A diptych of instrumental works conceptualized around a multifaceted society of molerats— one that is at times whimsical and joyous, and other times, often contemplative and gloomy.

Introducing…

Where to find your digs in a molerat society

The first installment in the series, boasting tightly written and produced tracks that are designed to emotionally engage the listener throughout.

A paradise for the weary workers of the underground

A club for the more rambunctious and reckless rats…

A moment of emotional catharsis

Much more stripped back and experiential compared to its counterpart, Volume Beta takes us through the more natural corners of the molerats’ world. Stunning crystalline caves and cramped, anxious passageways compliment the emotional core at the heart of these projects.

A molerat society: Volume Beta

A beautifully ephemeral prelude

A delirious portrait of a slumberous trance

A lullaby for the lovers of the rotund mineral mimetite

These albums began as an exercise in composition— a way to get my first steps into the world of producing music for films, television, video games, etc. If what you hear interests you and you’re looking for a composer for your next project, feel free to reach out through any of contact information below!
