WELCOME TO PHANTOM FIELD HQ - COMING SOON!

Saint John, NB // Maritime Industrial Audio.

Audio + visual architecture for underground artists. The Translation Layer between your intent and a finished, engineered release.

QC-first delivery Commercial-safe tool stack We do not ship raw generations

THE MANIFESTO

Build in low light. Craft over clout. Signal over noise. AI-aided audio + visual architecture—minimal, industrial/coastal, fog/steel. PHANTOM MODE: low profile, high output.

TRANSLATION LAYER

The client stays human. The system stays accountable. The finish stays engineered.

LANE MENUS

Pick a lane to lock the finish. Lanes are constraint sets: tempo, drum character, vocal handling, visual materials, and QC gates. Lane-first prevents generic outputs and keeps your identity intact.

PFH-LANE-SHADOW-V1

Shadow Lane — Confessional Pressure

Night-drive darkness with clean structure. Emotional realism, tension, and hard drums—engineered for clarity.

HIGH INTENSITY
Traits:dark textures, punch drums, narrative vocals
Use-case:single + visual pack, performance-ready polish
QC:artifact removal, vocal clarity, master bus glue

Reference listening is for alignment only. No affiliation implied.

PFH-LANE-CAN-GRIT-V1

Canadian Grit — Worklight Realism

Blue-collar realism. Boom-bap fundamentals with hard drums and clear vocal dominance—built for punch and presence.

BARS FIRST
Traits:raw drums, grit, tight edits, heavy writing
Use-case:single polish + video plate + disciplined mix
QC:transient control, vocal edge, mono compatibility

Built in Saint John, NB. Fog & Steel discipline.

THE SIGNAL CHAIN

IDENTITY
Fog & Steel

Saint John, NB // Fog & Steel. We work where the weather changes the mood of the day. We do not let the AI replace the human; we use it to amplify the signal.

TRANSPARENCY
The Tool Stack

We build on our own land. We use an Industrial-Grade, Commercial-Safe Stack. Audio: UVR5 (Surgical Isolation) + Reaper (The Anvil). Visual: Flux.1 [schnell] (Commercial Safe Generation) + Krita (Hand-Overpainting).

RESTRAINT
The Delete Button

We practice Restraint and Patience. The 'Reaper Polish' means we spend more time cleaning artifacts than generating them. If the work doesn't feel like it belongs to the client, it isn't finished.
