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 to write something that spoke to that universal feeling of being at your breaking point when everyone around you feels like a ghost or an obstacle. But as the song progresses, it shifts from lashing out to looking up at the 'hand that pushed me'. It’s about the realization that the system writes the script that makes us assholes to each other. We’re all just 'trapped in the drain,' trying to find the heart in the middle of a black hole. Lyrics and concept by Ward C Locke. Music produced using Suno AI.
Lyrics
Eyes snap open to the LED glare Neighbors screaming through the walls at 3 a.m. The boss buys a yacht off my missed lunch breaks While I'm rationing insulin, paying rent with my tax refund Friends vanish when the check hits the table Family stops calling when I can't loan them cash Leaning on the horn in a dead-grid crawl Just another body running out the clock Tried to be kind, but the dividend is scorn Ingratitude's the only thing I've ever earned Everyone's an asshole! (Everyone's an asshole!) Lashing out blind in a desperate scream Guilty and broken, trapped in the dream! Everyone's an asshole! (Mirror don't lie!) Sleep-deprived wrecks under fluorescent light Malaise like a storm, fueling the fight Everyone's an asshole, ignite it, defy it! (Everyone's an asshole!) (We're all in the fire, no one survives alone!) Critics swarm the feed with surgical hate Tearing down the makers just to feel some weight We're tearing each other apart for scraps While billionaires play rocket ships and buy the throne Products turn poison, the art's just "content" Wage rage rising, rent ate the paycheck, insurance took the rest Wars feast on oil, greed floods the coast Everyone's starving, but we're eating our own Tried to forgive, tried to let it all be But the loudest are broken, and the broken is me Everyone's an asshole! (Everyone's an asshole!) Lashing out blind in a desperate scream Guilty and broken, trapped in the dream! Everyone's an asshole! (Mirror don't lie!) Planet's choking, love costs more than I make The kids inherit the debt and the coming quake Rage erupts in the checkout line I'm screaming at a clerk just to feel some spine And she's got the same dead eyes as me Same chains, different floor of the factory If everyone's a demon in your endless scroll Look closer... Wake to the loop, but the picture's clearer now Same box, same sour milk, but I see the locks We've been fighting each other for the scraps they left While they count their billions and rig the next bet The noise and the rot are someone's design I'm not the enemy, and neither are you We're ammunition in someone else's war Everyone's an asshole! (But who made us this way?) Lashing out blind, but now I see the chain Guilty and broken, but I know who to blame! Everyone's an asshole! (Mirror shows the truth!) Sleep-deprived wrecks under fluorescent light We've been swinging at shadows, time to find the height Everyone's an asshole, but the System writes the script! (Everyone's an asshole!) (And I'm done fighting ghosts for the ones on the ship!) Everyone's an asshole! (But whose game are we playing?) In the mirror's stare, I see the bars, I see the cage Yeah, everyone's an asshole when you're drowning in the rage Black-hole hunger, but I'm tracking down the source Everyone's an asshole... (And I became what I swore I'd never be) (But I see the hand that pushed me) We're all in the machine Let's name the engineers!
