Music
Three distinct projects, each occupying a different part of the spectrum between acoustic and electronic, between song and sound design. Trippy without being psychedelic. Organic without being nostalgic.
The Slow Sink
Songwriting & CompositionThe most personal project. A blend of acoustic and synthesized sound built around songwriting and authentic connection. Influenced by the indie music of the early 2000s, the independent underground of the 1990s, and a range of electronic and avant-garde acts. Guitar, bass, keys, analog synthesis, and audio engineering — all of it in service of a song.
Releases coming soon.
Matthew Ashed
ElectronicThe electronic alias. Purely synthesized, dance-oriented and headphone-oriented in equal measure. More machine, less song — but still driven by the same hunger for something that lands.

- My Dear Friend (2019)
- Huh, You Said (2019)
- Longing (2019)
Constraints
AmbientThe ambient project. Limitation as a compositional force — wide, slow, and immersive. Music for spaces and states of mind rather than for stages.
- High Altitude Spaces (published as Field of Streams — rebrand in progress)
