Scars That Shape the Soul

“Becoming Me” is a soul-baring journey of identity, healing, and hope. With gentle acoustic textures and heartfelt lyrics, Abigail Markley paints a vivid portrait of what it means to finally live as your true self. Inspired by the trans experience but universally resonant, this folk-rooted ballad invites listeners to slow down, reflect, and embrace their own story. Vulnerable, empowering, and deeply human—this is a song for anyone reclaiming their name, their voice, and their light. 🎼🎧🎶💖

“Becoming Me”

“You Make Me New” is about leaving the past behind, letting mercy and love rewrite your story, and finding freedom in grace. With explosive energy and triumphant hope, it celebrates the scars that have become your gold, the chains that are broken, and the life that’s just begun. If you need an anthem for new beginnings, let this one light your fire.

You Make Me New

The Color of Becoming traces the soul’s awakening as it journeys through the living spectrum of consciousness. Inspired by the subtle bodies and the chakra spiral, each verse gently paints a passage of transformation, earth to star, self to spirit.
This is not a song of arrival, but of unfolding—where every color is a stage of remembering, and every breath is a brushstroke on the path. It's the sound of stepping fully into being, one hue at a time.nA lyrical initiation. A prism turned inward.

Color of Becoming

A cosmic, uplifting song about the soul’s journey through life, birth, and beyond. Inspired by dreams of traveling through tunnels and becoming particles, this track explores the wonder of incarnation and the return to light in a playful and deeply resonant way. With poetic lyrics and a positive, expansive tone, it reframes the mystery of life and death as part of a continuous, sacred loop. A reminder that every transition—no matter how narrow—is just a door we walk through.

Just a Door We Walk Through

"Joy Without Permission" is a radiant, heartfelt song of liberation and self-remembrance. It emerges from the threshold between grief and becoming, capturing the moment when sorrow steps aside and joy returns—not as reward, but as birthright. With poetic verses and a rising melodic arc, the song gently but powerfully asserts the right to feel joy without external approval, timeline, or explanation.
Blending acoustic folk, ambient textures, and cinematic warmth, the music invites listeners into a space of quiet triumph, emotional clarity, and healing. This is a song for anyone reclaiming light after a long shadow—especially those who’ve carried the weight of silence and now choose to dance in the flame.

Joy Without Permission

An anthemic, emotionally charged opener that fuses soaring vocals with deep analog synth bass, wide stereo layers, and pounding drums. “Burn to Rise” is about resilience and transformation, turning every setback into fuel for the next chapter.

Burn to Rise

"Alchemy" is an unapologetically raw industrial rock track built on heavy, grinding textures and dark atmospheric layers. At its core, the song is about transformation—turning the “lead” of fear, ego, and trauma into the “gold” of wisdom, compassion, and true personal power. The track is currently an instrumental, waiting for a vocal line and lyrics that will carry its message of inner alchemy and evolution. Stark and metallic in its sound, yet threaded with a sense of hope, Alchemy captures the violent beauty of breaking down what no longer serves you and forging something stronger from the ashes. It may appear on a future album as part of a larger journey through human struggle, growth, and transcendence.

Personal growth: turn your “lead” (fear, ego, trauma) into “gold” (wisdom, compassion, skill).

In The Shadows of Darkness "They arrived when our faith was fading."

The Gift of Glass is a soaring rock journey celebrating one of humanity’s quiet miracles—sand transformed by fire into clarity, beauty, and strength. From the mystery of lightning-struck shores to the sacred colors of stained glass and the everyday wonder of jars, bottles, and windows, this song honors glass as both material and metaphor. With powerful verses, a repeatable chorus, and a dynamic blend of ethereal atmospheres and hard-driving riffs, the track carries both fragility and strength—like glass itself.

About My Music:
I create original, genre-blending music that fuses rock, classical, easy listening, and experimental styles. Each song is crafted with deep emotional honesty, often inspired by my own poetry, journal reflections, or personal stories. Whether instrumental or vocal, my focus is to uplift, inspire, and resonate with listeners on a real, human level.
I don’t settle for “good enough.” Every track goes through hundreds of iterations, shaped by a balance of intuition and precision. I use advanced AI music tools to explore sound and emotional tone, then refine everything in Logic Pro for professional production quality. It's a fusion of heart and technology, and through it, I aim to connect, heal, and inspire—one song at a time.

CYBER CHORD — campfire heart, circuit-board muse.

I write with AI as a co-writer and carve the lyrics by hand, then shape the tracks in Suno. Expect country roots, rock grit, and faith-bright pop.

This page is a quiet cabin—no generators, no door-to-door sales.

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.
