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.
- 01
Generate seeds, not songs
Thirty-second textures only. Structure comes later, by hand.
- 02
Stretch and layer
Granular time-stretching turns seeds into hour-long beds. The model never hears the final form.
- 03
Measure everything
Sleep audio has hard loudness targets. Every delivery ships with a measurement report.
