Frequencies is the SonalSystem editorial channel — a series of in-depth conversations with the composers, sound designers, and producers who operate at the intersection of technology and craft.

These are not press releases. Each dispatch goes deep into Process, Tools, and Aesthetic Philosophy — the decisions behind the work, not just the work itself.
