Music

Between 2018 and 2020, Micah Wallace compiled and expanded recorded fragments to create “Unofficial Proof”. Through song forms, loops, and creative sound design, a woven narrative emerged. Micah used studio techniques, overdubbing, electronics programming, and multitracking to build the album. The resulting collection is an audio journey that meanders using a focused sonic palette of modern rock instrumentation with energetic layers of textures from homemade synthesizers and loosely constructed motifs.
