1st EP “Blue in Blue“

A four-part sonic dialogue inspired by the color blue.
Created in collaboration with Runa Ikeda, Blue in Blue explores the elusive nature of blue—its presence in sea, sky, and night, and its intangible longing. Each chapter reflects a personal interpretation, unfolding as layered sound textures that blur perception. Originally accompanying Runa Ikeda’s solo exhibition at Mommsen 35, Berlin, the project was released on digital and limited-edition cassette tape.

2nd EP “Nox“

An ode to the night and its shifting moods.
Nox began as a single track on SoundCloud in 2020 and later evolved into a trilogy. Minimal yet emotionally resonant, the work contemplates nights that soothe, isolate, and overwhelm—a sonic journey through darkness, memory, and fragile stillness. Released on digital and cassette tape.

3rd EP “Empty set“

A study on repetition and presence.
Returning to collaboration with Runa Ikeda, Empty Set revolves around loops—both in sound and in life. Independent creative processes led to surprising synchronicities, woven with organic elements like breath and heartbeat. The result is an introspective collection balancing presence and absence. Released on digital and cassette tape.
