Lyrics Preview
I died and came back — 45 doors in the dark,
Angels with white wings pulled me from the heart.
They called me broken, said I'd never rise,
Now I build the future right before their eyes.
·
Digital Savant — blueprints on the wall,
Robotic hands and holograms standing tall.
Every penny's a vote, every dollar a voice,
5.8 billion people — make the world rejoice.
·
I grew up on 16th, raised myself from the street,
Traveled every nation, never missed a beat.
No gatekeepers, no shunning, love is the key,
The Digital Savant — that's D-E-K.
The Real Mission

I grew up on 16th Street. Met murderers. Met bank robbers. Met people who played chess with the mayor of San Francisco. Record producers in LA hunted me down at 18 — their publishers tracked me to SF just to bring me back. I've seen the world's worst and its most brilliant. I know everybody has a heart in there somewhere. It's just been broken.

When they told me I had osteomyelitis — that I'd die from sepsis if I didn't amputate my toes — my doctor wouldn't prescribe a hyperbaric chamber. So I invented one. That's who I am. I don't stop. I create.

Now I just want to go to Japan. Sit on a beautiful island. Experience people. Let that fuel the next invention — the next thing that helps somebody. That's all this is.

The Penny Math 🧮
5.8 billion people × $0.01 = $58,000,000
5.8 billion people × $1.00 = $5,800,000,000
Whatever you can afford. Every single one counts.
Support the Release

I don't really want money. I want to travel and experience people — that's what gives me creativity. When I meet someone on a beautiful island, or in Japan, or anywhere — it makes me a better inventor, a better healer. Every penny goes toward that journey and comes back as something I build for you.

This records your pledge of support. Payment processing coming soon via Stripe. Every entry counts toward the global tally.

Dial-Up Overture

The machine does not boot. It remembers.

Opening live-theater sound sequence for Digital Savant. Old internet nostalgia, modem-inspired screeches, slow-loading visuals, audience phone sounds, and theatrical darkness — the network waking up in a room full of humans.

Stage sequence — 8 cues
  1. 01
    Blackout
    House lights fall. The room breathes. A single red exit sign is the only anchor.
  2. 02
    One phone chirps
    A lone audience phone lets out an old chirp — unclear if it was planted or real.
  3. 03
    Dial tone enters
    A dial tone unspools through the room speakers, low and steady, held long enough to hurt.
  4. 04
    Handshake builds
    Modem-inspired handshake tones cascade in stereo — a machine trying to remember how to speak.
  5. 05
    1990s webpage loads slowly
    On the main screen, a fake 1990s webpage renders pixel by pixel. Broken image icons. A banner ad frame.
  6. 06
    Terminal text appears
    White text on black: CONNECTING… → NEGOTIATING SIGNAL… → HUMAN ONLINE.
  7. 07
    Machine Choir enters
    A chorus of layered voices begins to repeat, softly at first: copy · optimize · replicate.
  8. 08
    Digital Savant enters
    Under the choir, the opening vocal lands. The room understands the machine has been remembering the whole time.
