About My Music

I began creating music in late 2025, following an expansive exploration of both emerging and established movements and genres.

Music then became a prominent creative focus of mine going forward. I spent 6 months teaching myself music theory, often through dissecting songs I found interesting.

I then learnt how to utilise a DAW (Mine being FL Studio) to create music, this part was by far the most tricky, but I soon began creating music of my own.

Overview: Following on from Empire Weeps, this album tells the story of the abyss and desolation following the collapse, Godspeed You! Black Emperor's "F♯ A♯ ∞" served to be of great inspiration when it came to creating an apocolpytic sound.
This album also features many field recordings to help tell the narrative. One of which is an interview with a falsely imprisoned man, who can be heard calling for an end to the prison industrial complex.
