Making Mirrors

Gotye

A meticulous collage of vintage samples and soulful art-pop. Introspective, warm, and occasionally eccentric, recorded in a converted barn on an Australian farm.

It's like finding a box of old polaroids that somehow start singing to you.

A sophisticated, sample-woven exploration of memory and the quiet ache of moving on.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The brittle, iconic xylophone loop that anchors the global hit 'Somebody That I Used to Know'.
The pitch-shifted, robotic Lowrey Cotillion organ narrative that drives the oddball epic 'State of the Art'.
The devastatingly sparse and cinematic fade-out of 'Bronte', mimicking the quiet passing of a loved one.
