Guest Post: 4Culture-Funded Artist TORLEY’s Sonic Adventures

Friendly greetings! I’m TORLEY, and I make sonic science fiction that explores the expressive edges of electronic music, blending contemporary synthesis with classical techniques. My focus is more on the aesthetic approach behind my craft than adhering to any one “style”.

When it’s not, drops will begin to fall inside the column, with the same quality and intensity as the most recent rainfall.
