A high-stakes exercise in controlled chaos. This acoustic trio pushes 160 BPM through a manic, A-minor lens, swapping traditional swing for aggressive, chromatic tension and percussive grit.

Artist picture
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
This track was designed to explore the friction between human fingers and "mechanical" speed. At 160 BPM, the acoustic piano becomes a different animalyou aren't just playing notes; you're managing the physical weight of the keys and the momentum of the hammers. It’s about the sweat and the near-misses that happen when you try to play precisely at the edge of human capability. Lyrics and concept by Ward C Locke. Music produced using Suno AI.
