I believe the answer is:

monet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'artist' is the definition.
(painter Claude Monet)

'single framed by empty sounds' is the wordplay.
'single' becomes 'one' (a single thing - only one).
'framed by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'empty sounds' becomes 'mt' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'one' going into 'mt' is 'MONET'.

'produces' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
