rilles




rille /ril,ˈrilə/ -- noun (astronomy): a fissure or narrow channel on the moon’s surface.

rilles is the name under which i release alternative electronic music at the intersection of downtempo, dream pop, ambient, and trip-hop. i work with analog and digital instruments and production techniques -- think synthesizers and tape loops, along with guitars, cello, and whatever i can make happen in ableton live -- and aim to create left-of-center electronic music that opens new worlds. i’m always working on learning something new (currently the elektron syntakt and my small eurorack setup), and i love when “mistakes” find their way into finished songs.

i’ve always been interested in space (hence the adopted name for this project), and my first project, Satellite Bird, is something of a concept album that tells the story of a first-time astronaut’s journey in space. take a listen here:
