Ever-evolving on the edges
of our shared reality is
a world that resonates, lingers,
and disrupts from beneath the surface...
Empty & Awake unfolds across hypnotic musical landscapes, tracing the unraveling of a self once defined by illusion. Through fracture, collapse, and confrontation, what begins
as an internal rebellion becomes a cinematic reckoning.
Each song acts as an episode in this 10 part series, peeling back another layer of identity, loss, and longing—until, in the depths of the void, something transformative takes form.

"How Much Did You Know"
Episode 5
The pattern resurfaces, first as echo, then as repetition. Betrayal takes shape not only in what was done, but in what was dismissed and disguised as care. Healing begins with the recognition that what remains intact was never broken.

"Three Shots"
Episode 4
Three shots broke the promise that home could still be safe. Fear took root where belonging once lived, and survival meant giving up what was never going to heal. Joy lives on the other side of loss, but even years later, the idea of home remains — deliberately avoided, soaked in questions of regret.
"OK Fine"
Episode 3
Everything held together for survival starts to split—mind, body, the shape constructed to be loved. Beneath the surface, the false self strains against collapse, held together only by the weight of expectation. Falling becomes the motion that frees what’s real from everything built to contain it.
"Inside Out There"
Episode 2
Returning to a world where outside glances never land quite right, distorted reflections echo louder than truth, and longing for identity stays buried beneath the noise. Inside the stillness mistaken for emptiness, the dream stirs and ripples to the surface.
"Away Already"
Episode 1
This peaceful escape brings only the relief of inevitable change. Time away doesn’t fix the connection—it reveals the illusion already breaking down. What felt real dissolves into fragments of love, nostalgia, and fading light, until the only truth left is the one believed.
