What's in the works
Past Tense
Exploring Idleness and Boredom as Compositional Strategies
Past Tense is a participatory, long-term sound installation inspired by “idle” games—systems that evolve on their own and invite only occasional interaction. Small sounds captured from the environment, electronics, radio, and visitors slowly accumulate, forming a growing sonic mass. Participants may briefly intervene, releasing short sonic gestures before the system settles back into its autonomous flow. Through gradual feedback and repetition, the work invites a relaxed, daydream-like mode of listening and composing, in which past sounds resurface, and the work unfolds from a small kernel of inputs over time.
Interweaving
An installative radio art performance that turns live emissions from pulsars, planets and moons into invisible, drifting sound sources. Performers and audience carry wireless loudspeakers shaped like deep-space probes and hunt these signals through the room, collectively "tuning" a meta-instrument made of the whole space. A collaboration with Tobias Leibetseder.
Bifurcation
Every piece in it was developed entirely from a single equation: the logistic map, the famous bifurcation curve. Samples, modulation curves, filter trajectories, everything unfolds from one conceptual core.
Upcoming: Bifurcation III selected for Marginale II, Sant'Arpino (Caserta), IT — 9.5.2026
Presque Rider
tries to approach the concept of a “score” in the spirit of casual gaming: Two to three performers battle for victory in a “racing game” by completing electroacoustic challenges that are analysed in real time.
ImPulsar4
is a meditative and immersive exploration of sound’s essence, revealing its inner beauty through a delicate balance of precision and serendipity. Inspired by spectroscopic methods to study matter both at the atomic and astronomic levels, the project dissects sound waves as a metaphorical journey inward, exposing the hidden elegance of simple signals.
