It's me, Ann. This is how I emerged around here as your beloved musician: I am like a molten magma seething at the core of the rigid earth that suddenly slipped through a nano-millimeter crack at a force of one zillion PSI. As I made it to the surface, the great MUSIC MUSE patted my back saying: "The great sh!t has just began!" ;)
I play the guitar and piano, composing tunes in silence for years, having strong interest in learned listening to classical, prog rock/metal and eclectic choices, which fueled me to produce my own style of tunes. I set it straight in 2019, releasing a debut creepy single, Song of the Night Owl.
I collaborate with Mica China (pronounced as Meeca Cheena) to sing 4/7 of my music here. She is coming of age pursuing Conservatory of Music, Major in Piano (Classical) and Minor in Voice.
A haunting wuv song resurrected from my past recorded vocals. What I revamped is the full instrumentation, like I have this habit of changing my mind at any point in time . This is my full mix with Ableton DAW after shifting to it months ago.

This 6th single with a 'sexier title'* was inspired by Pink Floyd's "The Wall." It is a swift guitar jam in an upbeat 1:45-minute solo instrumental track.

This song is a quintessential doomed nightmare, rolled into a 5-minute song, guitar-driven and heavier this time. It has Mica's short soprano adlib inspired by Phantom of the Opera. It is part of ARHYTHMETIC PROJECT, series of mixed odd time-signature singles, with prog elements, to be released one by one until next year.

When an artist is shredding one moment with the muse, the bell tolls... It's an eerie song, backed up by clean finger-picked guitar riffs and swirling guitar effects. It is a rat-race with solitude’s best friend -- TIME.

It's brownout when I fret this tune in one rainy, tough college day. The dreary instance coin the lyrics of being aboard peacefully on a sailing ship that suddenly drowned as it blazed into flames. As the embers submerge, the song resolves with depth.
Read the expounded philosophy behind this song.

It's an eerie, instrumental music about one twilight in a hidden forest inhabited by fireflies and one creepy owl, mixed while sipping coffee in half cups…

Imagine a mysterious heroine on her way to meet someone significant in a never known, deserted fortress. But the cosmic cycle could snap off any chances of letting it happen, like a transparent thought. It lingers for ages..."

My guitar & voice cover of "Black Bird" by The Beatles (shortened version).
In 2018, I did a casual rendition of a Mendelssohn-Bartholdy piece: "Songs Without Words Opus 30 No. 6" (Venetian Boat Song).
Talented and kind friends who made me smile. Thank you!
