Practice Statement
Space is the key to my work, the matrix that shapes the music and sounds I compose. Through my research I explore "space" as a concept in a multitude of contexts, such as architectural, urban, technological and compositional. Recently I have focused on different methods of spatialization and 3D audio diffusion.
