The Art of Sound Design: iServalan and the Discipline of Frequency
Published in: Sonic Architecture Journal (2025) Sound design, when approached by iServalan, is not decoration — it’s sculpture. Each frequency is handled as material: carved, balanced, and refined until it stands with architectural clarity.
