sndmuskohale

sndmuskohale is a contemporary experimental music and sound art project that has operated under a degree of anonymity since its emergence in the early 2010s. The project is characterized by a blend of ambient textures, glitch, and field recordings, and it often combines sound with visual or spatial installations. The creator utilizes found sounds, modular synthesis, and generative processes to craft immersive environments in which time and space are as important as melody. Live performances frequently integrate audiovisual installations and audience-responsive elements, encouraging active listening and physical engagement with the sound space.

Critical reception notes the work as deliberately immersive and sculptural, emphasizing texture and duration over conventional song structures. Releases have appeared on independent labels and circulated through art venues and online platforms, contributing to a niche but devoted audience for experimental sound art.

Notable works include the 2015 EP Echoes of the In-Between; the 2018 installation series Rooms of Quiet Noise; and the 2021 album Dust, Echo, and Silence. Collaborations with visual artists and other experimental musicians have expanded the project’s multidisciplinary scope, often exploring themes of memory, urban acousmatics, and the invisibility of everyday sounds.
