Songs, lyrics & music
Music has long been an integral thread in my artistic journey—beginning with the raw intensity of my alternative new wave years in the 1980s at the Minerva Art Academy with Qua Dance, and later through my work with the band RhuBarb. Since then, songwriting has remained a steady companion.
I am a curious guy who always wants to try new things. So, with the advent of generative AI, I’ve returned to older material with fresh eyes, reworking past songs while also composing new ones. The lyrics are always my own— often intimate & poetic, but surely also engaged and rooted in life and lived experience. The music, generated through AI, functions as both realistic compositions and sonic sketches of how I can imagine the experience.
These AI songs form part of a broader artistic exploration—prototypes, yes, but also personal testaments. Of course, I hope, that one day they’ll be performed live by me and/or other real musicians who can breathe their own life into them. But for now, they remain a vital and evolving part of my practice— my love for music will always be an important part of me.
