The inspiration for Thalassophobia started as a vision of a car sinking in a dark ocean, with the headlights blazing. I went to work immediately crafting the visuals of the music video in MidJourney. From there I crafted the track to include atmospheric cues of metal creaking and waves crashing. Every melody and guitar passage in the track was performed and crafted by me, built on a hybrid production workflow that blends human musicianship with AI driven experimentation to create a uniquely textured soundscape. The entire project, including songwriting, recording, mastering, and all the underwater visuals, took more than two months to complete. As the music builds like rising pressure in the deep, the camera drifts through submerged streets and collapsed skyscrapers until a massive, ancient kraken emerges from the shadows, turning the track’s tension into a mythic and inescapable encounter with the abyss.
Together, the track and visuals create a single experience: a journey into the abyss where the past lies rusted, the future is drowned, and the only thing left moving in the dark is the ocean itself.
