" CHAINS "

didn’t get the invite?
cool.
they’re the ones missing out 🐍💅🏽

cold-blooded is a reminder that you’re not uncool just ‘cause someone else is cold 🍃

Cold Blooded is a power pop/indie pop anthem that came out of a moment that felt both ridiculous and real. I had a writing session the same day as a party I wasn’t invited to—thrown by people I once considered friends. I’d known about it for a while, but when the day actually came, it still stung. Instead of spiraling, I brought that energy into the studio, and the song poured out with my co-writers.

Produced by Nico Lapitino, the track is built on gritty, chugging guitars and layered with atmospheric textures. Cold Blooded balances punchy pop-rock energy with space to feel—it captures that blend of empowerment and vulnerability, feeling hurt but choosing to own it with confidence and bite.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever been iced out, betrayed, or underestimated—and came back stronger. A reminder that your time, presence, and loyalty are valuable. And anyone who doesn’t see that? Their loss.

Cold Blooded

Woman in Blue

All I Have (Acoustic Sessions)

Over and Over Again (Acoustic)

My creation combines elements of electronic, classical, folk, world, and country music. It transports us into a soundscape. The emotional impact evokes nostalgia. The overall atmosphere is relaxed, laid-back, and energetic. This music is very emotional in nature, exploring several themes of disappointment.

I would like to take you on a journey through your reading. Thank you all.

The Walls Talk

Underground Railroad (2025) 

A whisper becomes a weapon. A breath becomes a promise.

This song is a sonic patchwork of resistance, stitching together the threads of a modern human crisis with the ancient rhythms of this land. Imagine the determined pulse of Powwow Drums meeting the defiant groove of Latin Rock, while the cry of a Native American Flute echoes over driving Folk-Rock guitars.

It's the sound of communities operating in shadows, building a new "Underground Railroad" not with physical tracks, but with coded messages, hidden rooms, and unbreakable solidarity. It's a duet between fear and courage, sung in whispers and shouted in anthemic choruses.

They can build machines of fear, but they cannot control the ghosts within them. We are here. We are together. And we disappear.

Underground Railroad (2025)

Ein Flüstern wird zur Waffe. Ein Atemzug wird zum Versprechen.

Dieser Song ist ein klanglicher Flickenteppich des Widerstands. Er verbindet die Fäden einer modernen humanitären Krise mit den uralten Rhythmen dieses Landes. Stell dir den entschlossenen Puls von Powwow-Trommeln vor, der auf den trotzigen Groove von Latin Rock trifft, während der Ruf einer Native American Flute über treibenden Folk-Rock-Gitarren widerhallt.

Es ist der Sound von Gemeinschaften, die im Verborgenen agieren und eine neue "Underground Railroad" bauen – nicht aus Schienen, sondern aus codierten Nachrichten, versteckten Zimmern und unzerbrechlicher Solidarität. Es ist ein Duett zwischen Angst und Mut, geflüstert in Versen und herausgeschrieen in hymnischen Chorälen.

Sie mögen Maschinen der Angst bauen, aber sie können nicht die Geister in ihnen kontrollieren. Wir sind hier. Wir sind zusammen. Und wir verschwinden.

Underground Railroad

Ooh he kept me running outta money
Bust and beat, the boy a greedy little honey
Ooh but now I’m back up on my feet again
Hide if you ever see him coming
Burning rubber, yeah I’m gonna keep running
Don’t wanna ever go back to anywhere I’ve been

I ain’t falling for you again
My, my
Falling for you again
My, my baby
My, my baby

I ain’t calling on you again
Bye-bye
Calling on you again
Bye-bye, maybe
Bye-bye maybe

No I don’t wanna do that again, no
Ain’t going back to the past
Ain’t gonna ever find a way to make the love in me last
No the lovin’ won’t last
No I don’t wanna do that again, no
The boy don’t wanna be nice
I got over him once
Now I don’t wanna break twice
No I don’t wanna break twice

I ain’t falling for you again
My, my
Falling for you again
My, my baby
My, my baby

I ain’t calling on you again
Bye-bye
Calling on you again
Bye-bye, maybe
Bye-bye maybe

Move out of my way
I’ve had enough of the madness
I played enough of your games
Don’t mind me walking away
Yeah get outta my way
Don’t have a heart for the sadness
I’m tired of fighting the pain
I won’t be living that way

I ain’t falling for you again
My, my
Falling for you again
My, my baby
My, my baby

I ain’t calling on you again
Bye-bye
Calling on you again
Bye-bye, maybe
Bye-bye maybe

Ooh, he kept me running outta money
Bust and beat, the boy a greedy little honey
Ooh, but now I’m back up on my feet again
Hide me if you ever see him coming
Burning rubber, yeah I’m gonna keep running
Don’t wanna ever go back to anywhere I’ve been

GREEDY

A sensual and introspective ballad, the vocals and guitars are free to express never-ending rock feelings. Listening to it transports us back to the '60s with psychedelic sounds and lyrics.

IN THE WOOD NEXT TO ME

Blues-rock song about talking to someone who’s long gone — replaying old conversations and trying to move on, but still stuck in that loop of what you wish you’d said.

[Verse 1]
Lights are low, and the coffee’s cold,
Another night getting old.
Your ghost still walks these wooden floors,
Even though you don’t call no more.
I rehearse what I’d say if you came around,
But all I do is speak out loud...

[Chorus]
Talking to myself again,
Like you’re still on the other end.
Words I never said out loud,
Fill an empty room somehow.
I should move on, but I pretend—
Yeah, I’m talking to myself again.

[Verse 2]
Your sweater’s still on the second chair,
Guess I leave it there on a dare.
Tried dating once, didn’t last,
She smiled like you—but that passed.
Told her stories I meant for you,
Didn’t feel right, but I played it through.

[Chorus]
Talking to myself again,
Caught in a loop I can’t defend.
The jokes you’d laugh at fall flat now,
But I still say them out loud.
Guess I’m not ready to hit “The End”—
So I’m talking to myself again.

[Bridge]
Maybe someday I’ll get it right,
Quit chasing shadows in the night.
But until I do, I’ll stay right here—
Whispering words you’ll never hear...

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
Talking to myself again,
Trying to find out where I’ve been.
Your name still fits between my lines,
Like a song I lost in time.
If silence is how this has to end,
I’ll just keep talking to myself... again.

[Outro]
Yeah, I’m talking...
Still talking to myself again.

Talking To Myself Again

This song is about letting go of the past and finally feeling free. The song’s about finding peace after saying goodbye—when the noise fades, and you can finally breathe again.

[Verse 1]
I stood where silence used to stay
The breeze just carried it away
No signs to read, no reason why
It feels so good to say goodbye

[Chorus]
Just a trace of nothing here
No more weight and no more tears
Empty space, open skies
I’m alive — and I know why

[Verse 2]
No tangled words, no lines to bend
Just clean air and a quiet end
Used to chase what wasn’t real
Now I just feel what I feel

[Chorus]
Just a trace of nothing here
No more weight and no more tears
Empty space, open skies
I’m alive — and I know why

[Bridge]
No looking back, no need to stay
I’ve got the sun, a brand new day

[Final Chorus]
Just a trace of nothing left
And I can breathe with every step
Empty space, open skies
I’m alive — and I know why

Trace of Nothing

Hanuš is a holistic collection of remembrance and reflection of my late friends John and Jacob, both of which are the names of the main characters in the film Spaceman which coincidentally became a deep inspiration while writing, recording and forming its concept. The overall theme of the Dreone project (as some may already know from Driftdown Procedure) is that the souls and spirit of my fallen companions live within the systems of a sentient spacecraft and its humanoid manifestation/android, the notion of which allows me the mental freedom to explore the cosmos through music and be a bit more experimental with my sound. This album in particular is about them traveling together through the echoes of memories and the loneliness of space to witness the beginning and end of everything, leading the listener to acceptance through catharsis. 

Gear used on this album includes, Arturia Mini and Microfreak, Arturia Pigments, Tascam 414 MKII tape loops, Luftrum Bioscape, ESP LTD MH-400 B Baritone guitar, Collision Devices Blackhole Symmetry, and Bitwig.
