This is a Mixtape I made for mix channel called "Prepaid Radio" before the release. 
It's about 30 minutes of collage by letting my own past works pass through a "sluggish or distorted" filter,,,,,,,,

Asymptotic Freedom I - for six electric guitars

A Cow in the Backyard (2020) was commissioned by ensemble Mosaik, following up our previous collaboration Study in Yellow and Violet (2019). It's a piece for 7 musicians, electronics and three projected animations created by my long-term collaborator, wonderful artist and great friend María Korol.

The link to the full video version with the animation: https://youtu.be/yEwUuWYmQD0 

This piece was premiered at Kesselhaus in Berlin on September 4, 2020. The piece was adapted as an intimate experience - installation at Swan Coach House Gallery in Atlanta (GA, USA) as a part of the exhibition Nightwork by María Korol (Oct 10 - Nov 29, 2020).

Special thanks for all the work, help and support to the musicians of ensemble Mosaik, video technician Ecki Güther and sound technician Arne Vierck.
