Echoes Outphased

Themes: Y2K nostalgia, time distortion, music as technology

Relation: One of the Broken Worlds (Probala) within AURHAYIS

Core conflict: Reality splinters as sound recordings reshape time and perception

Overview

Nurathia is a distorted version of early-2000s Suburbia where every mixtape, cassette, and burned CD carries the power to bend causality. Reality loops through verses and choruses; rewinds happen mid-conversation. Nu-metal bands unknowingly weaponize these “outphased frequencies,” while a shadow record label manipulates both music culture and time itself.

Core Lore

Following the Y2K bug that never quite resolved, the **Department of Temporal Acoustics** [PLACEHOLDER] used hidden algorithms inside recording hardware to test localized time warps. Their front company, **Graviton Records** [PLACEHOLDER], distributed demo tapes encoded with prototype waveforms. Listeners reported déjà vu, temporal drift, and lives repeating on different tracks. Bands competing for fame began deliberately sampling these anomalies, turning concerts into unstable temporal events—sometimes aging entire audiences or reverting them to childhood mid-song.

A rebellion of underground sound engineers called **The Analog Reign** [PLACEHOLDER] aims to restore a linear timeline by remixing the master frequency that sustains the world.
