Short biography
The Mirror Home is Derek Hoffman and Mei Ting, writing and recording remotely and refusing to pick a genre. Shared files, late-night calls, and AI-assisted production come together into songs that move between alternative rock, Americana, blues, industrial, folk, spoken word, and cinematic textures.
Extended biography
The Mirror Home is Derek Hoffman and Mei Ting: two people, two time zones' worth of scheduling problems, and one shared folder.
Derek plays guitars, drums, and piano, writes spoken word, and is still hoping the singing thing works out. Mei brings bass, violin, extra guitars, and vocals, and keeps the songs grounded in melody and atmosphere. They write the lyrics and shape the arrangements together, and use AI as a production tool — including, when it's called for, the male vocal Derek's voice can't quite deliver.
Their catalog runs from intimate to haunted to explosive to fully sideways — because sometimes the song is a confession, and sometimes it's about beards, bad dating profiles, or being the fly.
Signal 003 Current Release
A Blues/Rock portrait of a woman who takes up space on her own terms — fierce, warm, loud, and impossible to pin down. “Alpha Girl” is Signal 003 from The Mirror Home.

Sound Record
The subject determines the form. These descriptors identify qualities that recur even when the instrumentation and genre change.
The subject and language are established before a final genre or production frame is selected.
Songs are built as scenes, transmissions, memories, arguments, or fragments of a larger world.
Alternative rock, Americana, industrial, blues, electronic, folk, and spoken word are treated as materials.
Every preserved arrangement and performance is selected, revised, and approved by the project.
The collaboration moves through shared files, calls, instrumental recordings, and repeated passes.
The catalog makes room for grief, satire, speculative fiction, politics, memory, and absurdity.

Derek and Mei write the lyrics, build the arrangements, perform the instrumental and vocal parts, and make every final call on what gets released. AI is part of the production process — used to test ideas, render takes, and provide the male vocal on songs that need one. We're upfront about that because the line between "who wrote this" and "what helped finish it" actually matters to us.
