Music Releases

Carrying Capacity (Album)

Carrying Capacity is an energetic 7 song electronic album Tamara released in 2023 through Chronotopic Records.

New Leaf (Album)

"New Leaf is a deep, reflective expedition into the unknown; swirling, cinematic sound-design techniques, and cut-up glitch-esque electronics swim amidst colourful composition, sampled loops and naturally occurring soundscapes." Released through Moonswing Netlabel.

Aeropsis (EP)

"A textural cascade of fluid electronics and psychedelia-inspired songwriting sparked from the cosmic ascension between multi-instrumentalists Levi Thöle & Tamara Ringas otherwise known as Whale Whale. An experimental electronic duo based between Cape Town and Johannesburg. Where oceans intertwine, where galaxies collide. A delicate, yet transcendent experience and debut offering by two equally mystic bodies."

Itch, Scratch, Release (EP)

Itch, Scratch, Release is a three song instrumental & electronic EP released with composer Callum Kuhl.
