In a world long abandoned by humans, where the echoes of industry are buried beneath endless dunes, a lone robot awakens with a singular purpose: to find heavy metals in the wastelands. You are DETR-9 (short for "Desert Exploration & Treasure Retrieval Model 9"), a quirky, solar-powered bot with a heart of gold (figuratively, of course). Equipped with a half-functioning metal detector, a sardonic AI companion named SPARC, and a stubborn streak of curiosity, you must traverse the post-apocalyptic desert and piece together the mysteries of the world that came before.

OST for the game "Seas of the Past". (Release date TBD)

The music is trying combine the instrumentation of what we typically associate with Pirates, and islands, and throw a modern twist on it. We contorted the instrumentation to give it a ghost, modern, ambient spin.

Shadow's Grove is the capstone game project from my last 2 years in the music program at DigiPen. The game is an atmospheric, emotional journey about grief and letting go, centered around our two main characters, Astrid, and her wolf companion, Eri. It marks the culmination of all the composition and sound design classes I took over the 4 year degree, and is a collection harmony, melody, and mix that I'm really proud of! Hope you enjoy :)

The Expedition

Support the artists you love. Show it with follows, likes, and words. Feedback helps us grow. As creators and as people. Thanks for being part of the journey. Also dont bother me with spam & promotion talks. Because those kind of comments will be deleted. If you have anything to say at all, Just speak your mouth only about the music itself. Those comments are always appreciated of course.

The Creed of a Hybrid Producer:

I do not worship idols. I do not kneel to labels, trends, or marketing machines. Music is not a product to me. It is a language, a force, a living thing. A song does not need a famous face to justify its worth. If it resonates, if it stirs, moves, shakes, or scars the soul. Then it has done its job. I am a hybrid producer. I use every tool at my disposal. DAWs, AI, instruments, or simple silence. Because the method in how i create does not matter at all. Its the message behind that all that does. If you judge me for using AI, that is your limitation, not mine. The question is not how I made it. The question should be. Whether it moved you or not. If it does good. If it doesnt fine by me as well. Than its time for you to move on. I do not create for algorithms, radio stations, or playlists. I create because there is something inside me that must speak, and music is the clearest way I know how. No matter in what form or format. And I will not apologize for that. Not to those who fear new tools. Not to those who gatekeep what “real music” should sound like.
Not to those who measure worth in streams or dollars. Music belongs to everyone and no one. It is not controlled by those who sell it, and it does not need permission to exist in the first place. If my work moves you, good. If it challenges you, even better.But never forget. you are feeling something real, no matter how it was made.

Side Note:

For years, I stayed quiet. I built everything in my DAW, layer by layer, note by note. And kept my process to myself.
Not because I was ashamed of the music, but because I knew how fast people are to judge. Then AI came along.
And instead of running from it, I opened the door. I didn’t feel guilt, not for a second.
Because I know what music is supposed to sound like when it’s real. And it’s not about what tool you use.
It felt like a weight dropping off my shoulders, like stepping into the light and saying: “This is who I am. This is how I create. Take it or leave it.” Most artists still hide, still pretend. They fear the backlash. But I won’t. Because the truth is simple: I am a hybrid producer. I use every tool at my disposal. Not to cheat, but to dig deeper, reach further,
and make something that actually moves people. I create with intent, with soul, with everything I’ve got. And if that scares people, so be it. Because I’m done hiding. And I’m just getting started.

“I chose freedom over fame, soul over sales. And I wouldn’t trade that for all the money in the world.”
