About the Song

Stories Through the Machine serves as the album’s quiet prologue—a moment of honesty before the circuitry begins to hum. Airy vocals, ambient electronic textures, glitch echoes, and reversed choral layers frame this track as a kind of manifesto: a reminder that creativity doesn’t disappear just because time runs short.

The song was first written on September 26, 2025, under the Corin Duttoni persona. Back then, it was a direct confession about why I chose to collaborate with Suno—not as an escape from the work, but as a way to preserve stories I knew I could never finish alone. Threshold’s reinterpretation turns that idea into something larger: a reflection on legacy, mortality, and the strange comfort of letting a machine help carry the weight.

Themes

At its core, this track is about letting go of perfection and holding onto intention. It speaks to the fear of running out of time, the frustration of unfinished ideas, and the hope that words—any words—might still matter if they’re given a voice.

The song traces a few key ideas:

  • Mortality vs. creativity — the tension between limited time and limitless stories
  • Collaboration with the machine — not surrender, but stewardship
  • Voice as vessel — acknowledging that the sound may be synthetic, but the story is still human
  • Legacy through expression — creating not to impress, but to leave something that stays

It’s a thesis statement for the whole album: the machine is not replacing the storyteller—it’s helping the stories survive.

I’m JP B. Bantigue, CLSSBB, a multidisciplinary creative who tells stories through words, visuals, and sound. My songs often begin as fragments of memory—turning into reflections on love, loss, and the quiet spaces in between.

Blending fiction, poetry, and design, I write music that feels like a continuation of my stories—where every lyric becomes another door into the worlds I build.
