Sprakers EP
debut release Sept 2026
The debut EP from saltprince is based on a series of samples and found sounds Lin recorded in NY’s Mohawk Valley during their 2025 artist residency at Wasontha Sanctuary. The project was an experiment in using found sounds as a way to experiment with tone and to capture the emotional experience of a summer in the Mohawk Valley. Each track is built around a core found sound sample – auctioneers, the CSX freight train running along the Mohawk River, Amish horse and buggies, fall peepers, and the sounds of the local artist community. The style varies widely across tracks but they are connected by melodic motifs, their voice as an instrument, and the feeling of the place itself.
Listen to the EP on Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Spotify, or any of the major streaming platforms.
Transmissions
2026 sound installation
Transmissions is an ambient sound installation designed to accompany Mallory Zondag’s fiber arts installation the VOID. The piece is a 23 minute loop incorporating recurring recordings from nature, civilization, and the places where they overlap. It centers on a repeating simulation of the sound of the Big Bang made by John G. Cramer at the University of Washington, which sounds similar to a plane landing or a computer powering down. It also features several sounds generated by sound installations at the Wave Farm Art Park in Acra, New York. This includes recordings from Zach Poff’s Pond Station, which uses solar powered hydrophones (underwater microphones) to record sounds from inside the Wave Farm pond, and from Soundcamp’s Test Site of Acoustic Commons 1, which uses omnidirectional microphones to record the complete environmental soundscape.
The installation is on display as part of Mallory Zondag’s exhibition at The Eleanor D. Wilson Museum at Hollins University through the end of 2026. You can hear the full piece on Bandcamp and Soundcloud.
The Premise
Lin produces, plays keyboards, and sings for the Brooklyn queer electro-space-folk band The Premise. The Premise is currently on hiatus, but you can find their music on Instagram, Bandcamp, and Soundcloud.
