Space

drones, ambiences, stretched textures

Method

Recordings made on a smartphone are treated as the primary musical material.

Piano, environment, and noise are recorded and transformed into instruments, textures, percussion, drones, and compositions. The method values constraint, limitation, and the freedom of depth borne out of that.

Note

An interactive archive map is in development.
