Season 2
Working alongside David Buckley, I contributed to shaping the sonic palette of the second season.
Sound design and Kontakt instruments I helped build have also found their way into film and television, including The Sandman and Castlevania on Netflix.
IN USE / CASTLEVANIA
“One of the scores that inspired me was The Lighthouse by Mark Korven. I searched for sounds that were similar to the score of The Lighthouse and immediately found a patch named Lighthouse in Emergence Audio's Clarinet Textures. It was both inspiring and playable. It had nuance, texture, and it evolved. It was playable, everything that I needed.”

SOUNDSPHAT / RELEASED
Cassiopeia began with the vision of Grammy-nominated producer and composer Christian Beat Hirt, developed over more than two years with a small, highly creative team.
VIEW CASSIOPEIA ↗ROLE / ENGINE DEVELOPMENT
My role was to develop the engine at the centre of the instrument, a four-layer system built for deep sound design with a high level of detailed control for the end user.
The architecture combines multi-sampled sources with custom wavetables, modulation, granular processing, harmonics and an extensive XY system. Around it sit arpeggiation, randomization, chord tools, effects and filters, all designed to remain flexible without losing immediacy.
The goal throughout development was to make something powerful without making it feel technical. Sounds can evolve, move, morph and be reshaped in detail while the instrument stays musical and immediate to use.




Behind the engine is a vast source library drawn from more than 30 analog synthesizers, over 250 acoustic instruments, voices, choirs, environmental recordings and thousands of shaped sounds. After more than two years of development, Cassiopeia is now released by Soundsphat.
VIEW CASSIOPEIA ↗EMERGENCE AUDIO
With Emergence Audio, my work has centred on refining and maintaining the Infinite Motion Engine series, developing deep NKS integration across the Native Instruments hardware and software ecosystem.
The Infinite Motion Engine is built around movement. Sounds evolve rather than repeat, allowing ambient textures, drones and cinematic material to stay alive over time. My work has included polishing existing functionality, implementing new refinements, designing snapshots, and creating a smoother NKS experience for direct access through Native Instruments hardware and software.



SONORA CINEMATIC
With Sonora Cinematic, my work has moved between instruments built around voice, guitar, texture and movement. Different sources share the same intention. I want to leave enough space for a sound to become something else.
HARMONIC BLOOM
Harmonic Bloom turns noise into musical material, extracting harmonics and combining them with sampled instruments, guitars, synthesis and processed acoustic sources. The result sits somewhere between instrument and atmosphere, with room for evolving pads, unusual tones and personal material imported by the player.

EMMA LEGATO
Built around the soprano voice of Emma May Price, Emma Legato focuses on realistic true legato, humming, soft vibrato and open vowels. It is an intimate instrument, made for melodic lines that need to remain human inside a cinematic space.

ARIA VOCALSCAPES
Aria Vocalscapes takes traditional aah and mmh performances into a more abstract place. Processed vocals, dual layers, XY movement, modulation and effects turn the voice into evolving pads, haunting atmospheres and ethereal soundscapes.


PANORAMA GUITARS
Panorama Guitars draws from post-rock and shoegaze, combining electric, baritone and bass guitars with fuzz, ambience, evolving pads and processed textures. The instrument moves easily from guitar to atmosphere, leaving space for emotional scoring, ambient music and cinematic rock.


AVA MUSIC GROUP
For AVA Music Group, my work moved closer to the architecture of the instrument itself. I created and developed the systems behind PRISM, UNITY and Kick Designer, each built around a different way of reaching a sound quickly without removing the possibility of going deeper.
PRISM begins with the kit. Its characteristic triangle becomes the centre of the instrument, allowing different parts of the drum world to be selected and shaped quickly. The idea was immediacy, with a focused drum aesthetic that does not require hours of building from the ground up.

UNITY begins with three sources. Processed samples, hardware-inspired material and texture can be layered into a single sound, then pushed further through synthesis and processing. The engine was designed to make complex sounds feel immediate.

Kick Designer reduces the kick drum to three essential layers, sub, body and transient. Acoustic drums, analog machines and 808s can be combined into a single low-end voice, then shaped through processing, mastering tools and controlled randomization. The goal is to arrive at the right kick before the idea disappears.

EDU PRADO SOUNDS
Working with Grammy-nominated audio engineer Edu Prado, I developed a reusable Kontakt engine designed to carry different instruments over time.
The architecture was built so that musical material, visual elements and instrument-specific controls could be swapped without rebuilding the system from zero. The result is a faster path from one release to the next, while keeping the underlying instrument coherent.




EVOLUTION SERIES
For Evolution Series, I worked on the development of the engine behind World Strings Harp.
World Strings Harp moves between the familiar and the less expected. Traditional performances, glissandi, plucks and harmonics sit beside prepared and experimental textures, allowing the same instrument to move from orchestral writing into atmosphere and sound design.
ROLE Engine Development

SELECTED DEVELOPMENT / TEMPEST AUDIO
This one asked for a different kind of development and turned an orchestra into geometry.
A circle is divided into sixteen segments, each one assigned to an orchestral instrument. The XY cursor moves through that map, continuously crossfading from one instrument to the next. The larger circle is also organised into four orchestral families, so a single gesture can travel through individual instruments and broader colours.
My work focused on the development logic behind that movement and the interaction that makes the transitions feel continuous.

2023
Pasiphae is a record by renowned pianist and composer Alexandra Papastefanou, setting the poetry of Miltos Sachtouris to music. It marks the first time a broader body of his work has been brought together and recorded in this form.
The record resists a single musical label. The arrangements move from synth-pop to progressive jazz, sometimes within the same world, creating a different way into Sachtouris' dark and surreal poetry.
