Back On Track
Welcome to Vol. 1: Back on Track. Esotus takes aim at honing his flow, more specifically, his free writing. At this point of the journey, he brings to life a unique style he calls "Flowetry", a combination of "flowing poetry" that leans toward the nature of spoken word and an alternative style of storytelling. Beginning his studies in English and Psychology, Esotus starts to form a method to his madness, and these writings are a way of expressing what's locked inside, as well as a repetition to his studies, creating a therapeutic medium and a dynamic narrative to DreamScape DayDreams.

Songs and Their Stories:
1.) Artisan
In the beginning there was an author. This author, this story, is the beginning of an unclear path that is filled with many questions and few precise answers. Clenched to the chest is a piece of life and writing is the way to make sense of the pieces found.
2.) Counter Balance
Wisdom comes from an aspect of awareness, long forgotten. It’s up to the… someone, to shed light on this dormant memory.
3.) Emphasize
With balance and moderation, much may be achieved. With practice and perseverance, then mastery is attainable.
4.) Harlem Trotter
The feelings that are invoked here, at the door, are curious. Curious as to what to do and where to go when moving forward. Interestingly enough, it’s here that one may see. Be courageous towards the future.
5.) Just a Second
Time is limited, or so the people say. Spend time wisely, the warning goes. Live, laugh, and love like there isn’t going to be a tomorrow.
6.) Let’s Rise
“What’s the strategy?”
”Like a phoenix, Rise!”
7.) So Pristine
Who knows? Maybe the question is the journey, and the answer is…
Who knows? Maybe it’s been inside the whole time.
8.) Chasm
In the mirror, what is seen? In the water, what is reflected? Is this the truth?
9.) 13th Constellation
Among the stars there were twelve, and then there was Ophiuchus. Is the light coming back?
Behind the Story
Being called to understand the human condition, Esotus began his studies in English and psychology, integrating the knowledge he gained into his works. Within his practice, he writes by free association, drawing on what he has learned and his sense of possibility, allowing the story to flow from the conscious stream.
Throughout the lyrical work in this volume, Esotus finds ways to express his struggles with isolation and mental illness through a creative outlet. His partner, Lohtus, is one of the catalysts who helps him find his voice.
Estous explores his unexplored self through these stories of the unconscious, allowing them to take root in his waking world, as the stories of DreamScape DayDreams.
