As an independent bedroom producer, I have created and produced over 70 original tracks, exploring diverse soundscapes in Electronic, Ambient, and Synthwave music. Performing under the artist name 77 Lone, I craft unique sonic textures and atmospheres through my deep passion for sound design. Some of my works have been released on Spotify under the record label Potato Cultivators, while many remain unreleased as they are driven purely by passion and artistic exploration rather than commercial intent. Over the years, I have collaborated with international artists from Sweden, Norway, USA, India, South Africa, and Indonesia, blending experimental creativity with modern production techniques to design immersive and original sounds that reflect both personal expression and cross-cultural influence.

Between June and September 2025, I contributed over 61 hours as a Volunteer Citizen Scientist on Zooniverse, participating in six projects across astronomy, physics, ecology, climate science, and digital humanities. In Sunspot Detectives, I analysed historical solar drawings (1853–1878) to identify and count sunspots, contributing to long-term records of solar magnetic activity and its impact on Earth’s climate. Through Galaxy Zoo, I classified telescope images to determine galaxy shapes and structures, supporting research on galaxy evolution. In Name That Neutrino, I reviewed IceCube Neutrino Observatory event data to distinguish real neutrino signals from background noise, aiding both particle physics research and machine-learning training. My work in Penguin Watch involved tagging penguins, chicks, and nests using time-lapse imagery to monitor population dynamics and environmental change. In GhanaPhenoPulse, I contributed to vegetation and phenology observations that help assess the impacts of climate change on ecosystems in Ghana. Additionally, through Picturing Children’s Stories, I helped preserve cultural heritage by classifying archival materials. This experience strengthened my skills in data classification, pattern recognition, research collaboration, scientific observation, and attention to detail, while allowing me to make meaningful contributions to real scientific discoveries worldwide.

The International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC) is a citizen science program that provides high-quality astronomical data to citizen scientists around the world. These citizen scientists are able to make original astronomical discoveries and participate in hands-on astronomy.
