This EP is the result of a creative collaboration with two talented music producers, blending diverse perspectives to craft a cohesive and dynamic sound. The production process took place in the NEVE studio (SAE Byron Bay), utilising its renowned equipment to achieve professional-quality recordings.

Pre-production involved detailed planning and song arrangement, laying the foundation for the EP's creative direction. Innovative sound design techniques were implemented to add depth and character to the tracks, while the mixing and mastering were finalised at Sound Cave, SAE Byron Bay, ensuring a polished and impactful finish.

The EP was presented publicly as part of a project, with references and research integrated to provide a deeper understanding of the creative and technical process behind its creation.

This collection showcases my expertise in crafting authentic lo-fi hip-hop beats, blending nostalgic textures with modern production techniques. Each beat features layered vinyl crackle, carefully programmed drum patterns, and soulful melodic elements, creating immersive soundscapes perfect for lyricists or standalone listening.

This collection highlights my ability to combine creativity and technical skill, delivering beats with rich textures and timeless appeal.

‘REALiSE’ is a lo-fi hip-hop track inspired by Portishead’s Strangers, designed to highlight my skills in sampling, beat-making, and collaborative production. The track features layered vinyl crackle, original drumlines, and vocal hooks sampled and arranged to create a textured, nostalgic soundscape.

To elevate the composition, I integrated unique samples from a custom sound pack, adding depth with bass, bells, and voice textures. A standout feature of the project is a dynamic collaboration with lyricist Benji, whose vocals were recorded and mixed in the SLL Studio Sydney SAE, with automation applied for polished, professional results.

This collection showcases my expertise in crafting dynamic synth-pop tracks, blending nostalgic melodies with modern production techniques.

Each track features a driving four-to-the-floor rhythm, delivering the timeless pulse of classic synth-pop while maintaining a fresh and contemporary feel. Layered with powerful bass lines that inject energy and momentum, anchoring the compositions.

Thoughtfully structured intros, featuring elements like hand claps, piano, and hi-hats, build anticipation and seamlessly transition into dynamic bass drops, giving each track a sense of evolution and connection. This collection highlights my ability to fuse melodic elements, rhythmic precision, and emotional resonance, creating synth-pop tracks that captivate and energise listeners.

In my reimagined score for Ori and the Blind Forest, I blend the natural beauty of ambient soundscapes with the emotional depth of orchestral instrumentation. Inspired by the game's mystical fantasy forest setting, I incorporate nature samples like birdsong alongside shimmering pads, long drones, and cosmic textures to evoke a sense of wonder and otherworldliness.

To maintain the cinematic feel, I weave in orchestral elements such as harps and flutes during serene moments, enhancing the magical themes. For tense scenes, I utilize Timpani drums, dissonant strings, and pulsing rhythms to heighten suspense and immerse the player fully in the game’s dynamic narrative.

Adding vocals to the score brings a human touch to the ethereal soundscape, further enriching the emotional experience. My aim is to craft a sonic world that captures the spirit of Ori and the Blind Forest, merging fantasy and reality to enhance the player's connection to the game.
