Plastic Monolith, the track was selected to define the atmosphere, pacing, and artistic direction of the brand’s collection.

Cloudscape

This hypnotic techno composition translates the vastness of never-ending dusk into deep, layered textures and a collaborative voiceover by Pardis. The project marks a pivotal integration of psychogeography into my production, capturing the unique sonic identity of a new environment.
