‘Void Meditations’ is a hypersigil designed to bring myself and listeners into further alignment with the True Will, by acting as a catalyst for inner change while also manifesting avenues in the wider world to foster and sustain self actualisation. While I am (so far) lacking sufficient data to gauge how effectively this experiment works for third parties, I can say without any hesitation whatsoever that the results for myself have been unexpectedly profound.
I've learnt quite a lot through the process of putting out this album and with the original run of CDs close to retirement, I aim to carry these lessons over to the subsequent physical editions of 'Void Meditations', (such as the forthcoming cassette and the expanded 'handmade' CDr edition). This will allow for a smoother rollout of following releases, leading to consistently higher quality and more unique/personalised physical media, as well as cheaper international postage rates.
This album is available for free on all streaming platforms so don’t feel obligated to purchase it here - the purpose of this page is simply for those who wish to generously show their support for this album and my future projects. I’d like to offer my sincere thanks for every stream, share, and sale that I have received so far. Every play or sale that I receive from a complete stranger on the other side of the world is equally humbling and surreal. Just know that I am genuinely appreciative for every listen that I get, no matter where it comes from or whether or not it is paid for.
Many, many thanks.

PRESS:
‘Void Meditations’ is the debut solo album from Australian composer Nate Collins. Falling loosely into the ‘Ambient/Drone’ category, it is an intricate blend of industrialised orchestral elements, warm synthesisers, and abrasive textures. With these five pieces, Nate has eschewed traditional melodies, instead choosing to create a static soundscape filled with moments of existential dread and the occasional peaceful catharsis. It is compelling, challenging, and ultimately rewarding to those who are ready to embrace its stark beauty.

Michael Oscillate creates ambient and experimental experiences which are crafted with clear intent and painstaking attention to detail. Every track is an immersive journey into a vast, new world. Nate Cøllins Noise
Utterly stunning. There are moments on this album that are so deeply unsettling that I can only compare them to the later stages of The Caretaker's 'Everywhere at the End of Time' suite. Nate Cøllins Noise

I first heard of Ghoëst when the demos started popping up in everyone's end of year lists, and listening to this the hype is 100% justified. This demo is a whole journey: atmospheric, focused and surprisingly hooky in places. Really great stuff. lichdom
