Single Nebula's Pulse
The Animal Wakes First
I wanted to bring Nebula's Pulse down from the scale of civilizations and fleets to one human body in deep space, where ancient instinct may still notice something before conscious thought catches up.

Single Drown Wake
Bound in Something Dark
A dark, bass-led Drown Wake song drawn from a childhood nightmare and my adult reflection on fear, moral choice, and the possibility that some warnings deserve respect.
Single Sivra Dark
Walls We Had to Build
A dark Sivra Dark song about the line between redemption, responsibility, and the walls society sometimes has to keep in place.
Single Drown Wake
The Weight of the Dead
A dark melodic metal song inspired by a living tree slowly failing under the weight of a dead tree it is still holding above a forest road.

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 Loriena Drift
Turn Around in Time
An uplifting Loriena Drift track about recognizing when changing direction is an act of wisdom rather than failure.
Single RoyRoy Genkins
The No People
I wrote The No People for America's 250th anniversary as a RoyRoy Genkins Americana song about freedom, builders, opportunity, and the responsibility to leave the country stronger for the people who come next.
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 Loriena Drift
Unshakable
I built Unshakable around the image of faith holding steady while everything else moves, using seismic low end, big-room scale, and a triumphant chorus to make that contrast feel physical.
Single Sivra Dark
The Unbroken Light
I wrote "The Unbroken Light" as a Sivra Dark song about the resilience of the Iranian people, the refusal to surrender truth or dignity under repression, and the hope of a future where freedom becomes ordinary enough for children to grow up without fear.
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 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 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 Nebula's Pulse
Asha's Bearing
A cinematic Nebula's Pulse chapter where an unexplained pattern in ancient technology gives humanity a bearing through deep space, carrying with it a quiet real-world tribute to truth, courage, and the people of Iran.
Single Sivra Dark
Held, Not Carried
I wrote Held, Not Carried as a companion to Severed Arc, exploring how love, grace, and boundaries can coexist without turning care into judgment.
Single Sivra Dark
Severed Arc
A restrained Sivra Dark song about fragile resilience, presence, and caring without pretending every difficult thing can be fixed.
Single Sivra Dark
After the Hold
A dark, reflective song about loosening control, making room, and learning that stepping back can be part of helping something grow.
Single RoyRoy Genkins
The Tide and the Will
A reflective Americana song about human agency, the choices we still control, and the difference those choices can make when circumstances refuse to cooperate.
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 Nebula's Pulse
Hollow Haven's Pulse
The second Nebula's Pulse song imagines humanity surviving Earth's collapse by building a new civilization inside a hollowed asteroid, transforming grief and desperation into resilience, life, and a new human pulse among the stars.
Single Sivra Dark
Chains of Fortune
I took Stoic ideas about virtue, fear, desire, and fortune and pushed them into a darker modern metal setting.
Artist
Drown Wake
Drown Wake 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 Drown Wake 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.
