The process

Cato composes long-form ambient for sleep apps, galleries and one very patient ferry terminal. He works in extended sessions, generating short seed textures and stretching them into hour-long beds with granular tools. His loudness and dynamics documentation for meditative audio has become the informal standard.

  1. 01

    Generate seeds, not songs

    Thirty-second textures only. Structure comes later, by hand.

  2. 02

    Stretch and layer

    Granular time-stretching turns seeds into hour-long beds. The model never hears the final form.

  3. 03

    Measure everything

    Sleep audio has hard loudness targets. Every delivery ships with a measurement report.
