Greetings, Drivers.
If you’re reading this, you’ve found your way to the heart of the Neo Helsinki universe—a place where steel meets soul, where the boundaries between human and machine blur, and where one person’s obsession with storytelling becomes something larger than themselves.
I’m Millennium Falck, and this is where I’ll be sharing the journey of creating Fall of the Titans—the full, unfiltered process of building a transmedia story that exists at the intersection of music, narrative, and technology.
The Journey So Far
When I completed the first Fall of the Titans story and album, something unexpected happened. Instead of feeling satisfied, I felt hungry. The world of Mars, the clash between Neo Helsinki Robot Core and Hellraiser Militia, the tragedy of William Falck, reuniting with his mother Audencia and Peter Ares—all of it demanded more. The story wasn’t finished. It had merely taken its first breath.
Almost immediately after releasing Part I, ideas for the second installment started flooding in. But this time, I wanted to do things differently. With the first story, I dove headfirst into both music and narrative simultaneously, letting them grow together organically. For Part II, I needed to think deeper, plan more carefully, and ensure the story had the weight it deserved before translating it into sound.
So I did something that felt counterintuitive for a musician: I stopped making music and concentrated on the story first.
I spent months in the world-building trenches. I mapped out character arcs, refined the philosophical underpinnings of the Soul Prism technology, and dove deep into what it means to be Divergent—to be caught between human and something else entirely. I wanted to understand William Falck’s transformation, his relationship with the ghost of Dire Wulf, and the cosmic horror of the Etherals’ return before I wrote a single note.
Now, with the story roughly in order, the music making continues. I’m back in the studio, crafting the sonic landscape of the whole story. Each act and chapter will have its musical companion, each moment of triumph or tragedy its own rhythm and melody.
The Release Plan (Or: Why I’m Not Giving You Dates)
Here’s where I need to be honest with you: I’m going to start releasing one song per week once I have around 15 chapters completed and ready. But I’m not giving you specific dates yet.
Why? Because this is my hobby. My passion project. My late-night obsession and early-morning meditation. And I’ve learned the hard way that when you put artificial deadlines on art that comes from such a personal place, you risk losing what makes it special. I want to ensure every chapter, every track, every piece of this puzzle gets the attention it deserves.
This isn’t a corporate product pushed by marketing schedules. This is one person trying to create something that resonates, that matters, that captures a feeling I can’t quite put into words but know is essential to get out into the world.
Transparency & The AI Question
Let’s address the elephant in the Robot Core: I use AI tools in this project.
Before you close this tab or write me off, let me be completely transparent about what that means and why I’ve made this choice.
What I don’t use AI for:
- My music composition. Every note, every synth line, every beat is crafted by me in my studio. The soul of the sound is human.
What I do use AI for:
- Writing assistance and story development
- Image generation for concept art and visuals
- Video creation
- Voice acting for characters
I understand this might turn some people away from the project, and I respect that completely. The conversation around AI in creative work is important, nuanced, and deeply personal for many artists. I’m not here to convince anyone that my approach is the “right” one—I’m here to be honest about it.
The reason I’m using these tools is simple: I’m one person trying to do what used to require an entire company. I want to tell a story that spans multiple media formats, that combines music, narrative, and visual art into a cohesive experience. AI tools give me the ability to experiment with that vision in ways that would have been financially and practically impossible otherwise.
Think of it as an experiment in democratized storytelling. How much can one person create when given access to powerful tools? What are the limitations? What are the unexpected discoveries?
As I start releasing chapters, I’ll create detailed blog posts breaking down my process—which AI tools I used, which music production plugins shaped the sound, how I approached the voice acting, everything. I want this to be a learning resource as much as a creative project.
Why Am I Doing This?
There’s something burning inside me through this story. I lack the words to describe this feeling adequately, but I trust that I’m doing this for a reason still unknown to me.
Maybe it’s about exploring the cost of survival when the price is someone else’s consciousness. Maybe it’s about father-son relationships fractured by ambition and ideology. Maybe it’s about what happens when humanity reaches beyond its grasp and finds something incomprehensible staring back.
Or maybe it’s simpler than all that. Maybe I just need to get these ghosts out of my system—the ghost of Dire Wulf, the ghost of Audencia, the ghosts of a million lives lost on New Helsinki, and the ancient ghosts of the Etherals waiting in their crystalline prisons.
What This Blog Will Be
Moving forward, this development blog will serve several purposes:
The Writer’s Journey: I’ll share the creative process, the struggles, the breakthroughs, the moments of doubt, and the flashes of inspiration that come at 3 AM when you’re half-asleep but suddenly understand exactly what a character needs to say.
Technical Breakdowns: When chapters release, I’ll detail how they were made—the tools, the techniques, the happy accidents, and the deliberate choices.
World-Building Deep Dives: The Neo Helsinki universe is vast. There are stories within stories, histories that span millions of years, and details that might never make it into the main narrative but inform everything that does.
The Music Behind the Story: Each track is a companion to its chapter. I’ll discuss the sonic choices, the emotional journey, and how music and narrative intertwine.
This site will become a hub for everything Fall of the Titans—a place where the curious can dive as deep as they want into the lore, the process, and the philosophy behind it all.
What’s Next
Right now, I’m in the studio finishing the musical companion pieces for the first two acts. The story is written, the beats are mapped, and the characters are ready for their next chapter. William Falck stands between two worlds, carrying the ghost of his AI companion and the weight of his father’s sins. The Etherals have made their presence known, and humanity must decide what it becomes next.
The march to Titan continues.
The fall of the titans approaches.
And I’ll be documenting every step of the journey here.
Welcome to Neo Helsinki. Your Robot Core is waiting.
