About Me

rustling walks on leaves of yesterday
chanting whispers of bashful longing winds
rocking cradles of unfinished lullabies
singing songs through quiet finger tips

sonicbrat is a musical exploration of sound designer and composer darren ng, mixing acoustics with electro-acoustic instrumentation and found sounds through sampling and field recordings.
