Signal Chain

Inside the Session

The toolkit PDF documents this exact chain — every plugin, every setting, every decision. Reproducible craft.

Phase 01 · Capture

Field Recording

Every texture starts with a real-world source. Binaural rigs, contact mics, hydrophones. The stranger the placement, the richer the material.

Tools Used
Sound Devices MixPre-10DPA 4060 BinauralTrance Audio Inducer
Phase 02 · Deconstruct

Spectral Analysis

Every recording is dissected frequency by frequency. I find the hidden harmonics, the ghost resonances that most engineers would EQ out.

Tools Used
iZotope RX 10Spear Spectral EditorIzotope Insight 2
Phase 03 · Sculpt

Granular Synthesis

The source is atomized into grains, repositioned in time, pitch-shifted beyond recognition. A raindrop becomes a reverb tail. A door hinge becomes a cello.

Tools Used
Reaktor 6 PrismAbleton Granulator IIIStutter Edit 2
Phase 04 · Space

Convolution & Room

Impulse responses from real spaces — cathedrals, shipping containers, anechoic chambers. The space becomes part of the texture, not just reverb.
