Might of the Mind

melodic rock jam Collab, in house mastering.

Timeless Current

This song started during the pandemic. I was wanting an ascending and descending type riff and after some noodling the main melody came to me. Things fell into place from there. I felt like a trap beat would be a great intro and the idea of adding some nylon guitar led to aimlessly throwing in all the latin elements. Throw in a guitar part that made me punch the air while recording and well, that was pretty much the main layout done. Pretty happy with how it all turned out and I hope some of you enjoy!

Demos

Elision Machine

Drop D metal song that sounds heavier than the tuning would suggest. Compound meter riffs and slightly odd timing that you can still bop along.

Aimlessly (In Production) (METAL)

I wrote this song after a bad breakup.  It mixes 808 drums and heavy guitar riffs.  ACDC meets Dr. Dre.

Rough draft of a song that kind of came to me while i was watching some pedo hunters. Love you skeet.

Found an old one

Been patiently waiting
I been stackin my reishi
In my backpack pack is Tracy
See dat chalk he gon trace it
Aint no good in no gracious
So much woods in my faces
Im so close I can taste it
All y'all bitches gon taste me
Yea lil bitch you gon taste it
Im a acquired taste, yo last boi was a pastry
I just walked in the spot, they like how he get the gatekey
So much service in dis bihh dey call it the hotspot
now its my spot
I take his cheese wit barehand aint no crockpot
Hot lil boi bet not touch dat
Im gettin picky bout them bitches that's touching me
Im cooking shit up I am skilled with the cutlery
Im up in her crib im disguised as the butler
but wen she see dis switch she gon think im the plumber
make it rain from sky mane I luv how they runneth
Put some stars in my ship now u im top gunner
When I spit on this beat I look sum like a llama
All that shit that u packing that shit don't alarm us
Dis D 2 gud 4 yo J dont start no drama
The bankroller start stuttering wen she seen all them commas
Finna spend di bihh back like sum comets
Yo head shaped like a rhombus 
smokin the pack from arujo
I get it gon jus like Pujos
bet not say shit to my new ho
Why can't I have nothing?

If I paint the city red, will u start rubbing me?
Luvin me?
The FN turn him huckleberry finn
Throw a light on the gin
aim it at his chin
Ima shoot for the win
In 9th grade I had a kobe fade 
Catch his lacking like obj
with them black forces like obi wan
no u can't hold u sum
Just popped the seal and I chose me one
u can go chew u one

"Seattle Gray" - Track 8 from "Echoes of a Life"

A folk ballad with grunge undertones that captures a brief but profound chapter in the Pacific Northwest. Set against the backdrop of Mount Rainier and Puget Sound, this track weaves together the stark contrasts of Seattle life - from perfect, screen-less summer nights to the heavy gray of winter depression. Through Microsoft aspirations, shared struggles with a cousin, and another lesson in love, the song traces the path from hope to the inevitable pull of California's sun.

Featuring layered guitars in Drop D tuning, rain-like arpeggios, and ethereal electric textures beneath traditional folk foundations, the arrangement pays homage to Seattle's iconic sound while maintaining an intimate storytelling approach. The song builds from contemplative verses to grunge-influenced swells, mirroring the region's dramatic natural beauty and emotional weather.

Seattle Gray

Last summer I had a bit more time to play my guitar. So busy with kids now. This is a short random improv. I make up stuff as I go along. Terrible quality as recorded on mobile and the amp is a tiny NUS Mighty Lite. I am very rusty on guitar these days but I hope to come back to guitar in the future as kids grow up:)

Xak Stahl: Alchemist of Sound, Architect of Emotion

Xak Stahl is a genre-blurring music artist, sonic storyteller, and relentless experimenter. Every track he creates is a new world—a kaleidoscope of indie folk, alt-pop, electronica, and global flavors—infused with raw emotion and boundless curiosity. Xak’s music isn’t just heard; it’s felt.

From Shadow to Spotlight

For Xak, music is metamorphosis. His journey began in the shadows, transmuting heartbreak and struggle into songs that glow with hope. Early anthems like “Neon Dreams” and “Rising Through the Darkness” invite listeners to find their own light. His newest project, Major Arcana, channels the mysteries of the Tarot—each song an archetype, each lyric a step along the path from the Fool’s first leap to the wisdom of The World.

More Than Music: A Multisensory Universe

But Xak isn’t confined to sound. As a visual artist and writer, he crafts immersive stories that spill across genres and languages—sometimes haunting, sometimes playful, always honest. Whether he’s conjuring lush soundscapes, weaving bilingual lyrics, or creating striking visuals, Xak’s art dares you to feel deeper and dream wilder.

An Invitation to Transformation

Join Xak Stahl on a sonic odyssey that blurs borders—between genres, between artforms, between you and the music. Each release is an invitation to explore, to heal, to become. For Xak, every song is a spell, every album a universe. The only question is: are you ready to step inside?

I am the queen of the Bandhar provence of Somalia I am musician at day pirate leader at night

Like many others, I have a deep love for music. Travelling inspires me, filling my songs with new sensations and feelings. My sons support my musical journey, which has become my way of communicating and expressing my inner world. Along the way, I've had the privilege of meeting incredible people, including music arrangers, cinematographers, and recording studio professionals, who have enriched my musical experience. I draw inspiration from life, the people I meet, and from her—my one true love.

Formerly an anesthesiologist and ICU doctor with over 15 years of clinical experience, I transitioned to international work. I have been profoundly impacted by many local and global emergencies and humanitarian crises. I aim to share my life experiences and deep feelings with people through songwriting. I hope you enjoy listening to my soul expressed in music.

Hi Soundcloud friends, this is just a quick update.

I’ve got a lot going on right now, so I’m taking a step back from SoundCloud for a bit. I’ll have less than an hour a day for music(including social media time), so I’ll be focusing what little time I have on creating and uploading. I’m still hoping monetization this year can help cover my Artist Pro subscription for next year.

It hurts to step back because I’ve loved being part of this community. It was awesome connecting with so many amazing people and listening to your music. If you DM me, I’ll reply when I can, but it might take a while. I’ll feel guilty not being able to check out your tracks like before, but for now, I have no choice.

Thanks for understanding ❤️
