The signal you caught wasn’t an accident. It was stitched from fading memories, distorted recordings, and a melody that survived the fall of everything we once knew.

This is the edge of the mapped world—the part they left off the charts, where frequencies wander and songs are weapons. Out here, there are no algorithms, no overseers, no rules. Only sound and survival.

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—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—echoes of something older than any map, any war, any name.

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

Mitch 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, Mitch 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 Mitch 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.
