Honored to be on here next to some incredible sound designers!

The Witches of Wederra Keep is my first time working with sound. I've learned so much about the craft and my own artistic sense.

Extra deep thanks to Julian Hunold doing mixing and mastering, and Greve Studios where we recorded.

Is it better to be free in body or mind? I can say remove the chains from my body, it might be easier. How much effort does it take to unbind the imagination?

@anninakaski.bsky.social Do you venture to assist my counterpart in escape? Good luck. The walls of their prison are built from power, their chains carry the crushing weight of expectation.
