I’m a passionate music producer and sound designer with a love for creating unique sonic landscapes. I’ve been producing music for over five years, focusing on genres like ambient, drum and bass, and experimental electronica. My setup includes a mix of hardware synths, DAWs, and a growing collection of custom samples and presets I’ve designed myself.

Hi, could you send me the multitracks of Overgrown by King Bloom?

still swinging.
love piles up so high; I'm winging.
I have to still myself
My might is all I have
I see everything in focus
the locus and the orbiters
the perfect system working----
any color sky
rare scents are mine
smooth skin shines luridly.
I block my eye at the tattooed waiter
she eyes me. I'm still alive
