My work if it could be a dream

Resting in between practices of motion //

Flowing across borders, human and More-Than-human.  

                         [within sound]

              [through different mediums]  

Multiple

[or] in other words

More than one and less than many

[or] in other words

To do away with Binarity

  [Listening as a way of making]

        Wouldn’t touching the air be nice ?

Making kin through Music

[and]

understanding sound as movement

[and]

Seeking out unfamiliar correspondences

[Thinking well is moving well with others]

       Wouldn’t touching the air be nice ?

Interested in fostering an hybrid artistic process where sound speaks to us in many tongues and where listening in on these echoes requires an exercise in negotiation and vulnerability, in fabulation and curiosity.

I wonder about weaving together many different bodies of sound and aim to create spaces where composition and improvisation, programmatic research and experimentation meet as possible motions of tuning unto others.

I wonder about gamelan, gagaku, other ritualistic or repetitive forms of music, about alternative tuning systems, microtonality, prepared piano, wooden objects and mechanical interventions into instruments as a method of questioning western intonational practices.

I wonder about what these things can teach us in the way we listen to others and if Music can become a place from which to play out better and slower ways of knowing and doing.

I also play piano.

other ongoing fascinations : chronopolitics, affect-theory, techno, queer epistemology, decolonialism, speculative philosophy, spicy sauces, urban mobility, cooking, brutalist architecture, biking, parrots.
