Bryan, California. Independent artist • Distributed via Hitmaker (Atlantic Records)

I’ve spent 20+ years working across video production, graphic design, and digital media. I was part of the early machinima movement, building story and atmosphere within limited systems. That experience continues to shape how I approach pacing, tone, and worldbuilding.

I’ve always had some form of creative project driving my time and energy. Previously, that meant editing cinematic content like montages and music videos using existing copyrighted tracks. It worked, but it came with limitations: copyright strikes, muted audio, and a constant reliance on material I didn’t control. That friction pushed me to start creating music of my own.

AI-assisted tools initially gave me a way into music production, allowing me to rapidly explore original songs while developing the visual concepts around them. What began as a way to gain creative control gradually became a much deeper interest in songwriting and production.

Today, that process is shifting toward human-first production. I write the lyrics and build new music directly in FL Studio, handling composition, arrangement, instrumentation, sound design, and mixing while continuing to develop my production skills. AI remains part of the toolkit for experimentation and areas where collaboration isn’t yet practical, particularly vocals.

When the right collaborators are available, fully human production is the ideal. Rampant (Studio Version) was produced entirely with human producers and vocalists, while newer releases like Artificial Minds - Revival Remix represent my move toward building the music myself from the beginning.

Veilr is a creative framework for exploring and constructing worlds. Music is a core component, but not the end product. Each track ultimately feeds back into cinematic visual work, where music, editing, storytelling, and worldbuilding are developed as parts of the same idea.

This is an ongoing process of experimentation and growth. The goal is to keep expanding what I can create directly while building immersive experiences where the audio and visual identity evolve together.

PROCESS//PIPELINE PRTL .. FLOW771//ITER LOOP

I build each track from a concept first, drawing from fantasy worlds, narrative ideas, and thematic structures shaped by my background in visual storytelling and digital media. I write the lyrics myself, with the goal of creating not just a song, but a scene, moment, or world the track can support.

My production workflow has shifted significantly as I’ve learned FL Studio. New tracks are now built human-first in the DAW, where I create the melodies, instrumentation, arrangement, sound design, effects, and mix directly rather than relying on a generated track as the foundation. Artificial Minds - Revival Remix was the first release completed through this approach.

AI-assisted tools still play a role in exploration and, currently, vocals. I use them to test ideas quickly and fill gaps where collaboration is not yet practical, but they are no longer the center of the production process. I’m actively seeking vocalists and other collaborators to continue reducing that reliance.

When the right collaboration is possible, fully human production remains the ideal. Rampant (Studio Version), for example, was rebuilt entirely with human producers and vocalists and contains no AI-generated music or vocals.

After the music is complete, I move into the visual side of the project, building cinematic edits in Premiere using games, film, anime, or original concepts. The music and visuals are developed to support one another as parts of the same idea.

My approach to AI is straightforward: use it where it helps me explore or overcome a current limitation, while continuing to build the skills and relationships that let me do more of the work directly. The direction of the project is increasingly hands-on, collaborative, and human-produced.

Each track starts as a concept, but only becomes complete when it’s translated into a cinematic
experience.

I write the lyrics myself, with the goal of creating not just a song, but a scene, moment, or world the track can support.

From there, I move into rapid iteration. AI-assisted tools allow me to explore variations in genre, tone, and structure at a speed that wouldn’t be possible through traditional methods alone. I loop through multiple passes, guiding style, testing directions, and refining the identity of the track until something cohesive begins to form.
