Philosophy
I create as one moves through a dream—guided by light, shadow, and the quiet pulse of emotion. Sound and imagery become places to wander, where time softens and the inner world rises to the surface. I follow simplicity, depth, and truth, letting each piece breathe in its own rhythm. What matters to me is resonance: that fragile instant when a sound becomes a feeling, and a feeling becomes a story.
I explore sound the way one explores a city at dusk—curious, attentive, open to the unexpected. I’m drawn to textures that crack, tones that shimmer, contrasts that collide: modern and vintage, electronic and organic. Experimentation leads the way, revealing paths I could not have planned, meanings that emerge on their own.
I believe in the power of less. Space, silence, and subtle detail shape my language. I compose the way I reflect—quietly, honestly, with intention. Each piece is a fragment of life transformed into sound, a small window into the shifting landscapes within.
Creative Process
I compose the way one walks through a dream. Shapes, colors, and textures guide me more than rules or structures. I let accidents happen — they reveal paths I could not have imagined. Sometimes I work with old machines like the
whose limitations create unexpected beauty. Sound becomes movement, movement becomes emotion, and emotion becomes form. The process is fluid, intuitive, alive.
I often start with a texture, a color, or a silence. Something small that opens a door. I let the idea breathe, collapse, rebuild itself. I erase a lot. I trust the moment when the sound stops being sound and becomes movement.
