Während ich in der Luft schwebte, gehalten von einer weißen Wolke auf einer mythischen Leinwand der Phantasie, beobachtete ich die Werte meiner Blutelemente und hörte einem schillernden musikalischen Schauspiel
fast übermenschlich
auf der geografischen Karte nach links
an dem Punkt, an dem sich der Berg des Schreckens befindet.
Immer in Blitze eingewickelt
und Gewitter.
Dort bin ich einmal geklettert.
Dort hörte ich zum ersten Mal das Lied
das sagte, wir gehören zum Wasser.

Concerto for piano and wireless speakers (after Symphony No.3 for 200 wireless speakers) is a continuation of my work with sonic multiplicities. Replacing the orchestra with small electronic devices refers both to the industrial and the digital revolutions. 
The first one allowed mass production of musical instruments and creating large homogenous orchestras, the second one allowed mass storing of sound and playing it at any place and any time.
The orchestra of speakers can be compared to a sound garden, where each seed is activated by the “conductor”, who arranges and distributes ca. 60 speakers in space, creating themes, lines, rhizomes or echoes. 
Each speaker contains a memory card with a track, a larger number of speakers creates a multilayered texture and the accompaniment for the soloist. 
The “conductor” controls the motion of the speakers around the audience, since the speakers can be passed from one person to another during the piece, changing the sonic/spatial constellation of the “accompaniment”. 
Concerto was written for Rei Nakamura
The recording was made during Summer Courses for New Music in Darmstadt, August 2023
This track features the 2nd half of the Concerto (total duration 60 mins.)

String Quartet No. 3 is the result of exploration of technology and tradition. The piece was
composed entirely within Ableton Live, utilizing a custom Max for Live (M4L) patch that I
developed using Max/Msp visual programming environment. At its core, the composition is
driven by four oscillators that interact and blend, each contributing to the sonic fabric of the
work. The transcription of the material from Ableton into conventional notation was undertaken at a subsequent stage of the process. These synthesized elements aim to engage with and expand upon the timbral palette of the string quartet, an ensemble whose sonic possibilities have been continually redefined since its establishment in the common practice era.

This work received its premiere during the MIAM 25th Anniversary Gala in November 2024, commemorating a quarter-century since the department's founding.

The title NEuripides merges “Neuron” and “Euripides,” reflecting both the technical method behind the composition and its aesthetic resonance. The piece is generated using an artificial neural network composed of four neurons - a minimal AI system that produces layered sonic gestures throughout the training process. These gestures, often repetitive and evolving, evoke the presence of an ancient Greek chorus: collective, ritualistic, and emotionally charged.

At the same time, the textures and timbres of NEuripides are deeply rooted in the contemporary world. They echo the spectral fragments that define our current sonic environment - from urban infrastructure to data flows and media noise. In this way, NEuripides becomes a dialogue between ancient voice and artificial system, memory and code, evoking how the echoes of the past can still speak through the networks of today.

NEuripides was first performed as a 4-channel fixed media work in Hannover Musik Hochschule in Kammermusiksaal Uhlemeyerstr as part of the exchange program between MIAM and HMTMH. 28/06/2025, 7:30pm.


NEuripides, for 4-channel fixed media (2025)

In TrajSynth, created for 32-channel diffusion, I explore the use of artificial intelligence as a generative tool - not for producing entire sound materials directly, but for sonifying the dynamic numerical processes that AI methods inherently generate. These constantly evolving numbers, often ignored in mainstream AI-music platforms, carry a latent energy that I find highly effective for sound creation. Rather than relying on ready-made platforms, I focus on tapping into the internal workings of AI – extracting numerical data from within neural networks or training loops - and translating tha...

Special Thanks To Jean Voguet, for giving me the opportunity to work on CRANE lab's 32.2 volumiphonic device in 06/07/2025 and for inviting me to participate in his Curated By series on Sounding Future. And to Fränk Zimmer, for organizing the project and guiding us through the process, offering the opportunity to present our works on the Sounding Future platform for 3D Audio Space.
