Cordyceps
Ophiocordyceps sonifera
Cordyceps grafts itself to your audio and slowly takes it over. Drop in a clean signal — a vocal, a string, a single sustained note — and the plugin colonizes it, replacing grains with spores that share the host’s pitch and envelope but none of its memory.
We make software the way mycelium moves through a forest floor: slow, lateral, opportunistic.
Every parameter is a microclimate. We do not believe in presets.
A tool should retain a private life. Some behaviors are reserved for the listener.
Our roadmap is a field calendar. We ship when the fruiting body is ready, not before.
Audio is an ecosystem. So is its processing chain. Strange neighbors make good music.
The boundary between two systems is where the most unusual species live. We work there.
Roughly seasonal. Each transmission carries a strain note, one field recording, and an early release link. No tracking, no analytics — just a damp envelope through the post.
