I really like the sonoric evolution of this album, you have grown yourself U M A M I

Listening to this as I 'm scrolling endlessly through my feed! So grateful for this gift you gave me 🙏

This just took my bible studying to a whole other level. It also reminds me of the Nightmare on Elm Street soundtrack, only less suspenseful and more relaxing and ethereal, but would definitely still fit well in the films, in my opinion. Maybe that's just because those films are some of my favorites, and I loved listening to this track. Regardless, you did a phenomenal job, and i will definitely be back for more ♡♡♡

The scientific explanation, so rational and clear in his mind... Yet when he answered... He told her... God decided it so.

Thank you Justin.

This is nice, also the Hexsystem logo animation is looking really smooth

I've had Interface loaded up on a tab for almost a year at this point, wanting to watch it but never getting around to it bc uh, yeah. This popped up in my field while I was stoned off my ass, and the second song...yeah I really gotta get around to watching it now lmao, holy shit

again and again you succeed to make such wonderful unique soulful fucking one of a kind art. Words cant even begin to explain how thankful I am for everything you create. I'm so excited to see whats next !

You have a brilliant mind! It jams bro!

Do you use Spotify? Save this album to your library :) open.spotify.com/album/1U7yiLe7VV7ftKBtrmjFMr?si=qhFWxlLVTBep2LiwQRv12w

There's times in life where you'll feel on top of the world. Relationships, opportunities, and blessings fall directly in your lap. It's effortless. Pure flow state. And then there's times where you feel like the world is collapsing in on you from all sides. You're neck deep in self hate, guilt, sadness, anger, envy, you name it. Nothing wrong with either. That makes you human. But, it's important that you ride these states like waves, and not become too attached to either. At the end of the day, nature seeks higher order. Riding the waves of life with a smile, and actively taking steps in the direction you wish to go will never fail you.

Thank you for this. It’s really beautiful and somehow exactly what I needed right now.

I love the Rorschach painting the figure is holding. And the music is very soothing, thank you.

i lasted two minutes and seven seconds only because my arms were too heavy to hit pause. what do you mean that's just the length of the first track? why does it make me filled with gravity? i'm buying the album.

this is absolutely beautiful and i will be adding this to my playlists

Beautiful.

Thank you for providing us with music and this mental stimulus. Your the best 🎉

This has been my repeat album for over a week, it’s everything to me: calmness, overwhelm, courage, past memories… Thank you for such great feelings

This had me feeling so many different emotions and I definitely went on a deep dive in the comments but I’m glad I found this too. I’m allowing myself to feel this all the way through.

Good to see your music projects still going strong, been listening since around the time the interface tracks started releasing a handful of years ago, you've been one of my favorite artist ever since, music and art. Not to get too corny but your music's alway brought me a sense of peace and resolution, a feeling of being understood, through the years my anxiety and depression have been ever-present and overbearing but your music has given me a respite, from the bottom of my heart, thank you bro.

I enjoyed this. Thanks

absolutely love the coastline- incredibly engaging and atmospheric storytelling. hope this is a direction that is explored more in future projects ❤️ gorgeous music!!!

Just like everything else you put out, this was a masterpiece. Easy 9/10 for me. Excellent work.

Thank you for your music and your films. They resonate with me in weird, funny, dark, and stupid ways. Your content helps me CM and so I can't wait to see what you release next. A fan. -Ed

best night of sleep i've gotten in a long time. Love the EP, Thank you JT.
