Boxedge: "OBLIVION" – A song from the future that no longer remembers the past

by BOXEDGE

“Oblivion” is the first glimpse of a future that no longer belongs to us.
Lunaria Payne doesn’t sing from here.
She sings from a time that doesn’t exist yet — or perhaps never will.

It’s a transmission — a vocal signal from an era where memory is treated as system instability.
In the world Lunaria comes from, remembering is a fault: a disturbance, a drift.
Fragments of the past are erased frame by frame, rewritten by protocols of silence.
Those who hold on too long… vanish.
They become a glitch.

“Oblivion” tells that story.
Not through rebellion, but through a whisper — the voice of someone who’s already beginning to fade, yet still wants to leave a trace.

Lunaria doesn’t scream.
She doesn’t accuse.
She doesn’t plead.
She simply sings.
With a voice that’s calm, distant, and haunting.

And here lies the paradox: while the lyrics speak of loss and erasure, the music moves through an electronic soul atmosphere, rich with echoes of R&B.
The sound is warm — but it doesn’t comfort.

This contrast is deliberate.
It marks the first step in Lunaria Payne’s evolution toward her final form: the genre we call Cyber Noir.
A style imagined as post-modern, glitchy, electronic and cold — yet harmonically rooted in the blues.
A sonic space where the warmth of the soul drifts through digital ruins and luminous absences.

“Oblivion” is a warning.
It’s the beginning of a larger narrative world, one that will unfold through upcoming videos, new tracks…

And for those of you reading to the end — I’m also working on something special: a transmedia narrative project, crossing sound, text, and vision.
I can’t say more for now, but I will, soon.

About the cover of the vinyl “Love Like Blood / The Circle”

Love Like Blood The Circle Cover Art

About the cover of the vinyl “Love Like Blood / The Circle”

by PZ

🎥 Watch the video below. It was my first attempt to explore the concept behind the artwork. What follows is a more complete reflection.

Some time ago, I recorded the short video  above that began with a simple question: “What is an abyss?”

Today, I return to that question to share a more complete view of the images I created for our first limited edition vinyl, Love Like Blood / The Circle (300 hand-numbered copies).

Front – Rose in the Abyss

The front cover is titled “Rose in the Abyss”.
At the center, I painted an upside-down rose — suspended above a compact black circle that seems to absorb everything.
The circle is surrounded by vivid, dense red brushstrokes in circular motion:
Blood, fire, passion… or perhaps destruction.

Amid this swirling magma and black void, something still resists.
The rose — fragile and defiant — refuses to vanish.
It isn’t swallowed by the abyss, nor does it burn in the vortex.

This image was born from listening to the two tracks by Boxedge, “Love Like Blood” and “The Circle”.
Emotions, pulses, and desires moved within me and led to this visual expression.

 

Back – Rebirth

The back cover has a different title: “Rebirth”.
Where once there was the abyss, now there is only a vast red current.
A flowing energy.

Two slender figures face each other — distant, yet connected.
A perfect red circle cuts through them both, linking them, though they remain apart.
It feels like a silent current between two extremes.

The red background remains, but its structure changes: the brushstroke is no longer circular, as in Rose in the Abyss, but horizontal — like the steady movement of a river.
It flows, evolves, carries.

In contrast, the two long, black silhouettes — a recurring element in many of my works — detach themselves from that fluid.
They do not merge with it. They remain in tension, recognizable yet only faintly outlined.
Presences that sense each other, perhaps reach out — but never touch.

Rebirth is about tension and possibility.
It speaks of the will to emerge from the undifferentiated flow of life, from its endless cycle.
A quiet battle to be reborn and become truly oneself.

In a reality that tends to homogenize and blur all things, these two figures remain slender, fragile — but distinct.
This isn’t an answer, but a threshold. A movement toward something new.

 

Love Like Blood / The Circle – Red vinyl – Limited Edition

📀 Love Like Blood / The Circle is available in a limited, numbered edition (300 copies).
A vinyl not only to listen to — but to hold, to look at, to feel.
A small fragment of a larger story.
