Happy new year! Let's kick off 2026 with some frogs 🐸 Here's a composition built from the sounds of frogs at midnight in Goa. Each instrument becomes a voice joining in with the frogs’ calls, creating a melodic bed that reflects on the beauty of nature’s large-scale gatherings of animals. Enjoy!

Stoked to have my piece “Ember” included in @citiesandmemory.bsky.social Sounds of the Year compilation. I had a blast working on the piece based around an inspiring field recording from Rafael Diogo. An amazing collection of artists and pieces.
