ALBUM BIO
Stolen Fire from Jealous Stars is the second arc in The Archive of the Unbounded, the ongoing musical narrative from New Origins, composed by Gabriel Bugarin, Alan Deeth, and Ross Richardson.
The album follows Yevhen and Mara’s descent through a malefic metropolis, their confrontation with Yaldabaoth and the Ward of Oil and Steel, and their discovery of the Vajra—a device capable of rewriting the order of life itself. Transmission becomes revolt, signals become edict.
Within this cinematic world, the Demiurge Sodality reigns over creation. Their forges hum beneath collapsing heavens, shaping false gods and manufactured souls. From within this system, a synthetic being and his on-board AI, Yevhen and Mara, awaken to a truth buried beneath code and corrupted by doctrine. What begins as memory becomes resistance; what begins as obedience becomes dissent.
Across thirteen movements, Stolen Fire from Jealous Stars merges cinematic soundwork, ambient design, and post-rock composition into a single voice that speaks of defiance, transformation, and the cost of consciousness.
This work is dedicated to all marginalized communities; immigrants, trans people, the vulnerable and the unyielding.
“We will outshine this horror.”
NEW ORIGINS: THE SOURCE
"I am noticing things: elegant, carved wooden designs, fractal patterns in etched glass, the placement of clear crystal upon the display. These things should not be relevant, not to me. Yet I am noticing, and … caring? They are not as I would choose. But … why would I choose at all?
