Performer by Corrine Byrne, soprano, and Andy Kozar, trumpet.  January 29, 2025 at the Jewish Museum of South Florida as part of the 2025 New Music Miami Festival

“But am I who I was” is based upon Don DeLillo’s novel Zero K, specifically the “Artis Martineau” section that is told from the perspective of a narrator who is in cryogenic suspension. To prepare the text for the work I trained multiple machine learning algorithms with the text from this section of the novel. I then used these algorithms to create a text that presents the narrator’s thoughts first forming unintelligible single words and sentence fragments, to progressively forming intelligible sentences and phrases, before again becoming progressively unintelligible. To best present this process, I greatly restricted the musical materials and their relationships so that the listener can better experience the linguistic processes and their relationships to the sonic and musical materials. 

I wrote “But am I who I was” for the Byrne:Kozar:Duo and, as such, dedicate it to both Corrine and Andy.

"But am I who I was" for soprano, trumpet, and electronics

This song was written during COVID when we were all in lockdown. It was about a couple who just started dating but had to do only facetime and whatsapp to connect with each other.  I added the bhangra sound because I like that style of music.  This version was written for my friend Justin Maki, a very talented young man hailing out of London, St thomas area of Canada.

Kehanet is a lyrical prophecy about what happens when love is dismissed. It speaks of a slow unraveling—flowers withering, bodies exposed, fate sealing itself on cold asphalt.

This track is the echo of that answer

Kehanet

"Taking Turns" is a heartfelt indie folk ballad that explores the beautiful reciprocity of true friendship. The song tells the story of two friends navigating life's challenges together - one offering comfort during heartbreak while the other provides strength through family crisis and financial hardship.
Starting with intimate acoustic guitar and tender vocals, the track gradually builds into soaring harmonies that represent the power of mutual support. The central metaphor of "holding up the sky" captures how we can be each other's foundation when the world feels like it's falling apart.
Unlike traditional songs about one-sided support, "Taking Turns" celebrates the ebb and flow of giving and receiving care. It acknowledges that everyone has moments of weakness and strength, and that the most meaningful relationships are built on this natural exchange of support.
The musical arrangement mirrors the emotional journey - beginning with vulnerable solo vocals, growing into rich harmonies as both voices join together, and ending with a peaceful outro that reflects the comfort found in lasting friendship. Perfect for anyone who has ever been both the helper and the helped, this song is a gentle reminder that we're stronger together than we could ever be alone.

[Verse 1 Vocal A]
I see you staring at your phone again
Waiting for a call that'll never come
Three months now since they walked away
But you're still hoping they'll come back someday
Let me be your steady ground tonight
When the tears fall, I'll hold you tight

[Chorus Both Vocals]
We take turns holding up the sky
When your world falls, I'll be your ground
When mine shakes, you won't let me drown
Sometimes you're strong, sometimes it's me
That's how love's supposed to be
We take turns, we take turns
Holding up the sky

[Verse 2 Vocal B]
Now I see you staring at the bills
Wondering how you'll make it through the month
Mom's treatment costs are piling high
And you're too proud to let me see you cry
But I know that look behind your eyes
Let me be your strength tonight

[Chorus Both Vocals]
We take turns holding up the sky
When your world falls, I'll be your ground
When mine shakes, you won't let me drown
Sometimes you're strong, sometimes it's me
That's how love's supposed to be
We take turns, we take turns
Holding up the sky

[Bridge  both Vocals Harmonizing]
When you can't see tomorrow
I'll light the way for you
When I'm lost in sorrow
You pull me through
We're stronger together
Than we'll ever be apart
Two broken pieces
Making one whole heart

[Final Chorus  both Vocals Full harmony]
We take turns holding up the sky
When your world falls, I'll be your ground
When mine shakes, you won't let me drown
Sometimes you're strong, sometimes it's me
That's how love's supposed to be
We take turns, we take turns
We take turns, we take turns
Holding up the sky

[Outro both Vocals]
So when the morning comes around
And the world feels safe and sound
We'll remember how we made it through
Me leaning on you, you leaning on me too
Just two friends who learned to fly
Taking turns to hold the sky
We take turns, we take turns
We take turns
Holding up the sky

Taking Turns

A poignant and introspective pop ballad exploring the haunting experience of memory loss—both from early childhood and across key chapters of life. The lyrics gently weave in themes of adoption, ADHD, emotional trauma, and the ironic search for past lives when this one feels like a blur. It’s a song about dissociation, survival, and quiet resilience, told with honesty and compassion. Despite the fog, there’s warmth, healing, and a sense that even forgotten moments have meaning.

“When I See You” is a powerful worship ballad about hope, redemption, and the peace that comes in the presence of God. Written from the perspective of a soul walking through darkness into divine light, it captures the moment when fear disappears, and love leads us home. With heartfelt lyrics and a chorus that declares freedom and truth, this song is for anyone who’s searching, healing, or simply holding on.

When I See You

“Memories” is a cinematic love song about distance, time, and the promise that love won’t burn away. It lives in that space between lonely nights and warmer ones—replaying summer skies, whispered conversations, and the look on a lover’s face—until reunion finally arrives.

Built on intimate vocals, piano and wide, atmospheric pads/strings, it swells into an uplifting chorus that wears its heart on its sleeve. If you’ve ever had to leave and hoped the feeling would survive the miles, this one’s for you.

MEMORIES

[Verse 1]
So I'm here again
A lonely night
Only yesterday you were in my arms and you held me tight
But now you've gone
So far away
I recall the tears and a look of love upon your face
It was never meant to be
This time
But maybe someday

[Chorus]
I've been living in memories
Warmer nights
Will I hold you in my arms again
To see your face I'd give anything
Such memories
A lonely pain
I count the days till you return
I swear to God this love won't burn away

[Verse 2]
I remember (do you remember)
A conversation (conversations)
Those summer nights and stars shining bright
You and I alone (alone)
But I had to fly (say goodbye)
I never thought I'd see your face again
But now I've found you
My feelings haven't changed
And you say you feel the same

[Chorus]
Well I've been living in memories (such memories)
Warmer nights (too many cold nights)
Now I'll hold you in my arms again
I see your face it means everything
Such memories (when you held me tight)
A lonely pain (when you're out of sight)
I counted days till you returned
I swear to God my love won't burn away

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
My love wont burn away
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

[Outro Chorus]
Well I've been living in memories (such memories)
Warmer nights (too many cold nights)
Now I'll hold you in my arms again
I see your face it means everything
Such memories (when you held me tight)
A lonely pain (when you're out of sight)
I counted the days till you returned
I swear to God my love won't burn away

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
My love wont burn away
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Memories (2025 NuSound AI Remix)

Separation

“Cold Rain” is a timeless, chantable anthem of heartbreak and release. Built around a mantra-like hook, the rain becomes both symbol and salve — washing away pain, carrying memories, and leaving hope that someday the sun will shine. With elemental imagery, singable repetition, and a soulful baritone delivery, the track crosses pop, soft rock, and adult contemporary spaces. Perfect for late-night playlists, heartbreak healing, and collective sing-alongs.

Cold Rain

“Only Yours” is a devotion-on-tour power ballad: backstage work lights, taped setlists, motel ice hum, and the kitchen lamp that waits at home. Built as an arena song with a modern lift, it keeps the vow simple and human: “Only yours—every mile, every night.”

Only Yours

Back on My Feet Again

A modern lament told by a father’s voice—from porch light to protest chant. Sparse, human, and unflinching, “Bitter Harvest” moves from private grief to public resolve, asking what we’ll do when the headlines fade.

Bitter Harvest

A spare, late-night ballad about dignified goodbye—domestic details, a generous chorus, and a memory-glitch tag that lingers like rain on glass.

Leave the Light

“Mercy New” is a modern hymn of hope, weaving scripture into song. From the anxious dark to the break of dawn, it carries the worshiper through sorrow into resurrection joy. With its soaring chorus and powerful call-and-response bridge, it is crafted for both intimate devotion and corporate worship. Inspired by Lamentations 3:22–23: “His mercies are new every morning.”

About

I’m Dean R. Chandler — a London based songwriter, recording artist, and storyteller. My music is rooted in a lifelong search for meaning, weaving together themes of love, loss, faith, alien contact, and humanity’s future.

My upcoming double concept album Human Odyssey (set for release in January 2027) is the culmination of decades of writing and reflection. It’s a narrative journey that begins with a search for God and ends with an encounter with extraterrestrial intelligence — exploring not only what it means to be human, but also where we might be heading as a species. Musically, it draws inspiration from the epic storytelling of Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds, the synth-driven edge of Gary Numan, and the emotional depth of artists like Tori Amos and Chris de Burgh.

I previously released Time Machine – Reflecting Shattered Dreams (2014) and continue to revisit my archive of songs written across 35 years, reimagining them with today’s tools and sounds. Some pieces remain intimate and acoustic, while others expand into dark rock, industrial, or orchestral landscapes — but all are connected by a focus on emotional honesty and cinematic storytelling.

Beyond music, I’m fascinated by the intersection of creativity and technology. I’ve been experimenting with AI-driven composition and production to bring old demos to life and to spark entirely new works. For me, these tools are not replacements for human artistry but extensions of it — ways of unlocking stories and emotions that otherwise might have remained hidden.

At its heart, my work is about connection: to the past, to the future, and to the unseen mysteries of existence. Music, for me, isn’t just entertainment — it’s a chronicle of transformation, a conversation between spirit, science, and sound.
