“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain..”

— Bob Marley

MUSIC

Step into my music corner—where sounds collide, ideas evolve, and experiments quietly turn into something alive.

My main instruments are a Yamaha DGX-670 digital piano, a D Kurd 8 (Pantam Series) handpan, and my didgeridoo. I start with AI-generated foundations for most tracks, then layer in my own stems from the DGX-670 and handpan, shaping and polishing everything in Logic Pro until it feels right.

The first track below—“I Did Not Die”—is one of my earliest and rawest pieces, created purely in the DAW (Logic Pro) without AI or live instruments. Every track since then draws its lyrics straight from the poetry I’ve written over the years. Since then, I’ve leaned deeper into this hybrid approach, and that shift marked the birth of karunascape, the name I now create under. My poetry and writing can be found here.

As I keep creating more, I’ll be adding fresh pieces here—so come back and see what’s new.
