Behind the music, the story, and the website.
Dustin Dwint (real name: Aric Stoneheart) is a half-elf Glamour Bard 3 / Dao Warlock 4 from a tabletop Dungeons & Dragons campaign running Storm King's Thunder.
Red-haired, green-eyed, and never without his ironwood flute (which doubles as a Shillelagh weapon), Dustin evolved from a simple travelling bard into the inventor of an entirely new genre of music — by channelling his earth genie patron's power through his Minor Illusion cantrip.
All 30 songs were generated using Suno AI (Pro subscription), across versions v3 through v4.5. Each song was crafted with specific style tags and persona settings to match Dustin's musical evolution across three acts.
The full playlist — "The Long Rest" — is available on Suno.

Part band website, part campaign chronicle, part music player. Designed with a dark fantasy aesthetic — think Lord of the Rings meets 70s album art.
