Ed Malaker / Independent dark-media studio

Dark stories.
Macabre music.
Strange transmissions.

32 Hertz is an independent creative studio led by writer, musician, and overnight storyteller Ed Malaker, working with a close team across music, books, games, animation, audio, and film.

Selected work / Start here

One team. Multiple forms.

These projects do not need to become one fictional universe. They share a hands-on approach and a creative lineage shaped by Ed, Nancy, Frank, Cody, and many collaborators over the years.

01 Short film

Dr. Physt

An original short film made outside the traditional studio system—proof that a small team can carry a dark idea from script to screen.

03 Published book

My Dark Mind

A published work from Ed’s dark-writing catalog—and one of the existing projects that 32 Hertz can help audiences discover.

04 Independent games

dED and BURYd Games

Original browser games and interactive experiments by Ed and Nancy, ranging from horror trivia and target practice to a Valentine’s Day arcade game.

Behind the signal

Ed leads the work.
The team brings it to life.

Ed Malaker is the founder, creative lead, and public-facing writer, editor, musician, songwriter, narrator, and independent creator behind 32 Hertz.

Nancy Bury is a central creative partner across art, animation, music, and production. Today the team centers on Ed, Nancy, and Frank Baransky, with Ed’s son Cody joining some projects. Many other musicians, actors, and collaborators have helped shape the work over the years.

32 Hertz gives that shared work a home without hiding the people behind a faceless company identity.
