• editing and timing adjustments
• clip gain and dynamic shaping
• noise reduction and artifact repair
• preparation for final mix

The project explores a minimal and atmospheric sonic aesthetic, combining subtle textures, spatial ambience and music-driven storytelling.
This piece reflects my approach to sound: shaping emotion and rhythm while supporting the visual narrative.
