Single Drown Wake
The Quiet Trial
A dark, cinematic melodic metal song about the battle to choose restraint, courage, and character when no one is watching.

Turn Around in Time
An uplifting Loriena Drift track about recognizing when changing direction is an act of wisdom rather than failure.
Single Corra's Light
I Withheld
I revisited "I Withheld" through Corra's Light, keeping the song's restraint and emotional honesty while giving it a warmer, female-led soft rock treatment.
Single RoyRoy Genkins
I Withheld
I wrote I Withheld as a reflective Americana song about a narrator who mistakes silence for stability and slowly feels the cost of holding back.
Single Nebula's Pulse
Trial of Intelligence
A chapter in the Nebula's Pulse story where humanity's technological breakthrough nearly costs it control of civilization. The real test is not whether intelligence can be created, but whether humans remain disciplined enough to govern what they create.
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 Sivra Dark
Chains of Fortune
I took Stoic ideas about virtue, fear, desire, and fortune and pushed them into a darker modern metal setting.
