The Collapsed Series
There's something profoundly different about music designed to disappear into the background. Not background music in the dismissive sense, but sound that becomes part of the air you breathe, the thoughts you think, the code you write at three in the morning when the world has gone quiet.
No hooks to grab your attention, just layers of sound that settle around you and let your mind do what it needs to do.
I've always been fascinated by liminal spaces, those in-between moments and places where normal rules don't quite apply. The quiet hours before dawn. The space between sleep and waking. The flow state when you're so deep in work that hours pass like minutes.
Designed to be experienced in its entirety from start to finish, ideally on an endless loop.
Volume I: Sustained Collapse
Sustained Collapse is my attempt at creating that kind of space. It's an album, sure, but really it's more like a room you can walk into whenever you need to think clearly, work deeply, or just exist without the constant pull of distraction. I made it to be played on repeat, start to finish, for as long as you need it.

Volume II: Where Grace Bends the Light Inward
Where Grace Bends the Light Inward is about the moment of turning: when outward striving gives way to inward surrender, when the light stops reaching and begins returning.
It's the second volume in The Collapsed Series, which explores different aspects of time, space, and consciousness through sound. Each volume is its own world, but they all share the same idea: music as architecture for thought rather than entertainment.
