 Song Description: “Diesel Hearts and Maple Skies” Genre Fusion: Electronic Country / Christian EDM / Road Ballad

This track is a high-octane love letter to the open road and the woman who makes every mile worth it. Blending the grit of country storytelling with the shimmer and pulse of electronic production, “Diesel Hearts and Maple Skies” rides the emotional highway between spiritual devotion and raw human longing.

 Sound Design Highlights:

Vocals are drenched in formant-shifted shimmer and granular delay, echoing like prayers whispered through diesel fumes.

Bass synths throb with FM warmth and mid growl, giving emotional weight to every drop.

Drums fuse transient-shaped kicks with glitch-stuttered hi-hats, mimicking the rhythm of a restless heart and the chaos of long-haul life.

Atmospheric FX—from spectral pads to field recordings of truck engines and church bells—create a cinematic backdrop for the journey.

 Lyrical Themes:

A trucker’s spiritual reckoning on the road

The red Volvo as a symbol of grit, grace, and devotion

Love as a divine anchor through distance, exhaustion, and existential dread

“Diesel hearts” as metaphor for rugged resilience; “maple skies” for fleeting beauty and emotional clarity

 Vibe: Imagine Johnny Cash riding shotgun with a synth angel. It’s country soul dipped in digital gold—where heartbreak meets heavenly reverb, and every chorus feels like a sunrise over asphalt.



Diesel Hearts and Maple Skies

Maroon 5 - Secret & Oud (Orient) Cover (by Ersin Ersavas)

In the Garden is the third, and most recent, compilation of tracks created between March and December 2015.  
This collection is an exploration into the concepts of love, loss, and longing through sounds both recorded and computerized. Being a rather personal topic, the tracks vary from minimal sounds to cascades of instruments to express the feelings of doubt, anxiety, confusion, madness, and eventually, peace.

**The works have been created and recorded using basic Garageband tools, a built-in microphone, and a tea cup.
