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
Part of an upcoming concept album about the notorious Roman Kings. Lyrics and concept by Ward C Locke. Music produced using Suno AI.
Lyrics
He dons the stola, pearls upon his chest A living god-king putting Rome to test Mirror, mirror I'm the only god left Gold leaf on the tongue Mercury in the wine The sun is just another thing that's mine! MELT THE GOLD! POUR THE SUN DOWN MY THROAT! I'm a sinking ship but I'm the only boat! MASTICATE THE CURRENCY SWALLOW THE STATE I'm the mouth of Rome and Rome is what I ate! Make the stallion consul! Let the horse decide! If Incitatus won't vote then the Senate dies! I'm priest, I'm whore, I'm the law, I'm the ring Crown myself god, crown my sister a thing MELT THE GOLD! POUR THE SUN DOWN MY THROAT! I'm a sinking ship but I'm the only boat! MASTICATE THE CURRENCY SWALLOW THE STATE I'm the mouth of Rome and Rome is what I ate! Stab the surf... bind the waves... Call the legions to the beach Fill their helmets with the shells Neptune bows to what he cannot reach Still. Cold. Stone. Forty-one stabs in the dark, forty-one marks on the floor Busy living in the rise, busy dying in the war Kayreea's blade, Drusilla's shade I can still feel the sun...
