Ascent Sound Lab
Where the grind gets a soundtrack. Ascent Sound Lab writes high-concept releases for people who measure progress in discipline, sweat and output. The debut album, Reign Supreme, is streaming now.
Why he made it
Building companies is a grind, and so much of it happens alone at three in the morning. Aaron wanted a soundtrack for those hours, music for people who measure progress in discipline, sweat and output.
Reign Supreme tells the whole climb in sixteen tracks: the descent and the spark, the grind, the peak of exhaustion, and finally the sovereign. It runs from rock bottom to reigning supreme.
The second book, Stratosphere, is already underway. Twelve tracks about what happens after the summit, with a second voice joining the story.
The four chapters
The Descent & The Spark
Stalled ambition, a 3 a.m. flash of clarity and the first imperfect step. Gravity Shift, The Spark and First Step (No Looking Back).
The Grind & Discipline
Showing up on the flat days until the work breaks through. Friction, Consistency, The Midnight Oil and Breakthrough.
The Peak of Exhaustion
Full capacity, quiet doubt and a reserve you didn’t know you had. Momentum, The Doubt Creeps In, Second Wind, The Peak and The View From the Summit.
The Sovereign
Skill that becomes second nature and work that outlasts you. Mastery, Legacy, Absolute Success and the title track, Reign Supreme.
