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
"Spinning in My Sleep" is about the explosion of the mind once you finally drift off. I wanted to capture that specific kind of exhaustion that feels like high-speed motion where the walls lean in and the ground feels like broken glass. This song is about the 'red stripe shadow' across the line and the feeling of being dragged through the bend where the pressure meets. It’s a track about the struggle to find something solid to hold onto when everything from the mountains to the faces you love starts to slip through your hands like sand. Lyrics and concept by Ward C Locke. Music produced using Suno AI.
Lyrics
Shhh the clock drifts sideways Listen Time folds The shadows breathe I saw the moon split into silver gears Time unwound itself across the years Rivers of brass ran uphill in streams Clouds rained mirrors, fracturing my dreams I walked on shadows, liquid and wide The sky pressed down, I could not hide I tried to shout but words dissolved Feet stuck to patterns I never solved Everything shifted - nothing stayed All I knew melted, and all I feared played Ooooooh I’m spinning in my sleep Falling where the edges curl and creep Nothing’s real, but it cuts so deep Ooooooh I’m spinning in my sleep Ooooooh spinning in my sleep A neon tiger bowed across the stars Its stripes like lightning, its eyes like scars Mountains waltzed and oceans ran dry I chased a comet with a fire in my eye Faces I loved crumbled into sand Slipped through my fingers like time’s own hand Walls bend inward, breathing slow Floor dissolves to velvet glow Logic cracks, reason peels to lace The universe laughs in empty space Ooooooh I’m spinning in my sleep Falling where the edges curl and creep Nothing’s real, but it cuts so deep Ooooooh I’m spinning in my sleep Ooooooh spinning in my sleep Tickshock Moon melts into the clock Sand turns liquid, rocks float Unlock unlock unlock Ooooooh still spinning in my sleep Drifting where the dream and dreamer meet Nothing’s real but I’m finally free Ooooooh spinning in my sleep Ooooooh spinning in my sleep Wake up Or stay inside the clock Tick tock Tick tock Tick tock Tick tock
