    Revisiting the third ear: Solo for Maryanne Amacher

    Revisiting the third ear: Solo for Maryanne Amacher

    In my durational music I am working extensively with psychoacoustic phenomena commonly known as ‘combination tones’ or ‘difference tones’. Maryanne Amacher initially termed these phenomena ‘ear tones’ and later began referring to them by the psychoacoustical terminology of ‘otoacoustic emissions’. She thought that when to two pure tones are presented simultaneously to the ear, the ears will act as…

    Exploring the bird mythology of Danielle Baquet

    Exploring the bird mythology of Danielle Baquet

    O, You Birds is a concept album that delves deep into the mythological world of birds by Danielle Baquet. It is therefore, even if field recordings of birds appear in some places, not an album that aims to capture the voices of real birds or their direct imitation. Rather, it is about the mythology of birds…

    Exploring Maryanne Amacher’s Sound Art

    Exploring Maryanne Amacher’s Sound Art

    I’ve been revisiting the sound art of Maryanne Amacher lately and have been fascinated again by her exploration of listening and the relations between sounds. She gave a talk about her discovery of the second and the third ear a Ars Electronica in Linz (Austria) in 1989: I composed a tribute piece: Solo for Maryanne…

    The Clarice Lispector Project

    The Clarice Lispector Project

    Clarice Lispector was born in 1920 to a Jewish family in western Ukraine. As a result of the anti-Semitic violence they endured, the family fled to Brazil in 1922, and Clarice Lispector grew up in Recife. Following the death of her mother when Clarice was nine, she moved to Rio de Janeiro with her father…

    Exercises in Minimalism revisited

    Exercises in Minimalism revisited

    The present work originates from an intimate engagement with a personal sound archive. In 2017, I recorded the interior resonance of an upright piano that had accompanied my childhood — an instrument now lost, along with the family home in which it stood. These recordings, focusing on the raw timbral qualities of the strings, became…

    Fo(u)r Cellos (A homage to Tony Conrad)

    Fo(u)r Cellos (A homage to Tony Conrad)

    Fo(u)r Cellos (A homage to Tony Conrad) explores how sounds that are usually considered disruptive or incidental can be transformed into music. Rather than separating noise and music, the piece asks the listener to hear both as part of the same spectrum, where order and structure can emerge from what first seems chaotic. The work…

    Tales of Audrey (new release)

    Tales of Audrey (new release)

    Audrey is a queer persona emerging from an ongoing experimental musical project. She is not a fixed character, but a performative construct—unruly, unstable, and deliberately unresolved. Through fragmented narratives, sonic dissonance, and affective instability, Audrey challenges the demand for coherence. Her queerness is not symbolic—it is structural. Moments of failure, distortion, or silence are not…

    NOTES Vol. 1 and 2

    NOTES are field recordings annotated with and sometimes transformed into music. The field recordings have been made over the last few month in two places in Vienna. One place is at home in my bedroom with the window open at night. The other place is the park nearby, also at night. These field recordings are…
