PERGAMON - An Archeological EP

"Pergamon" is a concept-driven audio project inspired by the immersive spaces of the Pergamon Museum in Berlin. I composed four original pieces, each crafted for a specific room of the museum, turning ancient themes into immersive musical storytelling.

As part of this project, I conducted extensive historical and contextual research to understand the cultural weight of each exhibit. From this, I composed and designed original sonic environments that echo the emotional and spatial essence of each room. These are not just compositions — they are soundscapes built with intention, blending tonal storytelling with textured design.

One of the key creative aspects of the EP was the creation of custom sounds — including the construction of a physical ancient-style def (frame drum), handcrafted and recorded to authentically integrate percussive elements that evoke the rituals and rhythms of the past.

To complement the EP, I produced a documentary-style music video filmed inside the museum itself. The result is a fully immersive audiovisual experience that fuses experimental sound design, historical narrative, and visual art — offering listeners a modern reflection on ancient worlds.

Sound Design for MegaByte

This was a second-semester project at SAE Institute, focused on sound design for an animated scene. I created most of the sounds using foley recording techniques, carefully layering and editing to bring the visuals to life.

Highlights of the process include recording and manipulating my own sounds to design the robot’s voice and movements, and building multi-layered effects for power tools and mechanical elements. The entire project was produced and mixed in Pro Tools, showcasing both technical precision and creative sound development.

PERGAMON - DESIGNED SOUNDS

A variety of custom-designed sounds were created for the EP using techniques such as layering, recording, and pitch shifting — each tailored to fit the mood and structure of individual tracks. All sound design and production were done in Ableton Live.
