Interaction and Installation

traffic

Most of my music is more about states than about developments. Highly dynamic states that changes over time, and contain movement and variation. The compositorial process itself often includes setting up systems that act like permutating installations without a defined beginning and end.

Since the very beginning of my musical works I considered the placement of my music in a room as an integral part of the work itself; each concert set up is a situation in which the music interacts with a given space rather than occupying it.

My interest in the relationship between sound and space, as well as my desire for the creation of complex and slowly changing structures, inevitably leads to a fascination for more sculptural, location-releated works of sound art.

Furthermore, in another semi-artistic life I was very much involved in solving interface and interaction design problems for a music software company, an occupation fueled by my fascination with and reflection upon how people use technology to create art.

These three elements; music as state, its installation in a given space, and the potential interaction between that music and the space controlled or influenced by an audience, are the basis of a series of installation works I have created over the last couple of years.
