TRANSMUTATIONS (2025)
“12 tracks that vary from lush, intergalactic soundscapes to brief, staccato bursts of flute. [...] It’s an album filled with sonic possibilities, stretching the limits of what someone can do with an instrument and accompanying digital techniques. It’s the sound of technology, imbued with a distinct, deep warmth.”
