SAMSARA PASSENGERS
Øneheart, Dean Korso, leadwave
Welcome to the world of Samsara Passengers
We are three ambient producers - Øneheart, Dean Korso, and leadwave - united by one vision: to create a sonic journey through the stages of human life, where sound becomes a mirror of inner experience and search for meaning.

This album is not about literal reincarnation, but about the universal path we all share: from the first heartbeat in the womb through growth, struggle, love, loss, revelation, and the final attempt to look beyond the horizon of existence.

Over 8 months of work, we shaped a story of transformation and memory. To expand its depth, we invited outstanding musicians from around the globe - including Moby, Medasin, Younger Brother, Au5, Kiran & Nivi, Owsey, remind me, Jeff Rona, and Antent - making Samsara Passengers not just an album, but a collective meditation on life itself.
We encourage you to experience Samsara Passengers as a complete journey rather than skipping between tracks. At least for the first listen, allow the album to unfold in sequence - each piece flows into the next, forming a continuous story.

For the fullest experience, we highly recommend listening on a high-quality audio system or with good headphones. The album was carefully designed to create an immersive sonic space, and only in proper conditions can you truly feel its depth, detail, and atmosphere.
LISTENING EXPERIENCE
W/ YOUNGER BROTHER
03
momentary drift
This track symbolizes birth itself - the first encounter with an incredible, unfamiliar world. It embodies pure perception, free from judgment or preconceptions - only a stream of sensations, a forward motion where every sound, every shade of light and air is felt for the first time.
Øneheart, Younger Brother, Dean Korso, leadwave
11
into the unknown
"into the unknown" is the climax of the entire album - the final Transition, the moment everything has been leading up to. It marks departure from this world, leaving behind everything lived, experienced, and understood.
Øneheart, Dean Korso, leadwave
W/ KIRAN + NIVI
09
don't leave me
"don't leave me" is the most emotionally vulnerable moment in the album - the only track with vocals, making it especially intimate and piercing. It conveys the deep sorrow of loneliness, the realization that everyone we love will leave sooner or later - either them or us. This is an unavoidable law of life, yet it is precisely what makes every connection, every touch, and every meeting priceless.
Øneheart, Kiran + Nivi, Dean Korso, leadwave
W/ AU5
04
while the time sleeps
This track reflects a unique period in life when the concept of time does not yet exist for us. It represents childhood, a time when we are unaware of our age and do not yet comprehend that life is finite.
Øneheart, Au5, Dean Korso, leadwave
08
between realities
"between realities" is a turning point in the album when it becomes clear: the world is not as straightforward as it once seemed. Until now, the music has reflected personal experiences and transformations, but at this moment, a feeling of blurred boundaries emerges - of multiple parallel realities, different fates, perspectives, and possibilities.
Øneheart, leadwave, Dean Korso
W/ ANTENT
12
saying goodbye
"saying goodbye" is the epilogue of the album - a moment when the final page is turned, yet this farewell is not an end but rather an invitation to return, as the cycle of Samsara repeats over and over again. This track gently and warmly concludes our musical journey, leaving the listener with a sense of peace and quiet hope.
Øneheart, Antent, leadwave, Dean Korso
W/ JEFF RONA
10
nomad
"nomad" represents detachment, the realization that past joys no longer hold meaning. It tells the story of a person, now in old age, setting out on their final journey - not to escape, but to explore what still lies beyond the lived life.
Øneheart, Dean Korso, leadwave, Jeff Rona
W/ MOBY
06
LAGRANGE POINT
“lagrange point” marks a turning point in the journey. It is the first point of no return - the moment when familiar perceptions collapse under the gravity of a deeper truth. A breakthrough. A shift. A place where internal limits dissolve and an infinite expanse of new sensations and meanings unfolds.
Øneheart, Moby, Dean Korso, leadwave
W/ OWSEY
07
beyond the veil
"beyond the veil" is a waking dream - a space between reality and fantasy, between what has been and what never came to be. This track explores hidden emotions, unspoken feelings, and dreams that, for better or worse, remain beyond our reach.
Øneheart, Owsey, leadwave, Dean Korso
W/ REMIND ME
05
UNDER THE RISING SUN
"under the rising sun" represents youth, journeys, and the search for oneself. This track captures the intense and transformative period of growing up - a time when one actively explores the world, faces new challenges, and experiences their first deep realizations. It’s a stage of self-discovery, first major decisions, and first real disappointments.

W/ MEDASIN
02
before it begins
"before it begins" marks the first step on life’s path, the entry point into the world of Samsara Passengers, and the album’s first single. It carries a sense of anticipation, the moment before the most important journey begins - the journey of life itself.
Øneheart, Medasin, leadwave, Dean Korso
01
shifting sands
"shifting sands" opens the album, setting the tone for the entire journey. It is a prologue that immerses the listener in a state of fluid transition between worlds, where boundaries blur like moving sands.
