alec critten A wide-eyed and wonderful concept album about one person's journey into altered consciousness. This album marries meticulous and intricate songwriting with lush, cinematic textures, creating an immersive and heartfelt experience. Quite a ride, to say the least. Favorite track: Mayae.

Jeremy / HI54LOFI After graduating high school, me and a couple friends bypassed college to go to Australia. OM Collective kinda reminds me of our time spent in Byron Bay. Favorite track: Icaro Ayamura.

    CD's done died. And you can only fit 77 minutes of music on 'em anyways.

    This here is a badass custom-made Mr. Kite USB - with ALL 80 MINUTES of the album on it.

    After many hilarious failed attempts working with factory designers, I learnt 3D modelling myself literally specifically to create this object. And I have not used the software since.

    It took an absurd amount of effort and back-and-forths with production to bring this magical item into reality.
    It's quite embarrassing, but 'concept' - to - 'physical product in my hand' was an 18 month process.
    Do I regret it? Hell'naw, I really love these dudes.
    Could I have used my time as a human being on earth more efficiently? Mmmmyes, probably.

    Now it's up to you to make it worthwhile!
    Go ahead and get one before USBs done die too.

    ~

    The USB includes:
    -Ultra HQ versions of the songs. (So you can listen to the exact same full quality files that I heard the first time I heard it!)
    -MP3s
    -Lyric PDFs with hyperlinked explainer notes that take you on a learning journey through all the things I was putting in my mind for the 7 years that I was working on the recordings.
    -A secret folder with a secret message (The full $25AUD is worth it just for this).

    + An immediate download of the pre-release tracks,
    & a digital download of the album when it drops.

Less than a year ago today, Memories hazy. Cubes fell in, and filled up our eyes Slow gold - sweet now - bent smiles by Azure grace. Mr. Kite's Open Mind. P.S.I.L.O.C.I.N. (Mr. Kite's azure empire) P.S. I'm Eloah. See why I'll be that.. (Man of flight and man of fire) ..I Mr. Kite's open mind. Am. I. Mystic eyes open wide. Am. Mr. Kite's Open Mind. Unprepared, we wandered here, And repaired, we wondered. We don’t have much rehearsed. I don’t know where I am. Much less how I arrived, Or where it goes from here. But before we start the show, Such a man should come to be known: The one who brings to you this night. Tales of flames and tales of flight. One and all, without further adieu.. I'm the one and only Psilies Kite.

Luce de Dieu 05:22
How would you like a lotus in perfect bloom? They’re in season, you see, in my sleeve. Two volunteers and I’ll show you a trick To remove the mind from the body. Follow the smoke, and you won't find the way. Is the transient spirit, or bone? Come together on Diwali, Go on naming sticks and stones. Don't let Her know. Don't let Her know I know. Don't let Her know I miss Her. Now you’ve found the universe grows I, Fleeting season flows in slowing time. With the owl, and His gift of light, Leave those shiny things and the Great Dream behind. Don't let Her know. Don't let Her know I know. Don't let Her know I miss Her. (Could you belong to someone else? How could you detach yourself?) La la la la.

Mwenye kupenda ni mchawi. Have you noticed the hypnotist Has been pulling your strings Since you closed your eyes? He clicks His fingers. Awakened, it’s over. Inside, it hides; the truth, it lies. Two grand sandstone deities. Playtime tangles your hair. Searching for answers between five trees, Found too much to share, so.. Pablo Sings In Lines Of Code. In.. El.. Elope. Oceans in rewind reveal the doors The Kingdom once used to escape. Found Adam and Eve on the other side With a harvest of the snake's. Pablo Sings In Lines Of Code In Neverland. Adele.. A delta on your face & capsized eyes Lured by sirens and their lullabies. Pablo Sings In Lines Of Code. In.. Nakupenda.

Kuyayki, kuyaki. I blame the mentor, He’s the fool. The man goes by Luce de Dieu. He taught me so wrong, now a man 6 feet tall Is boxed in halves, three feet by two. But I confess, 'Ore mada heta'. I'll learn this over time. Handcuffs, locks and chains bind my hands. What a joke; I’m an escape artist, man! When the amateur plays, mistakes will be made. I won’t get in that fucking van. I confess, 'Ore mada heta'. I'll learn this over time. I confess, Tengo que fijar este treta. There's a reason you don't stare into the light. The amateur plays. And makes a mistake. See, you can't put your mind Around 'the Way' on take one. Time takes you to see That then you will be What you were was the light of the sun. I confess, 'Ore mada heta'. I'll learn this... over time. Oh, I confess, Tengo que fijar este treta. What happens when you soar too high? I'll learn this over time.

Huilen Tawa 03:46
Apologising for what has been, Won’t change the fact that it happened. It still happened. The cosmos divides by a psilocin sword, Infinity welcomes itself in. What have I known? If I had to put this into words.. “The blueprint's redesigned. The walls are gone.” The only way to understand an answer that's ineffable, Is to ask a question without words. I paint my face different colours each day, But never have I worn blue lungs, black legs, Upside-down eyes. The cosmos divides. Infinity arrives. The cosmos divides. Infinity arises. Such flowers have eyes flow into smiles. IN RIbirth, I'll get it right, Pack my bags for the other side. (How long?) Apologising for what has been, Won’t give me back my hair. No sorries. But thank you, please. (Intermission)

Mayae 05:55
The show goes on. At 5 o’clock Mayae appears, Quietly conjured, up from the floor. Oh, I've hungered for your.. Touch and go, and grow on your own. Such a bad idea. Layer by layer I take Her. Window sigh 30 hours later. (Her eight faces) ‘Oh, what went wrong? This can’t be right.’ We wonder how, knowing why. Mayae, She's lost. What's left to love? Oh my God, She lost The will to love love. And learnt how to flirt with thin air. Appears in the aisle; row 17, F. Audience can't understand, “It’s not possible!” Oh, but they found you. And we lost you. (You disappeared) Come out to play, the mirror shines. Thy fairest form, the light. Mienai. Grande finale at 5:20 sharp. It's late, No delay. Handcuffed, padlocked, boxed in a cage, In a coffin; concrete grave in the sky. (I can't love you) We have the sun, but She still hides. (“Get the fuck out of my life.”) Gomenasai. Oh, I let you go, So you let go, let go.

Psilies Kite 06:24
Welcome all, I’m Mr. Kite. How’ve you all enjoyed the night’s festivities? The death was an illusion, impossible contusions, Oh, but what a scene. For the man y’all saw divided In a box, now stands before us all. No mask, no disguise, just you and I. Celebrate life within death and a dream within Life, 4 hours straight, wide awake. You might not understand, but comprehending is Overrated, at any rate. And to you, my father assured, This festival's second to none. Oh, you'll see how everything shines With the light of the sun. With the light of the sun. Someone light the incense sticks. I perform my tricks in silence, quiet down. Concentrate. We'll levitate, so close your eyes. Let's consecrate the sacred sound. I bring to you these revelations, Delirium is guaranteed for all. And tonight, the collective tops the bill. La la la la la.

Speaking clearly, lips aren’t moving. Our minds run free and find each other When we use them, without thinking - Without listening to - “impossibility.” We cannot see enough to use The word properly. It must be redefined to Encompass only the descended state of mind. “Everything is the same thought.” Was I just thinking that? How could I not have been? To see the whole picture In the details. You are the dance.. Of Is and Isn't. You are. Heyana heyana ho honayo. Heyana heyowa ne neyowa. He ne yo wa. O weyo weyo. Can you see the strings between all things? Yhwh, Yhwh, O! Perfection, or puzzles reflecting? Oweyoweyo. Then, we see with perfect clarity. Yhwh, Yhwh, O! Then, we see with perfect clarity. And once you've come to know infinity, Could there be a trick you have not yet seen? 'Being' is an event and not a thing.

Torii Makasi 06:48
Now I'm 30 feet in the air. Gravity plays its tricks again. A new path is walked before time. To the grasslands - draw lines. I couldn't help but fall to my knees Keep you from the fall to the floor. Gravity tease me. Why won't my body Get up and walk? “Can. You. Feel. It. Too?” I said, “If I want to.” You said, “Will this pass by soon?” Journey follows my feet follow She Wonders, 'What is going on?' Audience tease me. Let me focus, please.. The fall is all your fault. Goodness and mercy please follow She Wonders, 'What have I known?' Universe tease me. Why won't She let me Give Her my love? When I forget that I can't, then I can. Forgot where I am that ayam this I am. Now. It. Takes. Me. One half's enough to cut you down. Silence fills the applause. Life in my eyes and the Collective smile, I wonder what broke my fall.

Fire Eater. Impossible, they bend in ways, Those legs go on. She plays, To memories of ballet. Pitch a tent, and get creative. Elastic dance. She takes it. Noise-making, back-to-front, With that smile on Her face. And fakes it. Let's make this place A temple. Where love outweighs All things – love in and out-ways. I'm sold on a delicate face, And curious. She breathes with flames. I wonder if She blows like a dream, since She’s a.. Fire eater. Light both ends. She is the flame. He is the flame. Above Mi plays too. Take this three ways. Oh, foreplay - two-thirds of the game. Reduce to ash. Regenerate. (All fire burns up. All fire burns away). “Can you feel it too?” I am Love.

Namaskar. There was no way To put Him back together again. Who could say, Could give away what happened here? Something about the boundaries changed. You've lost your face, but it’s ok. (To come, to go – the flow is the same.) Fall into wonderland, Follow Mr. Kite. Find the ocean in the sand, Flow with the tide. (What “glory” means, I know: In 'absense', we'll only find change. As summer fades, Autumn takes its place.) The lights are dimmed; a marquee dark. The final act about to start. Before the stage fills up with life, A few last words from Mr. Kite: “You are a wave in the ocean, An expression of the sea. You came from your self, You'll disappear back into me.” Something about perspective changed: To exist is to celebrate.

Who are you now? Who have you been?

(Sugarplum fairy) “I found my muse today, oh lord. My train of thought had set sail, my words misplaced, Lost in nowhere with my mind. Still used my face to laugh, and stumbled upon the other half In a million pieces – shattered glass. Although I only gathered nine or ten, All asatte's gifts just won’t compare. I’ve seen a face that belongs to life, and it was always smiling. I finally understand.” What happened yesterday?! Oh god. I guess we'd found we're one, and won the war. If only for four hours of the day. Was I meant to perform? Oh, it’s so fun to spectate. While you turn me on. I woke up. Wasn't in a bed though, More like the kind inside my head. Found sound and light dancing in a fountain, So I grabbed a cup, and poured myself a drink... Amrita: Riei. Point to your mind. I found where mine's been hiding. Can what's finding be found by itself? I'm still undecided. Word answers won’t work, so you’ll just have to post it. Headed for the coast, and I fell into a dream. I am because of you, oh my.. A man was sawn in half and lives to tell The fairytale of how He survived: “Four thousand stitches and a little bit of magic, If you can find your open mind.” Dissolve and be one.

about

What can I say? 7 years of my life; of my love and learnings went into this 80 minute trip. That was 1/4 of my time on earth at the time of release.

And from what I've seen, if someone's spending 1/4 of their lives on a single creation, it's usually because they believe in what they're making & the potential it has to affect people.. or, because they're batshit crazy.

In my case, it might be both of the above, but dammit, I believe the utterly devoted love I put into this album truly gives it the power to revolutionise minds and hearts from the inside out.
And yeah, I think that process will be best assisted with the careful and intentional engagement with a plant-altered state of consciousness.

I could rant for hours about it, so if you're into that, come catch a show (where I tend to do exactly that), or DM me somewhere with any question your heartmind desires to know the answers to.

Love!
Tim / OM Collective
