Three eras
50 recordings going back to the mid-2000s, most of them posted to his YouTube channel. A guitar, a room, and songs about the things you write songs about at that age.
274 tracks produced in FL Studio, 11 hours 40 minutes of it, filed under electronica, electro pop and glitch hop out of Brooklyn. It is scattered over ReverbNation, two SoundCloud accounts and YouTube, so the full list is assembled here.
The day job is data and AI, so the music comes in bursts: 1196 newer songs generated on Suno, tagged indie prog, and the occasional acoustic take when a guitar is within reach.

Halum’s Adventures is a five-song fantasy concept EP following a wanderer named Halum as he crosses mountains, luminous cities, impossible kingdoms, and halls of unopened doors in search of meaning. Along the way, his journey becomes less about conquest and more about understanding what it means to keep going when the road is hard, to love more people than one life can comfortably hold, to accept how quickly time disappears, and to make peace with the countless lives hidden behind the choices we never make. By the end, Halum discovers that a life does not need to be complete to be worthwhile. It only needs to be lived fully, loved deeply, and carried forward with enough courage to keep choosing the next road.
