I am a Berlin-based composer and sound artist working across ambient, cinematic and spatial sound practices. My work focuses on atmosphere, pacing and emotional nuance, often using a combination of piano, subtle electronics and field textures to create sound that supports visual and narrative contexts. Rather than foregrounding spectacle, I am interested in how sound can quietly shape perception and guide the listener’s sense of space and mood. Alongside my solo practice, I collaborate in interdisciplinary settings including fashion presentations, installation works and visual projects. In 2025 I composed the original soundtrack for a runway show by Daniel Kujawa at Berlin Fashion Week. I am particularly interested in projects where sound is treated as part of the overall environment — whether for film, exhibitions or brand work — and enjoy working closely with directors and creatives to develop a cohesive sonic identity.

    uniE603 Art and Sound installation "Empty set" collaboration project with Runa Ikeda
    Empty set extends Shinichiro Ikeda’s ongoing dialogue with Runa Ikeda, exploring the concept of repetition—an eternal theme mirrored in the loops of life. Across five tracks, both artists created independently, later discovering surprising synchronicities within their work. Incorporating organic recordings such as breathing, heartbeats, and process-generated sounds, this project blurs the line between body and sound, presence and absence. In February 2025, this project evolved into the joint exhibition “Empty set – Art and Sound Installation” at Mommsen35 in Berlin. Shinichiro Ikeda presented “Empty set – zero”, an immersive Dolby Atmos (7.1.4) installation integrated with Runa Ikeda’s visual environment, with Atmos mixing handled by Ikeda himself. This marks a bold intersection of sonic architecture and spatial art. music instrumental installation ambient fieldrecording composer producer
    uniE603 Daniel Kujawa Berlin fashion week 2025 -Urge for Solitude-
    In 2025, I composed the original soundtrack for Urge for Solitude, a runway presentation by fashion designer Daniel Kujawa at Berlin Fashion Week. The music was conceived as an integral part of the show’s narrative, shaping the emotional pacing and spatial atmosphere of the collection. Rather than functioning as background, the composition acted as a sonic framework that supported movement, texture and presence on the runway. The score was developed using a vintage Pianet electric piano, analog and digital synthesizers, field recordings and fragments of Daniel Kujawa’s voice. These elements were layered to create a restrained yet immersive sonic environment that reflected the introspective tone of the collection. Created in close dialogue with the visual direction, the work contributed to a cohesive and contemplative live experience. music instrumental soundtrack master experimental ambient runway fashion fashion week
