The studio
There is a world
inside a sound.
Proof of Life Audio is an independent audio software project by Austin Mink, built around a love for sound design and the possibilities inside recorded audio.

Start with something real.
A room tone. A mechanism. The scrape before a note. We are interested in sounds that carry a sense of place, and what happens when you change their timing, texture, and resonance.
Musique concrète and the practice of composing with recorded sound are central to that curiosity. So is sonic world building: using familiar details in unfamiliar ways to suggest a space, a feeling, or a story.
Made for exploration.
Governor brings tape character, time manipulation, granular textures, and material resonance into one audio effect. The aim is to make transformation something you can play, hear, and capture as it happens.
That direction extends into sound for games and moving images: environmental detail, tension, atmosphere, and sounds that make an imagined place feel inhabited.
A small project. An open conversation.
These tools are growing through listening, experimenting, and real sessions. The demos on the product page are recordings of Governor in use. If you have a question, find a problem, or make something unexpected, we would like to hear from you.
