🎼 iServalan – Homotech Music Artist

A sonic visionary blending AI and human creativity

🔊 Artist Profile

iServalan is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and sound artist working at the bleeding edge of human-machine collaboration. As a founding Homotech of Tale Teller Club Publishing, her work fuses traditional instrumentation with AI-assisted sound design, creating haunting, futuristic scores for film, immersive literature, and experimental performance.

She coined the term “homoteching” to describe her hybrid process: a blend of analog recording, glitch art, algorithmic composition, and emotional storytelling. With each track, iServalan explores how machines can enhance—not replace—the artist’s voice.
