Here is a short excerpt of the sixth part of the wind generated composition Anemochories#1.
The sonic aesthetic is inspired by an imaginary landscape populated by fantastic creatures singing a twilight song.
It is programmed with supercollider, using wind force data to generate, process and spatialize sounds. Originally, it is about two hours long and starts around 5 pm.

Twilight (excerpt)

Here is a short excerpt of the last part of the wind generated composition Anemochories#1.
The sonic aesthetic is a response to the first part, "Sunrise", and is inspired by the small changes that happen in a landscape during sunset.
It is programmed with supercollider, using wind force data to generate, process and spatialize sounds. Originally, it is about two hours long and starts around 7 pm.

Sunset (excerpt)

Here is a short excerpt of the first part of the wind generated composition Anemochories#1.
The overall atmosphere is inspired by the very subtle changes in the landscape that happen during sunrise.

Here is a short excerpt of the second part of the wind generated composition Anemochories#1.
The aesthetic is inspired by chimes caressed by the wind.
It is programmed with supercollider, using wind force data to generate, process and spatialize sounds. Originally, it is about two hours long and starts around 9 am.

Chimes (excerpt)

Here is a short excerpt of the third part of the wind generated composition Anemochories#1.
The sonic aesthetic is inspired by the dance bees execute to orientate themselves. 
It is programmed with supercollider, using wind force data to generate, process and spatialize sounds. Originally, it is about two hours long and starts around 11 am.

"Memorià de Santa Susanna" was composed during the intensive field recording and sound ecology summer camp Audiotalaia in July 2017.

This piece was written for and with an ensemble of seven human performers and hundreds of insects. This piece was composed based on field recordings I made in the surroundings of the ruined church Santa Susanna, in the dry mountains of Catalonia. One of the most striking sonic signatures was of course the bugs songs, filling the space with complex rhythmic patterns and rich high frequencies timbers. Another sonic presence, yet inaudible, was the echo of the bells of the old church. This piece was meant be performed in-situ, made for and with the soundscape. It aimed to propose an auditory experience of the place by activating it, by offering to listen to it in a different way.

Memoria de Santa Susanna (excerpt)

This is a short excerpt of the sonic environment composed for the multimedia installation "Promenade pour sept, sept minutes".

This installation is the result of seven soundwalks I did between 2014 and 2016 in different locations. Being inspired by the works of Hildegaard Westerkamp, Janet Cardiff and Luc Ferrari, this installation focuses on the many layers of the auditory experience in the style of a docu-fiction.
I composed a seven-minute multiphonic electroacoustic piece, using voices and field recordings. The seven voices, which come from the seven suspended loudspeakers, recount the soundwalks that I transcribed into writing. While these voices describe landscapes, talk about orientation and tell stories, different sound events fill the space.
Seven booklets punctuate the space, giving directions, offering points of view and listening. One can read diversed and varied sound sensations, from listening to one’s own breath to the granular sound of the rain. Each one has its own shape, depending on what it gives to hear. These are hybrid writings between maps, scores and fictions.

It was shown as part of my bachelor’s degree’s final exhibition at École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris in June 2016.

Promenade pour sept, sept minutes (excerpt)

electroacoustic composition, 2016

This is the first electroacoustic composition I made. It was inspired by the circular urbanism of Bagdad in the 9th century.

This piece won the Exhibitronic Price in 2016

This composition was made with fields recordings I did in an abandoned factory in the suburbs of Helsinki and with sounds from the modular synthetizer Serge in Sibelius Academy (Helsinki, Finland).

Stay In Transition

electroacoustic composition
2018

The Maneki Neko (the inviting cat) is a spirit of fortune and happiness in the Japanese tradition.
In « Maneki-Neko’s dream », I play with different patterns of bounces, suspensions, tumbles and rythms. These patterns follow one another quickly and linearly at the beginning, to evolve towards a more fragmented writing at the end. In an artificial and dreamlike universe, this music tries to be as agile, joyful and mocking as a jumping cat.

Le rêve de Maneki-Neko

electroacoustic composition, 2019

Microscopic Dancewas realized with a tuning fork, a piezzo microphone and feedback from a delay pedal. It's a short minimalist interlude inspired by Bernard Parmegiani's piece Incidences/Résonances, from the 'De Natura Sonorum' series.
