L-PG's artistic research is rooted in a fascination with mechanical sounds, obsessive rhythms and the sonic desolation of urban spaces. His artistic exploration is a form of resistance against the trivialisation of sound and a reflection on the relationship between humans, technology, and the decline of modern society.
