THE INSTRUMENTS

Meet the sounds behind the journeys.

A lingering note, a gentle rhythm, the wash of a wave. Each instrument brings a different texture to the sound experiences I create.

Ocean drum

Rolling · flowing · wave-like

Small beads move inside the drum as it tilts, creating a wash like the sea. The movement can be a quiet ripple or a fuller rolling wave.

A wooden chime and a seed shaker held side by side

Chimes

Light · bright · delicate

Small tuned metal elements ring as the chime moves. Their light, bell-like notes add delicate detail between longer sounds.

Seed shaker

Organic · textured · softly rhythmic

Dried seed shells touch as the instrument moves, producing a soft, textured rustle. A slow shake adds a gentle pulse alongside the longer notes.
