Orbit Radiate Pulse: The Videos
In October 2025, I discovered an app called Grok. It added a whole new layer to my creativity. At first, I used it for silly things, like making photos of my mom and me screaming at each other. It was really funny. But pretty quickly, I realized I could use Grok to bring my Gloria stories to life.

10 Dark Americana Tracks Brimming With Quiet Anguish
If you asked me to describe one of the 2020's most popular musical aesthetics, I'd immediately jump to the genre that conjures images of haunted churches, grimy trailer parks and tattered American flags wavering in the wind. This genre has a lot of labels, including slowcore, indie pop and Southern gothic, but I've always thought of it as "dark Americana."

Charlotte Gainsbourg - IRM
I first came across the name Gainsbourg when Charlotte’s dad Serge released “Je T’Aime . Moi Non-Plus” with Jane Birkin which was banned by the BBC for being too naughty. The music was quite pleasant but Serge was never bothered about stepping on moral toes, recording and releasing the song “Lemon Incest” with his daughter. There are several copies on Youtube if you want to investigate and it entered the French charts and number seven peaking at number two, It appeared on Serge’s album “Love on the Beat” in 1985 and Charlotte’s debut album “Charlotte Forever” in 1986.

Playlist: shoegaze to blues
Spacecadetbloom – Playing Cards Going back more than 30 years, My Bloody Valentine were on the bill at the first gig I ever attended (in the glamourous surroundings of Whitley Bay Ice Rink, no less). I’d mostly gone to hear the Mary Chain, but MBV’s wall of dense, swirling sound made a huge, positive impression. Blur, the odd man out on that Rollercoaster tour, also made a huge impression, but sadly not a positive one.

The Space Between Genres in Milan’s Live Music Scene
Milan is a city that understands scale. Big fashion weeks. Large exhibitions. Touring productions that arrive with full lighting rigs and precise choreography. Even in music, the dominant energy often leans toward spectacle.
