swanasa works with sound as a slow immersion. Her practice unfolds through ambient and drone-based structures, shaped by field recordings, analogue tones and finely detailed digital processing. Organic traces — air, resonance, distant movement — settle into synthetic layers, forming environments where duration feels stretched and tactile. She describes her approach as “shaping time into space,” guided by interests in totemism, Jungian psychology and Taoist philosophy, where sound becomes both landscape and interior reflection.

Her debut EP when you need to rest, let the sounds hold you (2023) on EXILES introduced this language with quiet clarity, later noted by The Quietus for its depth and composure. The continuation, The Mirror (2024) on A Strangely Isolated Place, deepened the dialogue between natural and synthetic textures. Her work has garnered attention from Abul Mogard and Rafael Anton Irisarri, situating her within a wider sphere of contemporary contemplative sound.

In live settings, these pieces unfold with measured patience — tones swelling, dissolving, returning in altered light. From 2026 onward, swanasa continues into new thematic terrain, maintaining a focus on space, perception and the subtle emotional charge held within sustained sound.
