Runtime Ghosts is a darkwave journey into the haunted machinery of modern existence. Each track embodies a fragment of the digital self — processes that never end, loops that can’t escape, errors that refuse to resolve. From the spectral echoes of Runtime Ghost to the fractured overload of Cognitive Collapse, the album explores identity loss, exhaustion, and the invisible ghosts that linger in code and memory.

Driven by glitching synths, heavy basslines, and melancholic atmospheres, Runtime Ghosts is both intimate and industrial — a soundtrack for those who’ve stared too long at the terminal and found themselves reflected in its void.

Runtime Ghosts

Terminal Pulse

console love()

Push to Prod

Legacy Code

Null Pointer Dreams

To be trapped in an ecosystem of broken libraries, failing builds, and the illusion of control — like living in an eternal loop of npm install.

Dependency Hell

Where memory dies and no logs can save you — a ritual answered only by silent failure.

Segfault Prayers

Loss of self in a system where existence is defined by code, dependencies, and uptime.

404/Self Not Found

You inherit the technology — and the curse — from the generations before you.

Heir of the Broken Branch

The promise of automation becomes your straitjacket.

CI CD Crushed Internally Cursed Daily

Cognitive collapse. Too much input. Too many tabs. A brain stuck in an infinite loop.

Stack Overflowed Mind

The Merge Conflict Within I

The Compile Abyss

A melancholic reflection on digital afterlife — where a developer’s presence lingers in code, commits, and forgotten frameworks. Even after leaving, they remain: an invisible force haunting the runtime.

A dark loop of emotional recursion. The developer is stuck in an infinite mental cycle — no timeout, no exit, just quiet repetition of burnout and helplessness.
Logic traps emotion. There is no break.

Runtime Ghost

while (true) {cry();

A poetic shutdown. The developer chooses to disappear quietly into the system, leaving behind no error, no log, no noise — only a paused thread and an empty call stack.
An emotional resignation disguised as a clean exit.

Thread.Sleep(Forever)

A brutal refactor of the self — cutting away even the parts once loved. No gentle shutdowns, no nostalgia, only the cold efficiency of forced termination. Creativity and sentiment are sacrificed for speed, leaving nothing but an empty, optimized void.

Running Ghosts

Sigkill my darlings

A lonely call into the void. Each unanswered ping is a reminder of severed connections and forgotten bonds. The silence is absolute, the timeout infinite — yet the signal keeps being sent, driven by habit, hope, or desperation.

Ping With No Response

A ghost in the database — erased in appearance but still existing beneath the surface. Hidden rows, forgotten cleanup jobs, and an identity trapped between absence and presence.

Soft Delete

"Echo $ME” is a song about identity loss in the digital world. The voice is reduced to a command in the terminal — a self-repetition that never yields a new answer, only a reflection of emptiness

Echo $ME

“Garbage Collection / Soul Edition” is a song about being erased piece by piece — like memory reclaimed by a machine. It explores the melancholy of losing fragments of yourself, compacted and swept away, yet leaving behind a ghostly residue that no system can clear.”

Garbage Collection / Soul Edition

The Merge Conflict Within” explores the inner fracture between ideals and reality — the struggle of balancing perfection and pragmatism, creativity and compromise. It is a haunting metaphor for self-division, where two versions of the self can never fully resolve.

The Merge Conflict Within II

Cognitive Collapse” captures the breakdown of a mind under overload — too many inputs, too many tabs, thoughts looping endlessly until the system crashes. It’s a portrait of mental exhaustion in a digital age

Cognitive Collapse

Core Dump Elegy” is a mourning hymn for lost memories and broken connections. It portrays the crash of both code and emotion, where fragments of love remain scattered like corrupted data. The song reflects on grief as something stored but never retrieved, a haunting presence lingering in the void.

Segmentation Faults & Broken Hearts

Core Dump Elegy

orbidden Opcode” tells the story of a love that could never execute without crashing. It’s a metaphor for relationships that feel like illegal instructions — every attempt to connect leads to failure, every touch breaks the system. Dark, mechanical, and fatal, it’s the soundtrack of a heart running on impossible code.

Forbidden Opcode

"Kernel Panic Lullaby” is a haunting cradle song from a broken system. It embodies sleepless nights, frozen processes, and the eerie comfort of static noise — a lullaby that never soothes, only crashes.
