I create indie rock with an introspective edge, blending ambient sounds with emotion. My songs explore love, loss, and quiet moments — music to reflect, feel, and sit with.

Silence, shadows, and whispered words. I Can Not Take Back What I Said explores the weight of words left behind and the echoes that remain.
Haunting, minimal, meditative electronic sound.

Without Reason or Rhyme began as a few lines written instinctively and later handwritten into a birthday card.

Years later, those words remain unchanged.

Unwittingly the Die Is Cast is a reflective electronic track exploring memory, loss, and acceptance. Gentle pads, subtle piano, and restrained rhythms allow the emotional narrative to emerge naturally.

A quiet journey through reflection and endurance…
A Deep Narcosis Waits For Me traces the moments between anesthesia, awakening, and recovery. Minimal electronic textures and subtle ambient tones carry the emotional weight of perseverance and adaptation.

New music, darker in tone.
“Without a Heart” tells a nocturnal story of loss, surrender, and transformation — a life drained not through violence, but through inevitability. Haunting, minimal, and emotionally distant.

The final chapter of the Rednaxela trilogy.
A darker, heavier track about survival, memory, and what remains after the fire burns out.
Epic, restrained, and deeply human. #indiemusic #indierock

The Last Survivor Found is a song -

A solitary survivor moves through a ruined world, bearing memory, loss, and silence. “The Last Survivor Found” explores extinction, consequence, and the quiet aftermath of humanity’s end.
