Sound in other forms.

Installations, film scores, and live performances — the work that happens outside the record. One at a time, the way it was made.

Nocturne

Film score2024with Mira Santoso

An original score for a short film about memory and returning home — four cues built from detuned piano, tape hiss, and one abandoned field recording of a rainstorm, mixed close so the watching room breathes with the story.

Tide Memory

Live performance2023with Studio Pasang

A live audiovisual performance about coastlines that keep changing — two synths, taped gravel and projected maps drift against each other, while the noise of the playing room quietly reshapes the picture.
