It's up to you now.

There's something special I want to tell you. Something beautiful. Something...intimate. So intimate I've crafted 17 wonderful tracks for your listening pleasure. They speak of the adventures we'll go on, the things I've seen, the finite nature of our existence, and my life of pain as a therian with species dysphoria.
At least three of those tracks will be recorded with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, including my previously released single "Empress of Karugis."
But I'm not giving it away for free this time. No, not when my voice has been consistently silenced throughout my life by people seeking to save their own necks by perpetuating academic, governmental, spiritual, and corporate agendas. Such people don't deserve to see the real me.
The SDA pre-Q-anon doomsday cult I was raised in wanted me to be an evangelist. So they beat me bloody, kicked me out of church and forced me into a cage. I lost nearly everything, even my own identity, and fought with dissociative amnesia for 6 years. I escaped on a plane only to be assaulted by a franchisee at Dunkin a year later, injured and mocked for it at my next job, then given long-covid at the next. I wrenched myself back but not without going through terror that would kill a man.
I feel like I'm dying every day. Maybe I am. I now struggle with persistent fluid in my lungs that won't go away because Trump cultists and anti-vaxxers would rather deny that covid exists. My ribs feel like they're going to break sometimes and my sternum is on fire. And no, I'm not asking for your home-grown homeopathic "remedies." My family gave me enough of those.
All the while, I've been creating music that's become stunningly beautiful, using the spiritual meaning I found out in the wild as inspiration. But I have to ask myself: Does this human community deserve to hear it?
To which I say: Yes...if you give me my voice back - if you lift me up so that I might howl my pain and joy from the mountaintops until humanity develops some goddamn empathy. Otherwise it will remain a secret shared only amongst my closest friends until it is lost forever.
I will not release my fifteenth and best album, my magnum opus Starlight Telepath, until I have at least 1,000 followers between Spotify and other music platforms. If I reach 10,000 next year, I will donate 50% of the proceeds to animal sanctuaries around the world.
Starlight Telepath is an hour of the best music you've never heard. I will be putting out a few singles over the coming months, but the full release will be dependent on this.
Labels and promoters don't want to touch it. My music isn't like the commercial pop garbage they wanna stuff down your throat. It's too real for them.
So follow me. Boost this. Give me a voice. Join my Discord server and talk to me. I want to know you as much as I want you to know me.
Until it's released (if it's released), you can hear the album in its entirety by supporting my Patreon campaign for just $5. You can check that out and pre-save my upcoming single "Superhighways" here: https://linktr.ee/baumarius
If my heart and lung issues claim my life before release but the other goals are met, I will leave it up to one of my closest friends to release the album for me.
I'm tired of shouting into the void and hearing nothing back. I want to release this in April next year, but if it's been 6 months and you find yourself asking "Why isn't Starlight Telepath out yet?" TELL YOUR FRIENDS.
