Macrogramma :: Magnetic Series (Lᴏɴᴛᴀɴᴏ Series)
For Macrogramma, the medium evidently brings with it, more than nostalgia’s facile allure, in contrast to digital’s infinite possibility, an intransigence forcing definitive choices.
2View :: Sounding Boards — Skytree, Zachary Gray
There’s red line, thin, but distinct, between different kinds of sounding—between soundalike and sound like, resemblance and redolence, imitation and influence; thus, though sometimes end products may sound similar, in essence they differ crucially.
2view :: Tapes and Topographies :: Plumage (Lontano Series) & Rudiments (Simulacra)

All in all, this personal take on the quiet details concept exhibits a deftly turned lower-case sound design prowess that bespeaks years of audio craftsmanship, constituting a compelling entry to a growing catalog.
Field Lines Cartographer :: Portable Reality Generator (DiN)
The modular maven channels something of an early TD sound-feel via post-Kosmische textures, motifs, and rhythms; new projections in the head cinema, strangely familiar, yet otherworldly.
