Architects of Worldwide Equanimity
I decided to expand on my ideas and concepts through this innovative production and combine many techniques to create something no one had created before. I was inspired.

I chose to flesh out my thoughts and theories with this forward-thinking production and combine many techniques to create something no one had created before. I was inspired.
So I imagined:
ARCHITECTS OF WORLDWIDE EQUANIMITY
An album that bridges philosophical depth, exploring the concepts and potential Pluto’s transit in Aquarius and its effect on what will occur during this last period in the Lo Shu Square, Period 9 also known as “The Age of Nine”. Available in its entirety on Soundcloud and for purchase at https://damienlamar.bandcamp.com/album/architects-of-worldwide-equanimity
First, let’s explore this. This is pretty neat!
If you multiply any number by 3 and then add the digits until you have just one number left, you will always get 3, 6, or 9. The same goes for multiplying by 6. But if you multiply by 9, you will always end up with 9.
When I multiply by 3, 6, or 9, it’s really easy. I saw something interesting: no matter how big the number is, if you multiply it by 369 or 36 and then add the digits together, you will always get 9. I think there are patterns with other numbers too, but 3, 6, and 9 are the easiest to notice. This made me think about a theory by a famous inventor named Nikola Tesla.
I decided to multiply some easy numbers and then add the digits together. For example, if I do 3 times 4, I get 12. Then, I add the digits in 12: 1 + 2 = 3. If I multiply 6 times 3, I get 18. Then, I add the digits in 18: 1 + 8 = 9. If I multiply 9 times 5, I get 45. Adding the digits in 45 gives me: 4 + 5 = 9.
It all comes back to the number 9.
So, SIDE A is 9 tracks, and so is SIDE B; making a total of 18 tracks. 1+8 = 9.
Now, do you see?
This 63-minute hand-crafted/AI assisted concept album functions simultaneously as artistic expression and societal commentary. I made genre-specific prompts or would describe the feeling of what I was hoping to hear as I uploaded samples from my original archives dating back to 2010. I dug through 15 years of music files to see how AI would interpret them. To say the least, I was impressed beyond words. How AI was able to remix these tunes into magnificent compositions? I don’t know. But I was mind-blown. 🤯
I present to you:
“Architects of Worldwide Equanimity” (A.W.E.)
A unique, and unorthodox musical experience exploring humanity’s potential for transformation during times of systemic collapse. The album creates a story arc that begins with acknowledgment of our current precarious state of “Anti-Christ Consciousness”, and re-introduces time traveler and archivist, “Professor Clock”, who leads the album with a warning: (“NO ONE IS PREPARED”) and gradually evolves toward a vision of collective rebuilding and renewal (“USHERS OF THE NEW EARTH”).
Many of my creations are profoundly influenced by Afrofuturist traditions and time-travel motifs. I have intentionally blended these elements throughout my recent creations, using the visuals as a source of inspiration. As I immerse myself in them, I experience “downloads”: epiphanies, aha moments, and bursts of creativity. These insights transform into characters that share their stories with me, which I then translate into music to accompany their narratives.
Sonically, this album showcases my dedication to prompt engineering and the mastery of electronic production techniques, blending atmospheric ambience with rhythmically complex sections.
By interpolating my original songs from “The New Adventures of ProfessorClock” series (10 volumes to date), the integration of AI-assisted production elements enhances rather than replaces human creativity, creating textural depths that would be difficult to achieve through conventional means.
The album’s 18 tracks are intentionally mixed, sequenced and mastered in Logic Pro X to create a temporal flow, with shorter interludes (“ALKEBULAN,” “JOURNEY,” the spoken accompaniment from my novella, “Cronos Catharsis”, I was able to bring to life through music, spoken word and the most imaginative visuals with “AWAKEN PHOENIX”). These pieces serve as transitional moments between more developed compositions. This architectural approach to sequencing reflects the album’s thematic concern with conscious design and construction.
What makes this project particularly significant is how it positions electronic music not merely as entertainment but as a vehicle for deep philosophical inquiry and social transformation. While there may be underlying resistance to its presentation, I am also aware of some folks’ underlying disdain for AI, its disruptive nature, and its unknown potential. However, as an artist and creator, I reject the false dichotomy between artistic expression and social consciousness. Instead, I demonstrate how technology-assisted creativity can amplify our ability to envision and realize more equitable futures.
I decided to release this thematic album on March 21, 2025 (the spring equinox), underscoring the feeling and sound of and concern with balance and harmony. By inviting listeners to become “conscious architects of positive change.”
I’ve always loved experimental music and how producers would sample beats and reimagine works. I took the same position, except I used my own stuff. If you’ve been listening, you’ll recognize the references. Electronic music at its most ambitious and societally relevant, demonstrating, and this time, I let AI-assisted me in creating something so freaking unique to help me amplify rather than diminish human creativity and purpose.
With A.W.E., my goal is to assist in the energetic push to move from passive consumption into active participation, making this album not just a collection of tracks but a blueprint for collective action, inviting storytellers of speculative fiction, musicians and artists to reimagine possible futures beyond current social structures.
