Electro-acoustic elements are predetermined and fixed; they are not subject to influence from any external controller or signal. Examples include: tape music (Musique concrète), triggering of composed sound files, click-tracks (tempo curving), real-time synthesis systems governed entirely by a fixed score.

vagues / fenêtres

This piece reflects my interest in the intersection between natural and musical structures, and the nuances revealed by close listening. It also, I think, bears traces of the many hours I spent wandering with camera and recording devices through the old town and along the promenade in Nice, absorbing color, shape, movement, reflection.

Project

68

Why do we create art and what do we expect it to do? This is the question posed in 68. In the beginning we witness the creative act: a poet, writing and speaking out the earliest fragments of his poems; discovering through experiment his voice, both physically and figuratively.
