What happens when kankyo ongaku meets musique concrete? "Inorganic Nature" explores the juxtaposition and harmony between environmental recordings, sonic artifacts, sustained soundscapes, and spontaneous microsounds.

Production:
Field recordings were gathered during one spring outing to the local botanic park. Microsound collage created in the Max/MSP software, where I utilized frequency modulation, bit-crush, comb filter, and allpass filter to transform simple sine waves into complex microsounds. Ambient soundscapes synthesized using MassiveX. Postprocessing (panning, EQ, compression) added in Ableton Live.
