🎄✨ Dreaming of Candy Canes and Sugar Plums ✨🎄 This piece holds a special place in my creative journey — not because it’s my favorite, but because it was one of the first songs I ever created using AIVA AI (DAWS mode). It opened the door for me to begin exploring orchestral composition through AI, blending technology with imagination to bring a Christmas dreamscape to life. The music is a gentle orchestral instrumental that paints the feeling of childhood wonder — the sparkle of candy canes, the sweetness of sugar plums, and the quiet peace of winter nights.

Every secret begins as a whisper. A Secret Unfolds is a gothic folk story about the truths that hide in silence and the memories that refuse to fade. Beneath the moonlight, echoes of the past begin to speak — revealing what was meant to stay buried. The song invites you into a world where sound becomes emotion and every verse peels back another layer of mystery. It’s a reminder that even in darkness, there is light waiting to be found — if you listen closely enough. 🎬 The video for A Secret Unfolds was crafted to capture that moment when the unseen becomes seen — where light breaks through shadow and revelation takes form. 🎧 Listen & Watch: Now streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Boomplay

“The Ones Who Vanish” Every year, when the cold wind returns and the moon climbs high, the same thing happens — someone disappears. No screams, no struggle, just silence and mystery. “The Ones Who Vanish” is my latest dark wave / gothic folk song about those who walk into the woods or mountains alone after dark and are never seen again. Some call it legend, others call it truth. I wanted to capture the fear and beauty of that moment when darkness calls your name. The song was created using stems from SUNO and mixed and mastered with Reaper and Audacity. The video was produced using Veo 3 AI to visualize the haunting atmosphere behind the lyrics written by Robert Canales. Now available on iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, Boomplay, YouTube Music, and Qobuz. Listen, share, and support independent American music.

When the last light fades and the forest falls silent, the night begins to breathe. We Roam the Dark is a gothic folk tale told through sound — a journey into the hidden world that awakens beneath the moon. It follows the spirits, hunters, and wanderers of the night as they rise from the shadows, guided by whispers, memory, and the call of something ancient. This song isn’t about fear, but connection. The darkness has always been part of the human story — a place of mystery, reflection, and transformation. We are drawn to it because it reminds us that we, too, are made of both shadow and light. The song blends the haunting textures of dark wave with the storytelling heart of gothic folk. Its sound evokes the rustling of leaves, distant chanting, and the pulse of life hidden just beyond the veil. The video for We Roam the Dark visually brings that world to life — showing the awakening of the forest, the gathering of witches, and the silent return to dawn. Created with modern tools — SUNO, Reaper, Audacity, Veo 3, and Clipchamp — the project reflects our belief that storytelling matters more than the tools themselves. If your art moves people, the medium you use only helps tell the story.

A World of "Fright and Mystery” — Dark Wave / Gothic Folk Under the silver glow of the moon, the forest awakens… wolves roam in silence, witches whisper their spells, and spirits drift through the mist. This haunting track blends ethereal synths, eerie strings, heartbeat percussion, and ghostly whispers to capture the beauty and fear that define Halloween night. I wrote all of the lyrics and specified the instruments, genre, key, and tempo for each verse and chorus using SUNO, then mixed and mastered the song manually in my DAW to create its dark, cinematic sound. Every sonic detail — from the haunting whispers to the pulsing rhythm — was shaped by hand to bring this gothic folk vision to life. The accompanying video was created using Veo 3, visualizing the song through moonlit forests, spectral figures, and fog-shrouded rituals.
