Fragmented Reflection

52 Weeks Later - A Musical Exploration

In 2025, I launched 52 Weeks Later, a year-long music project dedicated to writing, recording, and releasing one musical idea or track every week. This journey is not just about creating music—it's about exploring storytelling, emotion, and sound design.

Inspired by my love for video game soundtracks, cinematic scores, and ambient textures, each track blends elements of electronic music, live instrumentation, and immersive soundscapes. From introspective acoustic pieces to synth-driven explorations, my compositions aim to evoke emotions and paint vivid sonic landscapes.

Many of these pieces are designed with visual media in mind—ideal for filmmakers, game developers, and anyone seeking evocative, immersive music to enhance their projects.

EXPERIENCE

I have been studying guitar and other string instrument for last 17 years. I began my journey with an acoustic guitar and soon after started exploring electric guitar, bass guitar, slide guitar as well as a sitar. One can say that this is my comfort zone. Also, I went through classic piano training for 3 years when I was young so I understand basic music theory. Most recently I’ve started to learn drums as well as recording my own ideas through Ableton LIVE 10.

Having been in multiple musical projects over the years, I have experience in writing music, playing shows and recording.
