Hey, I'm Taylor Proffitt aka Dark Sines, and I am an experimental composer and performer based in the eastern US that produces a ton of material that's not officially released. My music is self-termed Psyche-Music as it is aimed at allowing the listener to set a space to listen, drift into the experimental tones and textures, waves and washes of sound that lull the listener into a subconscious state where things like self-concept, self-perception, and self-image can be touched, stretched, tossed, and repainted.
I suggest that listeners of my music at some point take the time to make a playlist of my music and the music of musicians I follow or perform with, and on a cold night, turn off the lights, light the candles, take some melatonin (or whatever calms you down), and let the music open your subconscious so you may walk down the spiral stair case to your unconscious, the space where all of your dreams, fantasies, desires, and aspirations swirl around you like stars in your own universe. It is in this space where we discover ourselves truly and can reimagine ourselves. It's an experiment that makes you a participant in the music, making you the creator or your truest self.

Heal thyself so you may heal the world in the process.

Please let me know if my music has had any therapeutic value to you.

Love & Rage,

DS

Thank you for your support!

I appreciate your support of my project and I highly recommend giving feedback about the project I will post more longer form singles and triads that will be used for hypnotic daydreaming, an effective therapeutic treatment using sound and stillness to relax between the liminal space between consciousness and unconsciousness. We can discover a lifetime of learning about our inner selves in these music-oriented therapeutic experiments.

The entire purpose behind this project is to advocate for acceptance of neurodiversity and to rid the harmful stigmas of mental health that tortured so many people who needed compassion and still do. Destigmatizing mental health is the heart and soul of my work as an artist.

My theory of hypnotic daydreaming is based on the work of Carl Jung and William Blake and is similar to what Jung called fantastical thinking or the active imagination. I believe, by relaxing very deeply in a comfortable chair or couch turning off the lights, lighting the candles, and drifting into this music, without falling entirely asleep, can help access parts of our subconscious and an outlet for those feelings to be experienced. A healthy way to discover hidden parts of our lives and discovering potentially repressed traumas or memories from childhood we've lost grasp of, can be healed and rediscovered through the sub- and unconscious space, within a safe blanket of sound. This is the concept of all my music, both through solo and collections of longform work, as well as through proper LP's.

If my music has been helpful to you at all or if you wish to chat about psychology, I'm here for it! drop me a line at darksines.music@gmail.com

I am currently in an Accelerated Nursing School Program, after which, I plan to join the world of psychiatric nursing, and caring for those whose minds are in a spectrum of confusion and beauty, and oftentimes in distress.
My Dream is to open a clinic which utilizes music therapy, hypnosis, therapeutic gardening, Jungian psychoanalysis, medication-oriented therapy, music meditation, and diving into the root of our individual and collective problems. Let us heal ourselves and heal the world in the process.

With Love, Care, & Rage

DS
