and making music with intention.

What is Toneveld?
Toneveld is a field for sound culture.
We build and collect things that can become starting points — machines with character, sound sources, records, visual experiments and words to read.
Objects to explore.
Synthesizer
Toad
Harmonic drone synth
One oscillator and eight overtones slowly shifting against each other.
Visualizer
Cicade
When Music Starts Drawing
Cicade transforms sound into moving lines, shapes and visual structure.
Synthesizer
Krill
Precise Glacial Tone Generator
Krill is a quiet additive synth for cold movement. It drifts between pure tone and icy texture with grit waiting under the mod wheel.
Synthesizer
Lobster
Analogue-inspired poly synth
A simple polyphonic synth built around warmth and movement.
Synthesizer
Whale
Expressive poly synth
Square and saw waves with loads of modulation. Deckard says hello.
Effects
Starfish
Granular loop machine
Turns short recordings or audio files into moving granular clouds of sound.
Drumbox
Octopus
Eight-voice drum synth
Eight synthesized voices making rhythm. Just oscillators. No samples.
VST
Effects
Conch
Convolution reverb
Real spaces and resonant objects captured as impulse responses.
Effects
Uroboro
Infinite granulator
Uroboro transforms sound in a chromatic playable infinity.
Synthesizer
Eel
The Sine World
Why sine waves never get boring.
Record
Onion

You Need to Hear
Eleven film scores that work as autonomous listening experiences — outside the cinema, outside the image.
Sources
Contact Felt
Piano body recordings
Recorded with a contact microphone placed directly on the body and frame of a piano. Material that reveals itself when passed through granular or convolution processing.

Modular Meme
Audio from the Modular Wall
A rich assortment of different samples, snippets, drones and textures. All were made just by using the Modular Hardware Wall.
Sources
Guitar
Riffs recorded through the DP4+
Electric guitar riffs and fragments recorded through the DP4+. Feed them into a granular processor and they stop being guitar entirely.

Interior Vol.1
Rooms, objects, domestic space
Recordings made inside — rooms with their particular acoustics, objects struck and scraped. The sounds that exist in a space before music enters it.
Inspiration
Eerie Board
Build your own dread machine
The piezo hears what your ear doesn't: Mount objects that promise noise. From there, electronics do the rest. A way to make dystopian sounds yourself — like Nordic Noir by Cinematique Instruments.
