I’m a Berlin-based composer and performer.
I like art, simplicity, and incidental events.
My current work explores contingent characteristics of daily life activities, phenomena, and interactions through unorthodox music-making approaches. I am particularly interested in elements of surprise and in shaping performance contexts that allow the emergence of unexpected factors. In my recent pieces, I invited musicians to interpret my moles as musical notes, I used a pitch detection software as a score that interacts with the environment and the players, I facilitated the movements of an e-bow flowing down the strings of a guitar by itself, I asked a pianist to blow on ping pong balls inside of a grand piano attempting to form shapes drawn in the score.
My music has been performed in Cafe OTO, London New Wind Festival, MINIMALISM FESTIVAL 2.0 (London), Splendor (Amsterdam), KM28 (Berlin), 21st Century Guitar (Lisbon), Constellation (Chicago), and others. My works appear on Another Timbre and Blickwinkel releases.
I hold a PhD in music composition from the University of Leeds (UK).
I currently collaborate with NO SUCCESS and experimentelle Klangmassagezentrum (EK) in Berlin.
