This piece was inspired by cloudy overcast days that are not gloomy, but instead - strangely cozy and comforting. It's about finding warmth in the melancholy and finding beauty in the chaos. 

It's inspired by my two current obsessions: organs and the Elgar cello concerto. I'm fascinated by the oscillating quality of the organ's sound, which I have tried to emulate using a synthesiser (Deckhard's Dream). The water-like soundscape was created with a granular synthesiser used in conjunction with a synthesiser (Moog DFAM?)

The 3rd movement of Elgar's cello concerto for me conjures the imagery of death and transcendence; of a person's soul leaving this world and floating up towards the blinding sun in a delirious catharsis. It's one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever played, and I wanted to bring that sense of a blissful fever-dream to this piece.

이 곡은 세종시문화관광재단이 주최한 한글복합문화 공간 ‘한글상점’에서 활용될 목적으로 제작되었습니다.

28가지 한글 자모의 창의적 조합처럼 전자음악 일렉트로니카, 앰비언트, 익스페리멘탈 장르에 한국 전통 악기를 더해 현대적으로 해석한 음악입니다.

‘슈퍼 히읗’은 한글의 조합 원리를 소리로 확장한 실험적인 사운드 프로젝트로 28마디마다 등장하는 11가지 한국 전통 악기(아쟁, 앙금, 장구, 편종, 대금, 견고, 단소, 퉁소, 방울, 가야금, 거문고)를 그래뉼라 신디사이저와 리샘플링을 통해 재해석하였습니다.

'수퍼 히읗' was composed for Hangeul Shop (한글상점), a cultural venue that is operated by the Sejong Culture and Tourism Foundation.

This track combines traditional Korean instruments with contemporary electronic styles, including electronica, ambient, and experimental music, as a result of the inventive combinations of the 28 Korean Hangeul characters.

It is an experimental sound production that reimagines the logic of Hangeul in audio format.
Every 28 bars, 11 different traditional instruments — including ajaeng, angum, janggu, pyeonjong, daegeum, gyeongo, danso, tungso, bells, gayageum, and geomungo — are transformed using granular synthesis and resampling, creating a soundscape where the familiar and the unfamiliar coexist.

This is the last track on my new EP for the r/DungeonSynth "Dungeon Shamble" event. The main water dripping sound is actually a low pizz. string section being fucked with using granular synthesis (the free Argotlunar VST)

The Subterranean Inhabitants

He walks alone, no sound behind
Shadow in the corner of my mind
Eyes like dawn, but never stay
He looks, he turns, he fades away

That mysterious man, driftin’ slow
No one knows where he will go
Just a hum beneath the sand
That mysterious man

He hums a tune with no refrain
Soft as smoke, sweet as rain
Leaves no mark, leaves no name
Still the air won’t feel the same

That mysterious man, driftin’ slow
No one knows where he will go
Just a hum beneath the sand
That mysterious man

Maybe he’s dream, maybe he’s me
Something between sky and sea
Don’t chase, don’t plan
Just feel — that mysterious man

He’s gone again, soft and thin
Like the wind that won’t begin
Still I stand, open hand
That mysterious man

That mysterious man

The lights flicker over the altar of plates
Sauce red like the oath we never betrayed
Billboards chant softly in the corner of the room
Cranberry blood drips down in the bloom

We gather round the feast as the screens recite
“Buy more, consume more” in the flicker of light
Hands stained crimson while we raise the toast
We worship the brand but we fear the ghost
Rituals set in motion by the ad voice’s call
We kneel before cupboards overflowing the hall
Feast for the many, hunger for the one
Sacrifice hidden under the barrel of fun
The cranberry stain on our fingers and pride
Marks the covenant where the truth died
We’re sacrificial lambs to the economy’s altar
Feeding the void while the watchers won’t falter

Cranberry blood on the hands of the feast
Pubs reciting prayers to the hungry beast
Offerings given at the altar of want
We consume our soul and the servers won’t stop

Cart after cart sliding down the neon aisle
We fill up the temple though we lost the smile
The sauce runs thick like the truth we deny
Screens preach gospel but the souls stay dry
Our shadows grow long in the glow of the fridge
We trade our tomorrow for the packaged privilege
The feast’s never over, the hunger remains
We wear the indulgence but the belt still strains
The cranberry runs cold on the finger of time
We toast to the surplus, drown in the rhyme
The ads whisper softly “you deserve this night”
While our hearts tick empty in the absence of light

Cranberry blood on the hands of the feast
Pubs reciting prayers to the hungry beast
Offerings given at the altar of want
We consume our soul and the servers won’t stop

Chimneys of waste climb where the feast once stood
We cleared the shelves but we drained the blood
The altar’s now empty, the worship continues
We chant the slogans, collect the venues
Sauce on the porcelain, the red still clings
We walk out laden, but inside we’re thin
The prayers of commercials echo in our mind
We offered our hunger and left the bind
Consumption turned sacred, the ritual defined
We feast on the plenty and leave the spine
The screens flicker off but the hunger stays loud
We bow to the billboards, lost in the crowd

Cranberry blood on the hands of the feast
Pubs reciting prayers to the hungry beast
Offerings given at the altar of want
We consume our soul and the servers won’t stop

Sauce drips slowly on the empty plate
The ritual ends but the hunger won’t wait
Cranberry blood, memory of the feast
We walked from the altar but the hunger increased

Days Gone By

The entire sound is in my hands. I write cyber poetry, produce, and compose every track ready for Immersive 3D. Every beat is crafted for spatial and next-gen headphones.
Intimate lyrics, total immersion, every track.

For 30 years I kept unfinished demos to myself, never letting them out. Now I finish what I start and release it the moment it’s alive.

I use every tool available, human or machine, as an instrument.
Technology doesn’t replace creativity. It expands it.
