ABOUT

I don't start with a plan. I sit down with synthesizers and just explore what sounds good. As I'm working, certain harmonies and chord progressions start triggering feelings—sometimes memories, sometimes imagined scenes. That's when the music tells me what it's actually about. I follow that thread and build everything around whatever emotion is emerging.

I feel things intensely. Music, light, mood, atmosphere—it all hits harder for me than I think it does for most people. That sensitivity is probably why I connect sounds to emotions so strongly. A chord progression doesn't just sound pleasant, it feels like something specific.

What comes out tends to be melancholy synth pieces and retrofuture soundscapes, music for feelings and places that don't have easy names. Also sometimes pig-themed EDM, because my brain contains multitudes and not everything needs to be serious.

If you've ever felt like you experience the world at a different intensity than everyone else, or like you're tuned to frequencies other people don't notice—this music might make sense to you.
