The best settings feel
as though they existed
long before we found them

I’m fascinated by the details that make a story feel larger than what appears on the page or screen: half-remembered songs, local legends, old rituals, and histories that continue beyond its edges.

Whether I’m creating an album of my own or collaborating with a writer, filmmaker, or game designer, I approach music as part of that deeper history.  It shouldn’t simply accompany the story, but feel drawn from within it—music with its own memory, its own point of view, and the sense that it has always belonged there.
