Hello, I'm Isis, a composer, sound designer, Foley artist and vocalist based on the edge of the Cotswolds in the UK.

You may know my work under a few different names. Isis Medlow is the name I use professionally across games, film and media, OSELKI is my artist project, and some of my earlier work can be found under Isis Deardon. I'm also the vocalist for KORA and have experience in voice acting.

 

Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I had an unconventional and creative upbringing, surrounded by music festivals, art and creative communities across the UK and Europe. I started out writing songs and poetry before picking up the guitar and discovering music production at sixteen through GarageBand.

That changed everything for me. I suddenly had a way of turning the sounds I could hear in my head into something tangible, and I became fascinated with recording, layering sound and creating atmosphere.

 

My work is heavily influenced by nature, folklore, fantasy and darker, atmospheric worlds. That love of world-building eventually drew me beyond songwriting and music production and into creating sound for visual and interactive media.

I became particularly fascinated with game audio and the way sound can behave as part of a living world. I loved hearing how music, ambience and sound design could work together, change with an environment and respond to what was happening. It introduced me to an entirely different way of thinking about sound.

 

I went on to study Creative Music Technology at Bath Spa University, graduating with a BA (Hons) in 2026. During my degree, I expanded my practice into sound design, Foley, audio post-production and interactive game audio, alongside continuing to develop my work as a composer and music producer.

Today, my work spans games, film and music. I create and record sound, compose music, perform Foley, work with dialogue and build interactive audio, collaborating with filmmakers, animators, developers and musicians to help bring their ideas to life.

 

Alongside my work in sound for media, I continue to write and perform music as OSELKI and as the vocalist for KORA. Having both sides of my practice is important to me, one allows me to step inside someone else's world, while the other gives me space to create my own.

 

What began with writing songs and experimenting with sound has grown into a much wider creative practice, and I'm continuing to push that further through new projects, collaborations and new ways of working with sound.
