A.I. Blindness

A.I. Blindness started as a question I couldn't shake: what happens when we build systems smarter than we can understand, then depend on them anyway? The collection pulls together tracks written across different headspaces—some focused on that specific anxiety, others just chasing what happens when you run a tremolo-heavy guitar riff straight into a sustained violin line and hold them both until something gives. There's a thread connecting them though, something about vulnerability in an age of supposed control.

“I wanted listeners to feel off-balance, the way you do when you realize how little you actually know about the systems running your life.”

The record leans hard into collision. On "The Fallen Heroes" the strings aren't sweetening the metal, they're fighting it—martial drums driving underneath while guitars and orchestral arrangements tear at each other. "Solo Leveling" uses dynamic shifts to build actual dread; the arrangement stays sparse until it doesn't, until everything hits at once and the tension snaps. I wanted listeners to feel off-balance, the way you do when you realize how little you actually know about the systems running your life. "Mozart Rocks" takes it further, stripping the reverence out of classical melody and forcing it into aggressive alt-metal structures—no apology, no bridge between worlds, just collision.

What makes A.I. Blindness work as a collection is that it doesn't resolve the tension. These aren't songs about accepting technology or rejecting it. They're songs about living in the gap, about the strings and the distortion existing in the same space with no hierarchy, no clear winner. The sound is deliberately unsettling.
