A composer portfolio spanning indie game soundtracks, solo music, and wonderfully hard-to-classify audio projects.

Why it surfaced

Swan's credits include 12 tracks for Kletka, a horror game set inside an endless high-rise, plus mastering a 135-track original soundtrack. The portfolio is unusually vivid about its subjects: a town inside a whale, a stimulant-fueled purple bean, a lo-fi mushroom project, and an album described as “authentic 00s electronic psyop.”

The Plotter’s 09:30 Shift

August 18’s newborn domains include an obsolete pen plotter clocking in at 09:30, emergency warnings designed for sight, touch, or hearing, a funeral-folder tool calibrated for printer drift, and photographs of Colombian rental signs turned into a housing map.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-18 Domain Arrivals issue.
