I don't confine myself to a single genre. My muse draws from every direction, and I follow where it leads using various AI technologies.

Hello, and thank you for listening. I don't really have a single genre that I aspire to create. It's mainly just what I'm feeling in the moment. My muse draws inspiration from every direction. My musical voyage takes me on journeys both internal and external, journeys whose results I can't always predict. For me, it's truly the journey that matters, not the destination. I let my creativity flow freely, allowing it to guide me where it will. I don't constrain myself to a particular style or genre; instead, I embrace the boundless possibilities of musical expression. Each new piece is an adventure, an opportunity to explore uncharted sonic territory. My aim is not to adhere to any preconceived notions of what my music "should" sound like. Rather, I strive to authentically channel the emotions, ideas, and perspectives that well up within me at any given time. The end result may defy easy categorization, but that's part of the beauty. I'm not beholden to any expectations other than my own artistic vision. So in short, I let my muse be my guide. I follow where it leads, embracing the unpredictable journey of musical creation (via various AI technologies). I hope you'll join me on these voyages, as I never know quite where they might take us. Cheers!

Story behind the song

"Fading Signals" is a wall-of-sound rock anthem that dives deep into the wreckage of a lost relationship. Combining heavy, driving riffs with a haunting lyrical narrative, it captures the moment when silence becomes louder than a scream and memories become a ghost you can no longer fight. The song explores themes of loss, haunting memories, and the aftermath of a broken connection:

The Haunting: The lyrics describe a "ghost I can’t fight" and rooms "soaked in echoes," where mundane objects like a shirt on the floor or a coffee cup serve as painful reminders of a past presence.

The Conflict: The central metaphor of a "ghost of what we dreamed" and being "stuck between the damage" suggests a character trapped in the wreckage of a relationship that was louder and more damaging than a war.

The Struggle: The refrain "the silence tears right through me" highlights the deafening void left behind, contrasting the explosive energy of the music with the internal emptiness of the narrator.

Lyrics

Your number's burned in my phone
But the line's gone cold
I'm still here, still alone
With the lies we told

Your shirt's still on the floor
Where you left it that night
I keep reaching for more
Of a ghost I can't fight

These walls remember everything
Every kiss, every knife

These rooms are soaked in echoes
Of the words that broke us dead
I'm drowning in the wreckage
Of everything we bled

The silence tears right through me
It's louder than your screams
I'm stuck between the damage
And the ghost of what we dreamed

Found your coffee cup this morning
Threw it at the wall
The mirror shows a liar
Someone I despise

These walls remember everything
Every sin, every scar

These rooms are soaked in echoes
Of the words that broke us dead
I'm drowning in the wreckage
Of everything we bled

The silence tears right through me
It's louder than your screams
I'm stuck between the damage
And the ghost of what we dreamed

They say time will heal this
But I'm rotting in the wait
I keep clawing at the silence
But there's nothing left to save

These rooms are full of echoes
Your voice won't let me go

I'm living in the wreckage
Of everything I know

The silence speaks your name here
In every shattered space
I'm somewhere in between here
And that last place

Your number's burned in my phone
But the line's gone cold
