The Works

Crystalline digital textures meet complex harmonic structures. A polished, late-80s pop record hiding a restless, questioning heart beneath its shimmering surface.

It's what happens when a pop genius gets bored of the charts and starts writing jazz-chords for synthesizers.

A cold, shimmering digital landscape filled with intellectual curiosity and a touch of late-night melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The haunting, minor-key synth pads that open Elisabeth's Eyes, creating an immediate sense of isolation.

The rhythmic interplay between the slapped bass and the sharp, digital percussion on One World.

The sudden shift from the airy verses to the more urgent, harmonized chorus of Walkabout.
