At its core, SoundFrames is an audio-first project. The visuals serve as an amplifier, enhancing the mood rather than dictating it. The vertical 9:16 format reflects the way we naturally capture fleeting moments and how we consume media today. Rather than overthinking each piece, I embrace intuition, working quickly to preserve the raw emotion of an idea before it fades.
By embracing limitations—using only what is already there—I create within boundaries that allow these fragments to breathe. SoundFrames is less about refinement and more about recognition: a way of noticing, collecting, and transforming the subtle textures of the everyday into something new.
Compositions from debut album Juun are heavily influenced by Samuel’s native South West of England, and are completed by Jeremia’s distinct sound design and production techniques. Live strings on several tracks are written and performed by long-time collaborator Alistair Sterling. All visuals are by designer Kerry Williams.
Singles from Juun have garnered support from Spotify and BBC Radio, featuring numerous times in various programmes across the service. S. Salter appeared on the official 'Piano Day 2023' record, created by Nils Frahm and Leiter Verlag. Their full AV live show 'A Walk With... S. Salter', a collaboration with visual artists Sam McCormick and Seb Price, premiered in early 2023 in Amsterdam and is now touring cultural spaces across Europe.
S. Salter Links:
Curious by nature, I like to explore sound from different angles — through field recordings, a variety of microphones, and FX pedals that reveal unexpected textures. Sampling, working with drum machines and synthesizers, or using reel-to-reel tape are all part of my process, offering tactile ways to shape and transform sound.
Recording and processing sounds or loops outside the computer helps me break routines and embrace accidents — glitches, timing imperfections, or unexpected noise that often bring a track to life. I’m especially drawn to organic textures, detuned elements, analog delays, and moments of subtle instability. These details, though imperfect, often carry the most character.

To me, music is ultimately about emotion — and my role is to amplify what’s already there, or to add what might be missing, with care and sensitivity. Beyond all the tools and techniques, it’s about bringing the core feeling into focus.
