Out now: COLLABORRUPTION CLIMATATION : r&/oscfaapoadt by @dshappyboi which features a collab between the boi and myself

The album explores climate collapse under late-stage capitalism and what we need to collectively build in its place for a better world.

Some of my field recordings are on the latest episode of framework (episode #920, broadcast 16/2/2025).

Sounds were recorded in Belgium/Netherlands in August 2024 then sliced to emphasise interesting textures, and layered/rearranged to create new soundscapes.
