born near brussels on february 5 2006 and moving near the countryside soon after, most of my life has been exposed under the comfortable arms of nostalgia. these experiences together with my love of mathematics would inspire me to venture in the arts, with the COVID-19 pandemic being the catalyst of it all. free time on my hands, i began learning about the internet and what it means to make music.whilst it was very difficult and formed into depressive periods of my life, today feel very proud to still breathe and feel comfortable sharing what i like most doing. other art-related activities that i do in my spare time include making photography (especially with my thrifted polaroid camera), acrylic painting, and doodling both on paper and digitally.after music became something i was interested in studying (wanted to become an architect and a botanist earlier), music reviewing started becoming a new hobby, and that's where i've met most of my friends today.

most recent release - Barebones

letting mistakes and improvisation run its own course, the 17 track album are some of my most simple, stripped-back and sentimental songs. made in all sorts of conditions, in different spaces across my family home, in a recollecting reflection of myself.

self-titled (real being)

february 5 2025 - lp

the culmination of the past year's troubles and the discovery of presenting myself in new personas led me to create what i believe to be my most out there record in scope and direction

variations on thee, toast en tomaten

march 27 2025 - ep

nostalgia hit me like a ton of bricks at the start of the year. remembered one day when a friend i haven't seen since 2021 gave me a song file, so i remixed it. we started talking again after the release.

"live" at polarizefest

made for the now-defunct noise label Polarize. unironically the turning point in my entire music career. made with instruments i haven't played before and styles i haven't tried. it's awesome !

the night everything happened

march 17 2023 - ep

much like memory pool (the main single), most of the tracks are shallow and somber much like how i was feeling at the time. whilst i like the sound design on this ep, am glad i'm just not depressed anymore.

lost signal

december 20 2023 - album

first envisioned as a concept album based on my country's heritage of the world wars, that changed over time to become a hidden television channel that mysteriously went off air without notice, with the music being its extended jingles

the tale

june 18 2023 - album

a concept album based on my favorite movie of all time, Luca by Pixar (probably obvious why). had the idea for the cover a long time but it's unfortunately not what i went with due to constraints. some of my best material is on here.

slow dive

april 15 2022 - album

a more moody direction and more watery-sounding

yellow album

may 24 2021 - album

i like the color yellow, what's more to say ?

leaf

april 10 2021 - album

the concept for this one was meant to be an imaginary film based on the dangers of the internet and how nature is more important near the end, i think i hilariously failed that concept with this album.

about

since may 2024, i've been working as a volunteer for the website AOTY making the user experience the best it can be. it hasn't been an easy ride, but nonetheless the opportunities and interactions with the community have been great. many of my friendships were cherished through this platform.you can find me on aoty here.

discovering aoty

i started reviewing music in my free time using notes around 2021 to catalog what i listened to, but after some time this process became tiresome and made me lose interest in listening to new material. at some point browsing youtube, i came across streamer Brad Taste in Music. a semi-popular and somewhat controversial figure, he showcased AOTY a lot on his streams, and seeing him talk positively about the website made me join it as well. i had an earlier account around 2022, but started from scratch on march 11 2023, which is when i created my current account.
