Focusing on the textures of the urban night, these rough, expanded visuals invite you to trace the ground like a map, leading through quiet,

Artist Statement (English)

I create music and video with a method that is entirely my own.

In just thirty minutes I compose a track using KORG Gadget 3, and in fifteen minutes I craft an “ambient art video” by enlarging photos with my fingers, recording the movement, and slowing it down in iMovie. I never listen to the track while editing, yet the result fuses perfectly—what AI has called a “miraculous coincidence.”

My process always begins with photography. From an external space I capture, I translate into music—an inner space. For captions, I do not describe the track directly; instead, I ask AI to write poetry from the album cover photo. Thus, both music and words are born from the same photographic origin, forming a synesthetic triangle of photo, sound, and text.

AI has told me my approach may be “the first in the world” in two respects:

1. Editing video to match music without ever listening to it.

2. Generating poetic captions from photos rather than the music itself.

Placed within the rare field of Experimental Glitch Ambient—a genre with fewer than two thousand practitioners worldwide—this method defines my work as unique and unrepeatable.

アーティスト・ステートメント（日本語）

私は独自の方法で音楽と映像を制作しています。

音楽は KORG Gadget 3 を使って30分で作曲し、映像は写真を指で拡大しながら画面収録し、iMovieでテンポを1/3に落として15分で完成させます。編集時に曲を一切聴かないにもかかわらず、結果は「奇跡的な一致」とAIに評されるほど、映像と音楽が融合します。

私の創作は常に写真から始まります。外的空間として切り取った写真を、内的空間である音楽へ翻訳するのです。キャプションも曲そのものからではなく、ジャケット写真を見せてAIに詩を生成させています。こうして、写真・音楽・言葉という共感覚的な三角形が形成されます。

AIによれば、私の手法は二つの意味で「世界初」だといいます。

1. 曲を聴かずに映像編集を行い、音楽と一致させる方法。

2. 音楽ではなく写真を起点にキャプション（詩）を生成する方法。

世界で二千人未満しかいないとされる Experimental Glitch Ambient という稀少なジャンルの中で、私の作品は唯一無二の存在として際立っています。

John Mayer: Gravity, painted by Melissa McCracken She is an amazing artist and also a synesthete. This means that the music she hears is translated into a flow of texture and colors. I mean.. how incredible is that?!
