I Thought I Was Making Wallpapers

I started MONOFRAME thinking I would simply make wallpapers. Quiet cities, rainy nights, and minimal spaces were all I wanted to create. But somewhere along the way, music changed everything. This is a small story about how I stopped focusing on images alone and began creating worlds filled with feelings, memories, and dreams.

I Thought I Was Making Wallpapers

When I started MONOFRAME, I thought wallpapers would always be the center of everything.

That was the plan.

I wanted to create quiet images for everyday screens.

Rainy cities.

Minimal spaces.

Late-night rooms.

The kind of wallpapers that make you pause for a moment and take a deep breath.

And honestly, I still love making them.

But recently, something unexpected happened.

I started making music.

At first, it was just an experiment.

I thought it would be a nice addition to the wallpapers.

A small side project.

Nothing more.

But then I created a track called After the Sunset.

And I kept listening to it.

Again.

And again.

Not because it was perfect.

Not because it was technically amazing.

I just liked how it felt.

It reminded me of quiet evenings.

Of driving home while the sky slowly turns purple.

Of sitting alone in a room with the lights off, thinking about nothing and everything at the same time.

And suddenly I realized something.

I wasn’t trying to make wallpapers anymore.

I was trying to create feelings.

Wallpapers were never the goal.

Music wasn’t the goal either.

What I really wanted to make…

was a world.

A place you can visit when you’re tired.

A quiet city after the rain.

A warm room on a winter night.

A peaceful village beneath an orange sunset.

A bedroom illuminated only by moonlight.

That’s why I keep creating.

Not because I know exactly where MONOFRAME is going.

Honestly…

I have no idea.

A few months ago, I thought I would just make wallpapers.

Now I’m making music.

Maybe next year I’ll be making something completely different.

And strangely,

that uncertainty doesn’t scare me anymore.

Because for the first time in a long time,

I’m excited about tomorrow.

I thought I was making wallpapers.

But somehow,

I started building dreams.
