Welcome to the official website for The End of a Cycle project! Here you can find titbits of information, media that was made for the project and hopefully all the pieces of the project itself eventually.

The project has been put on-hold for a long time now, but the first journey is finally coming to an end. Sound and survival will find its way as the project is finally reaching the final stages before there will be discussion on where and how to give birth to the release of it all.

Different factions fight for control. Jazztro bleeds blue light beneath the waves. The Classical Empire fights to preserve order in a world built on dissonance. Metura rots the land with sludge and distortion, a shadow born from greed and forgotten solos. And somewhere in the middle of it all there is a broken producer trying to remember who he is.

They’ll tell you it’s chaos. That it’s broken. But listen long enough, and you’ll hear patterns and echoes of something older than any map, any war, any name.

Don't forget to turn the volume up. The world is listening!

About

The End Of A Cycle: The Interstellar Composition is the first book by Jeffrey Bryan Rijnsburger.
It tells the story of a world where music and sound are at the heart of everything.

The book includes two CDs. One features music by underground artists and the author.
The second CD is made to follow the story. Each track is linked to a chapter so you can dive into the atmosphere while you read.

This project is more than a book. It is a new way to experience a story.

Story

Mych Trevor carved out a life on a broken world. He never dared to dream beyond the walls of his cramped studio apartment.
When the mother planet fell silent and corruption rotted his home, Mych lost everything he had left.

Now he is thrown into a world no map dares to chart. A place fueled by old grudges and endless rivalry.
There are no weapons here. No machines to hide behind.
Only music.

If Mych wants to survive, he must trust the one thing he still owns. His craft. His music must speak where words and strength fail.
In a world built on sound, even a single wrong note could mean the end.
