About:
An abstract, metaphorical journey exploring overwhelm, anxiety, and transformation. It’s structured in 3 acts (Like a movie), each with its own key instrumental identity, but the full track is one continuous emotional narrative. The goal is an immersive, dynamic experience rather than a conventional song
Inspired by a real-life incident from 2019, Death Said Breathe is an experimental audio-film in song form that took six years to fully arrive. Born from a moment of profound despair and a real call that changed the course of life, the song explores what it feels like to be untethered—drowning in hopelessness, exhausted by the self, and longing for an end.
At its heart lies a quiet philosophy: the end we seek can be a release, a letting go of the suffering self, creating space for rebirth, transformation, and the fragile fullness of life. Through aching verses, suffocating choruses, and delicate textures, the song moves toward the command: “Breathe, Death said breathe.”
This project is crafted to be experienced in full spatial detail. In Atmos, the work unfolds in its full depth: layers of sound transform into a living, breathing environment, surrounding the listener completely.
Mixed by Grammy Award–winning engineer James Auwarter, the result is an experience that feels cinematic, physical, and alive.
Close your eyes. Breathe.
Experience songwriting like never before.

Behind the Song
Started in 2019, it is a literal testimony of my journey out of misery. I tried to capture that state of absolute chaos, when life feels barren, when you’re merely surviving, and existence itself becomes a burden.
But the story doesn’t end there. The urge to live finds its way back into life. Hope is fragile, yet never absent. It leans into the silence of misery and whispers, “Child, life is a beautiful bliss, let go of your pain.” (As if it’s that simple)
What follows can only be experienced, not explained.
This is ‘Death Said, Breathe.’
An immersive experience; yours to experience from October 26th.
