Single RoyRoy Genkins
How to Hide
A modern country road song shaped by a real Highway 88 trip through the Sierra Nevada, exploring solitude, freedom, and what it means to feel connected to a place.
Single RoyRoy Genkins
I Just Needed to Be Here
A day in the Sierra Nevada begins with roadwork, lost daylight, and a head full of decisions. Somewhere between the cedar trees, mountain sage, silence, and a long mountain road, the need for answers starts to fade.
Single Sivra Dark
Scales of Perspective
A dark, forceful examination of how two people can experience the same danger, wound, fear, or choice and measure it completely differently.
Single RoyRoy Genkins
Driving into the Sunrise
A narrative Americana country song about leaving before dawn, driving into the Sierra Nevada, and finding far more in the morning than expected.
Single Nebula's Pulse
Ghost Position
A quiet cinematic Nebula's Pulse chapter about an absence inside an otherwise precise fleet, and the way an empty place can slowly acquire meaning of its own.
Single Corra's Light
All Around the Light
A soft Christian rock reworking of an older song, All Around the Light turns a sunlit moment of spiritual wonder into a more explicitly faith-centered reflection on grace, God's presence, peace, and the quiet certainty of being held.
Single Corra's Light
Grace Enough for Tonight
A soft contemporary worship ballad about finding enough grace and peace for the present moment when the future feels uncertain, the burden feels heavy, and there are no easy answers.
Single Nebula's Pulse
Voyager Protocol
A cinematic Nebula's Pulse chapter about reviving simpler signal methods after advanced systems fail, and finding the first faint path back through the interference.
Single RoyRoy Genkins
Becoming Real
A reflective RoyRoy Genkins folk-country release inspired by a late-spring Sierra Nevada drive into unexpected snow and the realization that a quieter, more grounded way of living has become normal.
Single RoyRoy Genkins
Space to Breath
A reflective RoyRoy Genkins song about stepping away from the noise and finding enough room to breathe again.
Single RoyRoy Genkins
Confluence
Two Sierra trips, harder memories, and a quiet remembrance of Brian flow together in a reflective country and Americana song about reaching calmer water, recognizing what shaped the journey, and feeling grateful for where life has landed.
Single RoyRoy Genkins
The Same Second
A reflective companion to Gold Underneath, looking back at the exact moment behind that song and what it came to mean in the life that followed.
Single RoyRoy Genkins
Peace on the Other Side
A reflective RoyRoy Genkins song born beside the Silver Fork of the American River, where rushing water, a wildfire scar, and an unusual tree turn a restless day into a meditation on resilience and moving forward.
Single RoyRoy Genkins
Beneath the Same Sky
A reflective RoyRoy Genkins song about technology, shared humanity, and choosing connection when the noise around us keeps pulling people apart.
Single RoyRoy Genkins
The Original Blueprint
A reflective RoyRoy Genkins song about authenticity, human creation, fatherhood, and the deeper reality that remains beneath the appearances we construct.
Single RoyRoy Genkins
Gold Underneath
A RoyRoy Genkins song inspired by a vivid early-morning dream in which ominous mountain clouds transformed into radiant gold and released thousands of angelic beings.
Single Nebula's Pulse
The Nearer Promise
A cinematic Nebula's Pulse chapter where humanity leaves Asha's Bearing to investigate a promising nearby world, only to discover that the ancient material performs differently when the fleet moves out of alignment.
Single Sivra Dark
Where the Earth Breathes
A story-driven heavy metal song that follows an imagined ancient traveler discovering geothermal warmth in the northern cold, then traces that simple human experience forward through centuries of bathing, survival, culture, and modern comfort.
Single Zed Wishless
Closing the Distance
A Zed Wishless song about refusing to let complacency create distance in the relationships that matter, and choosing honesty, grace, and empathy instead.
Single RoyRoy Genkins
Is It the Truth?
I wrote this as a reflection on service, gratitude, and the kind of real human connection that only happens when people keep showing up. It began with my own Rotary history, but I deliberately widened it into a song about community itself.
Single Sivra Dark
False Sunlight
A dark Sivra Dark song about false signals, blurred moral lines, and the difference between something that looks like truth and something that actually is.
Single Zed Wishless
395 Sunrise
A rock and roll song built from a real Highway 395 sunrise, where an early-morning business drive turned into an unforgettable encounter with rushing water, desert color, and mountain light. The song only clicked after moving from RoyRoy Genkins to Zed Wishless.
Single RoyRoy Genkins
Chasing the Sunset
A reflective Americana road song built from a day in the Sierra, where sagebrush mornings, burn-scarred forests, birds at dusk, and a westbound sunset become a meditation on resilience, leadership, and learning to let go.
Single Zed Wishless
Broken Man, Iron Will
I wrote Broken Man, Iron Will around Friedrich Nietzsche, resilience, and the question of what we do with suffering after we survive it.
Single RoyRoy Genkins
Ripples from Distant Shores
A reflective country folk song about the quiet reach of kindness, words worth saying, and the ways something small can continue outward long after it leaves our hands.
Single RoyRoy Genkins
Becoming Still
A first major snow in the Sierra Nevada becomes a meditation on changing seasons, changing priorities, and knowing when a moment has given you what you came for.
Single RoyRoy Genkins
Grab Those Moments
A reflective country and Americana song about how our perception of time changes as we age, and the importance of recognizing the fleeting opportunities for connection, adventure, awe, and meaningful experience while they are still available.
Artist
A World Becoming
Ambient soundscapes shaped by ancient mystery, deep time, landscape, and unanswered questions.
Artist
Corra's Light
Corra’s Light creates cinematic, faith-rooted music shaped by grief, mercy, resilience, and quiet moments of grace. Intimate and reflective, the project explores the places where exhaustion, uncertainty, and loss can gradually give way to hope, prayer, and light.
Artist
Drown Wake
DrownWake is a cinematic heavy-rock and melodic-metal project built around trials of character: courage, temptation, grief, responsibility, restraint, resilience, and discernment. Originally conceived as a darker outlet for anger, manipulation, and social unease, the project was later stripped back and deliberately rebuilt. The modern DrownWake keeps the weight and darkness of its origins, but shifts the focus toward the person standing inside the storm and the choices they make there.
Artist
Loriena Drift
Loriena Drift is an uplifting electronic artist built around ethereal female vocals, melodic movement, and songs that explore light, resilience, spiritual openness, and the search for something greater than ourselves.
Artist
Sivra Dark
Dark cinematic songs exploring truth, memory, grief, freedom, silence, and the shifting boundary between light and shadow.
