LORN - THE MAZE TO NOWHERE [Full EP]

[@RNJL1]

Best driving album ever. When you're waiting at a light while this shakes your entire car, and you have people in the car next to you trying to shazam this before the light turns green, you know you're a saviour for all mankind, sharing the gospel.

[@crappycomputer77t1]

Same. It's Perfect for when you are trying not to die driving in the middle of a blizzard.

[@inventor4279]

please put this on full blast with your windows down and at stop lights just look foward with a poker face, i bet people would be puzzled at such a sight

[@ahobimo732]

So dark and vast, yet intimately seductive. I've been listening to Lorn for a while now, and I still find his music as jarring and exciting as I did the first time I heard it.

[@TaylorBrookspro]

me too. ive had his songs on loop and I always feel like im listening to them for the first time. sometimes after a while of not hearing a song thee song hits harder. i love lorn so much.

[@alliewilson7036]

I love Love Acid Rain so much I’m learning it on piano. Totally worth it.

No but Clint Mansell is, and Lorn worked with him on the Black Swan OST

too late, but Lorn for Bladerunner 2049.

[@dr.justintime1848]

how would u know?

[@BlackwolfWendigo]

I SECOND THIS

[@s1xiv93]

I feel like Lorn somehow invented a machine that allows ghosts and other supernatural entities to approach and pass through it. The machine assess their overall vibe, their intentions and mood and the beings can even whisper or speak into the machine. The machine then processes all of this and then it pours out on the other side, our side, as this amazing auditory phenomenon that allows you to barely feel what they feel, for part of you to go where they are or where they've been. I know this is all very hippy dippy and such but I really can't understand how their music makes me see and feel what it does.

You are hearing the sounds from the Void. It makes you feel the way you feel because you know where this sound came from. Their brain pattern transcribed into sound and it's making your understand what happened when this was composed.

[@simonfrederiksen104]

No machine - it's all organic. The "ghosts and other supernatural entities...approach and pass through" him. It's as simple as that.

so fucking good ... SO FUCKING GOOOOOD

[@adreamerofsorts6290]

Lorn's music is so oddly beautiful. The Tones and bass, the snares and brass. It's like listening to the heartbeat of a monster that lives deep within a volcano. Like listening the the darkest parts of the ocean, and the deepest corners of space. This sounds like something forgotten, A Dragon with no Place.

[@meatball3607]

stfu your words are lazy

[@brxan3096]

Bro, everytime I listen to this I get chills listening to that opening 1 minute 10 seconds. Some epic stuff right there. Lorn is highly underrated for such a creative mind.

[@jimmcmorrow1092]

This is a document of pain real and imagined. Lorn has an ability much like the artist burial to transport you to an endless journey you endure as a passenger in a darkened twilight on a rainy night as you peer listlessly through a rain soaked blurred window searching for an end and a way out of your small confide area of gloom and dread.

[@trojan6530]

Jim Mcmorrow So freaky as I was reading your post.... I also was feeling it

[@TheShiningKoW210]

His latest Drown the Traitor Inside feels like this as well.

[@mat4448]

I always come back to this EP when i need to rinse my brain

[@abaranihei2608]

Hands down the darkest beats out there

[@joshlockie9285]

The energy and the offset of that sound that sounds like someone hammering tin with a ton of reverb on Upside Down Cops makes my brain melt in the best way.

[@James-he7bu]

In a world robbed of compassion, despair is one of the few valid art forms.

[@Auerc0re]

i get now why everyone loves this... reading the comments shows me thst the music is exactly what you need in that moment ... 1 guy talks about moving on the otherone about holding on ... for me its just a way to get out of my bedroom and start falling asleep while feeling a mild transluscent high generated by my brain being close to falling asleep

[@machinesmakingmusic4381]

My man lorn has that heaviest of heavy sound to his bass and drums, nothing like it.

[@fitzdiebohne9886]

Without Lorn there ist no base.

[@MrManuel1329]

I first discovered these EP's when GoPro posted a half hour long documentary about the Nissan Le man race car and when I heard the music combined with the shots I was just amazed!!! And now I freaking love LORN's work!

[@SuperVendetta9]

Dudes, the whole track is about rebuilding from chaos and disaster. Moving forward. Taking note. Forgeing. Not repeating the mistake. Lesson learned. Plough through. Hold head up high. You got this... You got this...

[@serpentbourn138]

I mean no disrespect when I say your interpretation vacillates between beautifully hopeful and hopelessly naive. For our whole lives our consciousness tries to find and assign meaning to this existence through symbols.and creation, only to discover that eternity always wins, and we are all nothing. Our little games are meaningless in the face of timelessness. But we will keep trying to find our way, because it's all we have.

[@SeanGatchell]

A very true interpretation. How I can say this with certainty is my secret.

[@serpentbourn138]

Rebuilding now!

[@sebastianshuster5229]

“We are nothing” is the same as saying “we are everything” I get what you mean though, oscillating between the one and the other is -us- On one hand, in a million years no one will even know we were here on this planet. On the other hand we are here NOW in this very beautiful moment, that could not be repeated in exactly the same way even if we tried to (in an infinite multiverse each with infinite timelines), listening to an artist that makes us question existence and interpret it in different ways. That’s some powerful music! And you mentioned games, yes! Lorn plays an exquisite game of “making music”. While we play the game of “what does it mean?” (In between “the work game” and “the family game” and all the other games we play under the umbrella of “the human game” under which the universe plays us - if anyone doesn’t understand go listen to Alan Watts - The Joker and get your mind blown 🤯) Got Damn Lorn! Ripping a huge hole in my existential beliefs!

[@gmensah2008]

I cannot put words to how beautiful this musical landscape is but I'll try anyway, and maybe that's the point, to go beyond the words, right at which moves and motivates from within, an attack on emotions, off which the surrender is somewhere alongside the blissful planes of pleasures only music knows how to deliver. This maze to nowhere is a trick, the maze is real, how every notes keep one hostage is the trick. Well done Lorn. I am simply put inexplicably amazed beyond what words can express.

[@forgettable8300]

As the kids say these beats are fire

[@avedic]

I think I've figured out the notes in There Is Still Time. It's got such a haunting progression....something about it is just insanely beautiful. Almost has a shoegaze quality to it. So.... the higher drone that plays throughout is basically just Ab.....which briefly slides down to a G....before going back to the main Ab drone throughout. Under that....the bass tones appear to be(I could be wrong, but it sounds good!): F - Bb - Db - Eb. That's it. Simple. But so so good.

[@dr.justintime1848]

[@MisterKaen]

Plainly spoke, Lorn is way ahead of this time. The esoterism displayed in the videos is so accurate its scary. But if you do not know your esoterism you would never pick it up.

you'd have to contact lorn about using his music in a video game, but i'm pretty sure that using it for a video or whatnot would be totally fine bc of fair use law. of course i'm not a lawyer, so if your own research contradicts that last point then take that over mine.

[@cheesebagel100]

Anyone know of any other musicians with curious sounds? Pretty lights and Gramatik are my other two current listens and I wouldnt mind some more variety.

[@flawfulflavor5991]

+Potato Salmon you might really enjoy Eskmo. His new album is made out of many field recordings and if you have time and some really good headphones, listen especially to the tracks SpVce, combustion, the sun is a drum and can't breathe. I've been listening to all of Lorn's songs for a while now and I recommend checking out his other stuff like Ask The Dust and Grief Machine. If you want to hear something that has a more dancy, but still incredible sound, check out ZES' Hindsight EP, the tracks on there like Grimm, Bliss and especially Final Decay will blow your mind. I also recommend DIVERSA's soundcloud. Lots of experimental and beautiful sounds ranging from jazzy chill beats to experimental dubstep. If you really like electronic, check out The M Machine's metropolis eps (part 1 and 2, there are 2 ep and the 3rd "Just Like EP" is not part of metropolis series and is not really impressive).

[@cheesebagel100]

+FlawfulFlavor I bought a nice set of sennheisers recently so headphones are up to scratch and I'll definitly be checking all of these out, I've gotten into geovybe lately too he does some interesting remix's and is still quite obscure so I like to promote people like that, his shapes and pieces album is very good and there are lots of excellent remixs on his soundcloud.
