KOSS is an audio/visual album built between 2024–2025 — a study in collapsing the boundary between image and sound.
The project exists as both a musical body of work and a photographic series. Each image functions as a sound source. Each sound functions as a visual structure. Rather than treating photography and music as separate outputs, KOSS treats them as one shared frequency field.
All compositions were processed using AudioFX — phasers, flangers, reverb — applied not only to sound, but conceptually to image.
I extracted frequency data, vibration patterns, and harmonic tables from environments across Rekyjavik, Østlandet, Stockholm and British Columbia. These frequencies were converted into synthesized instruments. Raw data was translated into visual distortion. Images were reconstructed from sound. Sound was reconstructed from image.
The photographs in KOSS are original studio works, acting as anchors within the project’s sonic architecture. They are not documentation — they are instruments.
For one of the images — and for the main album cover — I photographed Bladee’s Good Luck coin. The object operates as both cultural artifact and frequency surface. Through lighting, texture capture, and signal manipulation, the coin becomes more than a symbol — it becomes a transmitter within the project’s system. Its metallic surface holds light the way reverb holds space. It reflects, distorts, and returns information.
Here are some selected photographs featured in KOSS.
