Dreaming In Vapors
Hedonia Part i
In a world addicted to distraction and denial, Dreaming In Vapors is a sonic wake up call — an epic tribute to the 70's rock culture that shouts into the face of American chaos.
This is not just a double record set. It’s a statement. A journey through trauma, forgotten working class towns, gender riots, AI faction robots, spiritual reckoning, and late-night soul confessionals.
Somewhere between Iggy Pop's Stooges period, Springsteen's Born In The USA, Bowie's Diamond Dogs and Sly Stone's "There's A Riot Goin' On", this two series record paints a fractured fresco of America.
Dreaming In Vapors is guitar and synth driven experiment. A biographical sonic exploration of trauma deconstruction. Re-arranging rhythm and tonality in two separate music genres that share the same theme of isolation, alienation and spiritual healing.
A mantra for the anti-influencer, artists, misfits, and truth-tellers of the future, DIV is ground zero for a new music movement waiting to be born.

“Rusty Cadillac” is a big sky desert love ballad. Pedal steel, mandolin, and harmonica follows two souls chasing freedom under big country skies, holding on to memories, loss, and the quiet hope of where the road might lead.
A new guitar rhythm structure called skip-along sets the stage for the story about hope and dreams, - “driving down the freeway you and I, free from those white lines.” Rebels on the road to nowhere, somewhere, anywhere that opens the door to fate and accepting the deck of cards life deals you.

About Scot Sier:
As an independent musician, inventor, and entrepreneur, I’ve spent my life moving between two callings: honoring the music I create and advancing the mission of elevating music to a higher purpose. From founding Budda Amplification—built to protect musicians’ hearing and redefine modern guitar tone—to developing my latest patent, Creator DNA, a biometric system for human authorship in the AI era, my work has always been rooted in one thing: the music itself.
A prodigious violinist turned genre‑bending rocker, I’ve shared stages and studios with artists such as Carlos Santana and Buddy Miles, and my albums feature world‑class musicians including Chris Chaney (AC/DC, Jane’s Addiction), Aaron Sterling (John Mayer), and Max Hart (Melissa Etheridge). Through every chapter, I’ve used music as a conduit to a higher purpose—bringing people together, inspiring transformation, and creating a more enlightened world through meaningful change.

Venus is a psychedelic punk meditation on illusion, desire, and spiritual disconnection, the song navigates the surreal meaning of life through the symbolic figure of Venus — one part muse, the other abstract commentator.
Surreal imagery of “plastic people,” broken dreams, royal courts, and empty rituals paints a world obsessed with appearance and false wisdom, moving between spiritual awakening and collapse, sailing through beauty, loneliness, and existential decay.
The track blends 70’s era glam-noir mysticism with poetic social commentary, evoking a dreamlike journey through seduction, alienation, and the search for something real beneath modern artifice.
Thank you backers!
kickstarter funded project
Heads or Tales is a Kickstarter funded favorite of eclectic music listeners - barn burning Americana meets indie pop, metal and gypsy punk. This visionary album raised $25,000 on Kickstarter with the support of 111 dedicated backers, proving the power of community to bring bold, independent music to life.
The record blends searing social critique with intimate spiritual reflection, moving from the apocalyptic imagery of Dark Star — to the transcendent grace of Shining Light, written in the one-of-a-kind Shine Tuning (D♯ A♯ D G G D) invented from a mystical encounter and dream.
At its core, the album is about duality: collapse and renewal, grief and remembrance, despair and hope. Its songs navigate the wreckage of modern life while searching for balance in nature, memory, and human connection.
With poetic intensity and a prophetic edge, Heads or Tales establishes itself as both a personal testament and a collective call for love and awakening. Listen and Purchase Here

Shining Light
Scot Sier
Shining Light is Heads Or Tails first single written in a one-of-a-kind-guitar tuning after a mystical experience on a secluded Northern California beach. The songs indie rock production was shaped by engineer, Jamie Durr and producer Josh Fix whose lush vocal arrangements tell a story about reincarnation - a sonic energy we all carry.

Proto-Jazz Punk Insect Guest
This mind bending alter-ego experiment of sonic exploration pushes the boundaries of proto-jazz punk to new heights.
TIME OUT is the featured song on the up coming 2026 release which may be the first to bridge humans and insects in music. The sound of a live cicada recorded in Sier's bathroom nesting there for months became Mother Nature’s own drummer. Its perfect rhythm embedded into the track as metronome for the song.
The vibrational energy force and featured music lineup unleashed from this album will have serious muzoids bouncing off the walls.
