What is the first sound you remember hearing? Did it startle you? Or was it comforting, lulling you to rest? You may remember the voice of a loved one; crashing waves; birdsong; footsteps in a dark room; thunder; a crackling bonfire. If there is no clear sound you can conjure, consider the milky silence of this lapse in memory—how it opens to a vast space where the continuous medley of your life first began.

Sound has a profound effect on our being. It is a dimension of our environment that we are constantly responding to and communicating with. Even those earliest impressions, however clear or foggy, are revealed in what we may like or dislike hearing today. Sound contributes to our wellbeing or, when unattuned, our discord.

Somehow Sound is a project founded by Derek Simpson & Joshua Tarantino out of an endless love for the listening experience. 

We believe in music’s capacity to facilitate a momentary kind of dwelling that nourishes the mind and spirit. 

We treat sound recording as a sacred space for play, experimentation, and discovery. 

We offer music-making & sound-design solutions for a variety of projects.
