About This Album
The Soft Geometry of Dreams is a seven-track psychedelic-rock sequence presented with a late-1960s analog sound. Its uninterrupted flow is designed for calm, focus and reflection.
The sound combines tremolo electric guitar, Mellotron, sitar textures, analog bass, brushed drums, tape delay and phasing. Each passage flows into the next without abrupt changes.
Rather than behaving like seven separate songs, the album is designed as one uninterrupted environment. The room breathing, light moving without a visible origin and a voice remaining just beyond reach recur as the music flows from one passage into the next.
Reversed guitar swells, clean tremolo, Mellotron, sitar-like textures, warm analog bass, brushed drums, tape delay and phasing create a deliberately gentle psychedelic sound. Changes arrive gradually, with repetition and slow shifts replacing sharp transitions or conventional hooks.
The extended instrumental centre lets the record drift furthest from words before the closing movements return to the images of a half-recognised self and a familiar room. The ending does not wake abruptly from the dream; it settles back into the same space from which the album began.

Complete Album Lyrics
The album's lyrics form one continuous text rather than seven separate track-by-track blocks.
The room is breathing before it speaks A quiet shape behind the weeks Nothing moves yet everything grows In the space where silence flows The room is breathing, soft and low A quiet rhythm I don’t quite know Curtains move but there’s no air Something waking everywhere Light leans softly on the wall Shadows stretch but never fall Every second drifting wide Like the world is turning inside There’s a voice I almost hear Somewhere close but never clear Calling gently through the haze Lost between the lines of days Nothing sharp and nothing fast Just a moment meant to last The room is breathing, I can feel Something slowly turning real Light is moving on its own Tracing paths I’ve never known Sliding slowly across the floor Then returning once more Nothing follows, nothing leads Just a drift of silent needs Every shape begins to sway Then dissolves and fades away I reach out but there is space Soft distortion, no clear place Everything begins to bend Without beginning, without end The room is breathing somewhere near I can feel it, I can hear Light is moving, slow and true Like it never needed you There’s a voice that says my name But it never sounds the same Every time it drifts away Like it doesn’t want to stay I follow but the space grows wide Like it’s pulling from inside Every step becomes unclear Still it feels so very near The room is breathing, slow and deep Like a promise it can’t keep Light is folding into sound Nothing lost and nothing found I don’t know if I should stay Or just slowly drift away There’s a voice I almost claim Somewhere just beyond my name Walls are folding into sky I don’t ask the reason why Every line begins to blur Like a soft remembering stir Ceilings drift and floors expand Nothing stays the way it planned Light is breathing through the seams Building quiet, endless dreams I can feel the motion slow Like a place I used to know Somewhere far but somehow near Soft enough to disappear Nothing breaks and nothing cries Only folding quiet skies The room is breathing far away Still it hasn’t gone astray There’s a shape I almost see Something close to what was me But it shifts before it stays Lost between a thousand ways Every thought becomes a wave Something given, something gave Nothing held and nothing kept Only echoes softly slept The room is breathing, fading light Somewhere drifting out of sight There’s a voice I used to know Now it’s somewhere I can’t go Still I follow, still I stay Even as it slips away There’s a shape I almost knew Something close to being true I am moving but I’m still Like I’ve stepped outside my will Every sound begins to slow To a place I used to know The room is breathing once again Familiar like a distant friend Light is softer than before Resting gently at the door There’s a voice but now it fades Drifting through familiar shades Not as far and not as wide Something settling deep inside I return but not the same Still connected to the frame Of a place I didn’t see But it somehow stayed with me Nothing ends and nothing starts Only quiet, drifting parts I am here but something’s weaving Still returning without leaving
