I don't confine myself to a single genre. My muse draws from every direction, and I follow where it leads using various AI technologies.
Hello, and thank you for listening. I don't really have a single genre that I aspire to create. It's mainly just what I'm feeling in the moment. My muse draws inspiration from every direction. My musical voyage takes me on journeys both internal and external, journeys whose results I can't always predict. For me, it's truly the journey that matters, not the destination. I let my creativity flow freely, allowing it to guide me where it will. I don't constrain myself to a particular style or genre; instead, I embrace the boundless possibilities of musical expression. Each new piece is an adventure, an opportunity to explore uncharted sonic territory. My aim is not to adhere to any preconceived notions of what my music "should" sound like. Rather, I strive to authentically channel the emotions, ideas, and perspectives that well up within me at any given time. The end result may defy easy categorization, but that's part of the beauty. I'm not beholden to any expectations other than my own artistic vision. So in short, I let my muse be my guide. I follow where it leads, embracing the unpredictable journey of musical creation (via various AI technologies). I hope you'll join me on these voyages, as I never know quite where they might take us. Cheers!

Story behind the song
I wanted 'Names in Frost' to feel like a storm blowing in. It starts with that fragile piano the memory but quickly gets overtaken by the heavy distortion and double-kick energy that defines the weight of grief. It’s not just a sad song; it’s a heavy one. I leaned into the gothic metal influence to make sure the 'frost' wasn't just a metaphor, but something you could actually feel in the cold, mechanical bite of the guitars. Lyrics and concept by Ward C Locke. Music produced using Suno AI.
Lyrics
[intro solo] [Verse 1] Cold breath moves across the endless Through green and copper plains of time Ancient silence weighs upon the passage Where voices fade into the climb [Chorus] Wandering spirits navigate the stillness Ascending through the thinning air The distant star burns recognition Beyond the reach of warmth we share South of heaven's turning Ice descends the mountain stone Every flame retreats to memory Names carved in frost alone [Verse 2] A thousand years of frozen reverence Locked within the pale white dream Night falls gentle over nothing All that remains in silver gleam [Chorus] South of heaven's turning Ice descends the mountain stone Every flame retreats to memory Names carved in frost alone [solo] [Instrumental] (Ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh) [Chorus] South of heaven's turning Ice descends the mountain stone Every flame retreats to memory Names carved in frost alone [outro solo - intro solo reprise] [fade]
