Foley-based sound design where everyday objects are transformed into alien landscapes. Tactile, microscopic, and deeply immersive.

It sounds like a robot trying to remember what a forest feels like.

A cold, hyper-detailed exploration of the boundary between the mechanical and the organic.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the rhythmic structure of 'Journeyman' seems to assemble itself from the sound of heavy machinery and creaking timber.
The unsettling, gender-fluid vocal processing on 'Wooden Toy' that feels like a transmission from a different species.
The sudden, violent bursts of digital distortion in 'Goto 10' that resolve into a surprisingly delicate melodic sequence.
