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
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) 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)
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…

New music, new project
It’s been quite a long time, since I posted here, which doesn’t mean nothing happend in between, on the contrary! There is a lot of new music I published and there is a new project I’m engaged in. First about the new project, because it is very close to my heart. The name of the…

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…

Hearing the Light (EYES CLOSED)
I often think about my music in terms of translation between the senses, using the concept of experiential translation as elaborated by Ricarda Vidal and Madeleine Campbell. (https://experientialtranslation.net/) Sometimes even my artistic process is a process of experiential translation, like in this case between the eye and the ear. HEARING THE LIGHT (EYES CLOSED) is…

The Psychology of Introspection
I did some artistic research on the psychology of Introspection through sound art and music for more than a year now. The results are three pieces, two of them combining generative music, chance operations and field recordings. The third one is a composition using field recordings. The psychology of Introspection is necessarily a psychology of…

Streetcars do dream-work (new release)
Since I have re-loacated to Vienna in September last year, I used to travel a lot across the town on trams listening to the sounds they produce as they make their ways through the city and the sounds the passengers produce on the trams or their various silences. This is often a weird experience of…

After Harnik: a compositional response
The title is deliberately worded ambiguously. On the conventional level of language, ‘After Harnik’ means inspired by a work by Elisabeth Harnik. This work is her spatial composition for choirs and instrumentalists based on texts by Heraclitus and Sappho entitled “in change is rest” (2022-2023), the performance of which at Wien Modern on November 25,…

Vienna Trilogy
The Vienna Trilogy represents the experience of a world moving towards catastrophe mixed with the experience of starting a new phase of life and moving to a city of mythologized well-being. Accordingly, the three pieces describe a journey from the cheerful feelings of arrival to the confrontation with war, war crimes and trauma while working…

Birds in glass cabinets tell their dreams of flying
Some years ago I visited the Bird Collection at the Natural History Museum Vienna, which was a surreal experience. It holds more than 130.000 objects: skins, skeletons, eggs, and tissues. More than 10.000 mounted birds form part of the systematic collection. About 25% are permanently on display in the public galleries. My immedeate reaction was…
