Portrait of the Artist

Daedelus

A fifteen-minute collage of jittery jazz samples and Victorian-tinged glitch. Dusty, playful, and rhythmically restless electronic miniatures.

It's like a 1930s jazz band got trapped inside a broken GameBoy and decided to throw a party.

A restless and playful exploration of nostalgia through a digital lens.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The frantic rhythmic deconstruction in track 3 that pays homage to drill and bass pioneers.
The way the dusty jazz samples in track 1 dissolve into a jittery percussive grid.
The sudden appearance of a warm, shimmering melodic loop that anchors the chaos of track 5.
