Music Production
I primarily collaborate with singers and artists, handling the entire production process from track making and arrangement to mixing and mastering.
In vocal projects, I work closely with artists from the stage of sharing concepts and atmosphere, supporting the creative process through to the final completion of the piece.
I have worked on productions with hamana (including “overkill”), as well as providing music for various projects and MV-related sound production, covering everything from initial track creation to the final mix. In addition to music production, I can also create music videos, allowing me to support projects both sonically and visually.
I place importance on shaping each work in a way that respects and enhances the artist’s individuality and unique artistic vision.
Personal Works
Self-released works including albums and tracks are continuously produced and published.
Working primarily with electronic music, the practice explores ambient textures, rhythmic structures, and elements of improvisation and chance.
Rather than focusing on fixed compositions, the work approaches sound as an abstract medium, developing pieces that engage with space, perception, and inner states through an ongoing process of experimentation.

Illustration
I create hand-drawn illustrations with a soft, picture-book-like style.
Alongside my music work, I design visual pieces such as album cover artworks and event flyers, focusing on expressing the mood and atmosphere of each project.
I have worked on album artwork and visual materials for artists and events.
