Featured Works
GAN Art Showcase + DJ set (5th and 6th page)
My music draws inspiration from artists like Flume, Kasbo, Petit Biscuit, and Tourist, blending ethereal soundscapes with intricate electronic production. I'm particularly passionate about experimental sound design, with granular synthesis being one of my favorite techniques for creating atmospheric pads and textures. My work explores the space between melodic electronic music and experimental sound design, always pushing to find new and interesting ways to craft surprising yet pleasing sonic experiences.
