It’s official — Senter’s new album is titled Horizons!
After the reveal earlier today, I’m sure some of you have questions. Here are a few I expect people to ask:
- What’s the tracklist for this album?
- In the Horizons reveal video, what song is playing in the background?
-
How close are you to finishing Horizons? You said you wouldn’t reveal specific details until you were nearly done…
In this post, I’ll answer all three of those questions and share a bit more information about the project.
If you don’t want to read about all of the details, scroll to the bottom to read the TL;DR.
The Story Behind Horizons
Before anything, you need to have some knowledge of the story that is guiding the creation process of Horizons. This simple poem conveys the story well, so I’ll just let you read it.
The traveler awakens
in the barren landscape
looks into the distance
into the beacon.
He pushes onward,
crossing over the dunes,
in hope
to reach the horizon.
It might also help you to watch the Horizons reveal video, as that sets the tone for the whole album, and also features a first listen to one of the songs from the album!
If you still don’t understand the story based off of these two, let me break it down even further.
Our protagonist, a mysterious traveler, wakes up in a brand-new world. The origins of the traveler and the world are unknown. He gazes into the distance, where he sees a beacon of light originating from the lighthouse. This beacon is the only sign of hope on this planet that he can see, so he pushes onwards. He treks over the dunes of the landscape, hoping to reach the horizon.
This also ties to the promotional campaign for this album, Hope Leads The Lost.
Question 1: What’s the tracklist for this album?
The simple answer is this:
- Awakening
- Barren
- Distance
- Beacon
- Onward
- Crossing
- Dunes
- Hope
- Horizon
If you’re curious about where these names came from, the longer explanation is that they originate from the poem I mentioned at the beginning of this post. Just so you don’t have to scroll all the way back to the top, here it is again:
The traveler awakens
in the barren landscape
looks into the distance
into the beacon.
He pushes onward,
crossing over the dunes,
in hope
to reach the horizon.
It’s pretty clear where the names came from, although a few have been slightly adjusted.
Question 2: In the Horizons reveal video, what song is playing in the background?
That one's easy; the album’s opening track, titled Awakening. This song is meant to open up the world of Horizons and introduce its landscape before the traveler starts his journey.
Question 3: How close are you to finishing Horizons?
To be honest, not too close. The album art is finished, and the tracklist won’t change. However, the only song currently completed is Awakening, which you heard in the reveal video. This is why I’m aiming for a Spring 2026 release. With other releases, including Elements, I wanted to share my music as soon as possible, so I rushed the production of the project in order to get it out as soon as possible. That isn’t going to be true with Horizons. I’m going to give myself plenty of time to make sure that this album is the best it can be.
As I get closer and more tracks are completed, I’ll most likely share one or multiple of them on my socials, so make sure to follow me on Instagram, YouTube, and Bandcamp.
Bonus: Are there any other details you want to share?
Sure! One of my previous ideas was a riddle campaign to individually reveal the tracklist. These riddles would’ve been posted weekly, with each riddle revealing the previous riddle’s answer. Here’s the riddle for Awakening:
I am the start of a new tomorrow,
the end of a day full or hollow.
This would’ve been a fun way to build up to the announcement of Horizons, but in the end, I think the way it ended up being revealed was substantially better.
TL;DR:
Here’s the general overview of what I’ve shared here, if you want the TLDR.
Story: A mysterious traveler awakens in a barren world and spots a beacon originating from a lighthouse. He crosses over the dunes, guided by the beam of hope on the horizon.
Tracklist: Awakening • Barren • Distance • Beacon • Onward • Crossing • Dunes • Hope • Horizon
Current Status: Only Awakening is finished. Full album release should be around Spring of 2026.
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed learning more about the world of Horizons, and get ready for the release!
