👁 Music for Non-Human Listeners
Who are you composing for? Most music is created with a human audience in mind. But what happens when we design music not for people—but for entities beyond the human?

Some music exists inside a room. Other music is the room. At Yokai Circle, we don’t just design sound—we design space. Or more accurately, we design for spaces that might not even exist.

🪞Music as Mirror: How Sound Reflects What We Can’t Say . AI-Generated.

Ulek Mayang: The Rhythm That Wrote My Warrior Princesses
This is the beat that shaped my book, and the breath behind my warrior women Ulek Mayang is a traditional healing dance-ritual from the state of Terengganu. It is a ritualistic dance performed to appease or invoke the spirits of the sea and is always accompanied by a unique song. The word ulek means “to soothe” or “to lull,” and mayang refers to the flowering fronds of the coconut palm, used as a sacred object in the performance. It’s believed to heal fishermen or villagers who fall ill due to spiritual disturbance, especially from sea spirits or unseen forces tied to the ocean.

✨ Music as a Portal: Escaping Reality Through Sound . AI-Generated.
