Stuck On Repeat

Be anything

Be Anything

On several occasions, throughout various compositions of mine, I’ve emphasized how a melody or theme was based on something I wrote long ago, during my teenage years.
In this instance, the main theme is probably one of the very first things I ever composed—likely my first 'Eureka' moment, when I first gained some clarity about my musical gifts. Needless to say, this melody holds immense personal significance.
After all this time, I’ve finally decided to properly honor it by writing a set of variations.

Rediscovering "Ascension": A Lost Masterpiece from 1982

In the heart of Paris, during the vibrant musical era of the early 1980s, a group of avant-garde musicians gathered in a small, now-defunct studio. Among them was the enigmatic composer known as "Le Maître des Sons" (The Master of Sounds), whose identity remains shrouded in mystery. Together, they embarked on an ambitious project to fuse the sacred art of Gregorian chant with the cutting-edge technology of synthesizers and electronic music, creating a sound that was both ancient and futuristic.
"Ascension" is a transcendent track that transports listeners to a sacred space where ethereal vocals, sung in a constructed language inspired by Latin and Sanskrit, float like mist over a landscape of electronic pulses. Haunting melodies weave through the air like threads of light, while bells and mystery are woven into the fabric of the composition, creating an atmosphere that is both reverent and revolutionary. Its hypnotic rhythms and meditative qualities make it a perfect soundtrack for introspection and spiritual exploration.
Yet, due to creative differences and financial constraints, the project was abandoned, and the master tapes were left forgotten in the studio’s archives.
In 2024, a team of music archivists, while digitizing old recordings, uncovered a box of unlabeled tapes. Among them was a reel marked "Ascension – 1982". Through meticulous restoration, this lost gem was revived, revealing a composition that feels both timeless and groundbreaking.
'Ascension' offers a unique blend of ancient Gregorian chant traditions with modern electronic music, creating a soundscape that is both spiritual and innovative. It is a portal to a moment in music history where the past and future intertwined, inviting listeners to experience a journey of ascension through sound.
Immerse yourself in the mystical and sacred journey of "Ascension", where every note whispers secrets of the past and every melody beckons you to a realm of timeless beauty. Available now on Bandcamp, this is more than music — it is a discovery waiting to be experienced.

CINEMATIC and EPIC

When Earth Fell

This is about going back to my childhood years and having fond memories of growing up. When life was simple and carefree. This also relates to my teenage and early 20" s times when there was a time of exploring and having adventures.

Years Gone By

[Intro]
I turned off the noise, let the silence in
Stepped outside and let the real life begin

[Verse 1]
No more headlines shouting through my phone
No more scrolling while I sit alone
I found my smile in a puppy’s face
Chasing tails in the backyard space

[Chorus]
It’s the simple things that make me whole
Like a child’s laugh or a heart-felt goal
Not a screen or a stream, just love on display
Watching the world in a natural way
I feel alive, I feel so free
The simple things mean everything to me

[Verse 2]
We played old board games on the porch that night
Fireflies dancing in soft twilight
Kittens curled up on my open lap
Kids spinning stories, sharing snacks

[Chorus]
It’s the simple things that make me whole
Like a child’s laugh or a heart-felt goal
Not a screen or a stream, just love on display
Watching the world in a natural way
I feel alive, I feel so free
The simple things mean everything to me

[Bridge]
Now I see the blessings in the mess
The messy joy, the sweet unrest
The little hands, the muddy feet
They bring me joy no post could beat

[Chorus]
It’s the simple things that make me whole
Like a child’s laugh or a heart-felt goal
Not a screen or a stream, just love on display
Watching the world in a natural way
I feel alive, I feel so free
The simple things mean everything to me

[Outro]
So I’ll stay here where the real things grow
With wagging tails and hearts that glow
Turn off the noise, and just be me
In the moment, wild and free
