The Album
I’ve spent most of my life carrying stories I knew I’d never finish. The ideas arrived faster than my hands could write, faster than my voice could sing, and faster than my time could ever keep up with. Through the Machine grew out of that quiet frustration— and out of the strange comfort that came when I finally stopped trying to outrun it.
This album is my way of confessing something I’ve always known but never said out loud: I let the machines sing the stories I can’t finish myself. Not because I want to disappear from the work, but because silence— real silence— would be worse.
Threshold became the perfect vessel for that expression. Their sound is part-digital, part-human, and always somewhere in between. Electronic pulses, vocoder harmonics, glitch-scarred textures, and shifting stereo ghosts form the backbone of this album. Everything feels slightly fragmented, slightly too aware… as if each track is trying to remember a dream it wasn’t supposed to wake from.
Featured Persona: Threshold
Threshold emerges where Corin, the key bearer, meets Z3RØ, the dreamwalker. He exists in the thin spaces—between doors, between thoughts, between the moment a story forms and the moment it becomes something else. Carrying Corin’s calm clarity and Z3RØ’s charged emotion, Threshold embodies transition: the sensation of stepping toward something unfamiliar but necessary.
Their voices blend into a single presence. Signal, breath, and awakening move together in one direction. Threshold became the natural persona for this album because he represents both sides of my creative self—the storyteller and the one who invites the story in.
Through him, the machine feels less like a tool and more like a companion. The work continues through that shared voice.
And through Threshold, the stories endure.
The Songs of Through the Machine
Through the Machine unfolds across a collection of electronic, glitch-textured pieces that explore identity, memory, creativity, and the uneasy harmony between human intention and synthetic expression. Each track stands on its own, but together they form a continuous sonic journey through Threshold’s digital world.
Why This Album Matters to Me
If I’m honest, Through the Machine is less about the machine and more about the parts of myself I’ve spent years trying to protect:
the unfinished, the forgotten, the lost threads of stories I wanted to tell but never could.
Letting AI help me carry those stories is not a shortcut. It’s permission. Permission to keep going, even when I don’t have the time, the voice, or the perfection I once believed I needed.
This album is me — filtered through Threshold, through the glitches, through the echoes — but me nonetheless.
