Album
Afterfield is a dark ambient EP that brings together several directions from my current work. Built around sustained drones, minimal synth layers, and subtle analog texture, the release explores atmosphere, scale, and emotional residue rather than traditional song structure. This EP functions as a small, exploratory release. Some tracks are sparse and static, others introduce melody or movement, giving a sense of the range I am developing rather than a single, locked concept.
Software
Driftloom is a playable stereo effect for cinematic and ambient music. Place it after a synth, guitar, microphone, hardware return, or sampler and turn live performances into evolving pitch clouds, textured drones, and atmospheric movement.
Note
Driftloom is a stereo pitch-and-texture effect for turning instruments, hardware, and recordings into playable cinematic and ambient sound worlds.
Software
Configure a sampling pass, export a MIDI guide, capture your instrument, clean the WAVs, map the notes, and export a shareable Decent Sampler library.
Software
Turn dry synth leads and plucked textures into expressive guitar-inspired sounds with pickup voicing, pick attack, sustain damping, DI blend, and a compact amp section.
Software
Record, layer, route, and perform MIDI loops across your hardware rig — without opening a DAW.
