To set the themes of SYNTECH+: stories, memories, dreams, self-expectation and self-motivation.
...Is what I want to say. SYNTECH as a project wound up being largely a compilation of songs I had previously written, while trying to breathe new life into many of them. There's no specific strong theme to this album; please enjoy it as you wish. The album, and it's songs, will ultimately mean something a little different for everyone, and that's amazing.
I'll just be writing what these songs were about to me, when I wrote them.
lyrics
As the autumn skies dim and I gaze at the sunset,
the clouds in the sky mock me.
They roam free, reaching newer, higher heights,
while I’m watching, waiting, wondering...
Have I done enough?
I know it's not enough to wait, to watch.
Yet… sometimes, it's all I can do.
Sitting and watching twilight approach,
basking in my fondest memories and dreams,
sipping a fresh cup of lavender.
I guess that’s okay, in the end.
It’s so easy to get lost in the rush of the day
when we all seek to do more, be more
than we ever imagine achieving.
We’ll never catch a break. That’s life.
So, in moments like these
when we’re allowed a touch of calm,
where we’re given a chance for repose,
it’s fine to take it slow. To watch. To wait.
Someday, you’ll notice that evening colored horizon
rolling into dusk, take a seat, and ask yourself
these same questions on my mind.
Will it ever be enough?

Circus's "715" is an excellent evolution of his sound and style since the "Lucid" days. I'm extremely proud to be part of it (on "Patches", "Castaway" remix), and thoroughly enjoy the entire album. nostraightanswer
Melt came into my orbit by covering a song I recorded for Circus-P. Since then, her own sound has become something quite special, and has made herself a mainstay of the English VOCALOID scene. nostraightanswer
