New Therian Music!

Today, September 19th, 2024, I released my new album "Starlight Telepath." Listen to it here!

Starlight Telepath is my fifteenth album and my thirteenth as Baumarius, featuring Soundsgate Orchestra (via Musiversal), Italian violinist Lucia La Rezza, Argentinian opera singer Mailén Blanco Arriola, and more. The music speaks of the adventures my friends and I will go on, the nature of conscious existence, and reflections on my life as a therian, synesthete, and cult survivor.

The release of this album nine years after the cult's supposed end-of-the-world date symbolizes my success, the power of self-expression, and the value of genuine relationships and community. I couldn't have made it to this point without the friends I made by sharing my music and artwork online. I hope that these songs enrich your life.

Purchasing the album on Bandcamp will give you access to a bonus track upon release - the original version of "The Wolf That Fell From Baumar," which was created by Aktaion ("Action") and given to me as a gift.

Therian Music - Live Album Release Event for Starlight Telepath

This is it! Tonight (9/18) at 8:30 PM EST I will be going live on Twitch to host a listening party and to close out the vinyl/download raffle for Starlight Telepath. All three live orchestra videos will be shown. If you miss it, the album will release at midnight on just about everything. Thanks to everyone who boosted my visibility for this album! I hope it surpasses all of your expectations and gives you something to dream about ^^

No amount of explaining why you identify as an animal will change the fact that you feel like one. And it likely won't change someone else's opinion if they think you're crazy. You don't need to give anyone a reason, in fact. You are what you are and whatever conscious experience you're having will always be a mystery to everybody everywhere for the rest of your life. It is much more constructive to talk about what that means, or to just be yourself. Nobody's asking you to justify why you're here.

This is a very random thought, but I lowkey miss the simple times when being a therian meant simply to be intrinsically an animal in any extent and "psychological" and "spiritual" were only the theories one held about the origin of their therianthropy.

I don't know, I just feel like we unnecessarily complicated the matters for ourselves. I feel like a lot of people out there (especially on theriantok, but I saw this on youtube and in discord servers too) wouldn't jump into the "it's just a spiritual connection" bullcrap if the community didn't attach those two theories to the definition at whatever point.

I'm an animal. It's what I believe to be, regardless of how I explain it or how is it expressed, or to what extent or on what level that is.

I feel like a lot of people would get mad at me for wording it this way, for no real reason. I would understand it outside of the community, but fearing stating something as obvious in spaces I considered safe, a part of the community, is a little saddening.

Besides this point, I would really like to know where did the whole connection thing come from in the first place.

"Before Our Sun Sets Its Last" is the 21st track on Starlight Telepath and was released alongside "The Fall" today.

Remember one day that you will die And that this day could be our last time together If it was...how would you spend it What would you say Would you fight Or waste time chasing some frivolous thing Who or what would you give that time to

If there is a life after this one I can't find you there if I don't know your "scent" But if life or death allows it Maybe we'll meet again, next time In paradise

Listen here.

"Starlight Telepath" is slated to release on September 19th (Thursday). I hope y'all are ready!

One week remains...

There's just one week left until the raffle ends and Starlight Telepath comes out. I hope you're as excited as I am! If you haven't heard it yet, check this out:

While we wait for the full release, would you do me a favor and share it on your socials and/or with your friends?

The success of this album and my career as a composer hinges upon my music's visibility. It may not seem like much, but word of mouth is the most powerful and effective driver of visibility in music and art. The first video from my recent live session, for example, is still sitting at ~100 views. Of course, if it's not compelling enough to share, I get it... Not everything jives with people that way.

But finding that success would allow me to give back to our community and mean that I'd be able to do much more with my art and music, as well as afford me some time to rest when I'm producing. Even if there's only one person you know who might enjoy my music, your assistance is much appreciated. Every single one of you matters to me ^^

Therians and furries are welcome to use my music in their creations, videos, and etc. so long as credit is given. If your content gets flagged, let me know so I can whitelist it.

Here's some therian meditation music I made some years ago. The lyrics at the very end aren't necessarily for wolves only, even if that's what's on the thumbnail :3

First live orchestra session by a therian!

Today I released the first of three videos from the orchestra session last week. This was the result. This track will appear on my new album "Starlight Telepath," releasing September 19th.

The premiere saw an audience of one. Bad timing I guess... Nonetheless, I hope this inspires y'all to get out there and do what you love. I am not classically trained, nor did I go to college for music - this was the result of 10 years of teaching myself and failing over and over again.
