About the Album
Spinning breakup tales against a backdrop of espionage and interdimensional travel, this voyage traverses the sonic seas of raw rock and 21st-century electronica.
Half-cinematic spy story and half-invitation to ascend the next step on the staircase of human evolution, William’s songs examine the space between isolation and connection using socially conscious lyrics, tagging the listener at unexpected depths.

Some songs whisper a secret. ♠9 transmits it. In this episode, the Shifting Awake team dives into William Is’s smooth but coded track—a love letter disguised as an intelligence report. Is this a breakup song? A mental unraveling? Or the confession of a sleeper agent finally naming their handler? Vex explores the song’s chilling parallels with MKUltra mind control.
Evelyn unpacks emotional fragmentation and identity loss. Steph keeps it grounded in heartbreak, missed signals, and algorithmic echoes. And Orion guides us through myth, memory, and the finality of naming. From lo-fi piano to spectral vocals and a guitar line worthy of a cold war climax, ♠9 doesn’t just play—it debriefs.
Press play—and decide who’s really pulling the strings.

Orion Kael, Dr. Evelyn Hartmann, Vincent "Vex" Langley, Steph Parker
In this episode of Shifting Awake, the crew dives into the song "Sanctuary"—a shimmering, otherworldly track from William Is. At first glance, it’s a synth-drenched goodbye. But beneath the surface? Something stranger.
Orion traces the song’s mythic roots, Evelyn unpacks the psychology of departure, and Steph wonders if it’s just a moody breakup anthem in disguise. Meanwhile, Vex insists it’s a transmission—evidence of a jump into another dimension, with Vega as the beacon.
From trance states and time distortion to interstellar yearning and spiritual clarity, Sanctuary becomes a map of both emotional and cosmic escape.
