L'Angle
The 2023 pivot, in my own words: how a Challenger player and an audiovisual designer turned out to be the same person.
One System
Everything ARKADATA makes runs on one engine and one method. Not four projects, one system, four times.
Cookodex
Min-maxing applied to cooking. A systems-first app, and proof the thinking travels outside audiovisual.
WordPress to Svelte
Tearing down the old WordPress site and rebuilding arkadata.com as a reactive system.
Origins
The 2015-2018 Yasuo streaming years, where the name came from, and closing the loop from player to creator.
Fifteen Monarks
A first-year brief asked for an inharmonic pad on Monark, a synth that can't make one. So I built additive by hand: fifteen instances, one partial each.
ARKITEKT / Gestalt
Building my own Reaper toolkit and a modular-rack engine, because owning the stack changes how you work.
reARK
Building the reARK skin from Affinity Designer: the export-scaling system, symbols, and the 150% aliasing problem. The template, documented.
Behind the Music
Adaptive scoring up close, and how it shaped the reactive sound I build.
Megata Kyojin Kuchiku
Reverse engineering Sawano Hiroyuki's lead synth from Shingeki No Kyojin using u-He Zebra.
Kanascene
Reproducing a Japanese orchestra piece by Sawano Hiroyuki with Cinematic Studio Strings.
