I think of sound as a way a relating.
Listening can be a path to co-existing with others: with people, spaces, species, materials, and environments. Through listening, we attend to entire environments and their human and non-human components, as we no longer place ourselves at the center of perception and meaning-making. I am interested in exploring the layers of such active attention.
Sound is, in essence, motion.
And all movement is perceived through the body. Sound touches the body before it is understood by the mind. It vibrates through tissues, bones, skin, and air. The corporeality of sound and the perception of space through listening increasingly form the core impulse of my work.
Music, to me, is not primarily a thing, but an experience – a specific form of encounter- a social, intellectual, cultural, and bodily event. Improvisation plays an important role within this experience. I think of improvisation as an open, vast sea, a space where we can safely bump into one another and meet each other in our vulnerability.
I wish to explore such approaches through creative, cooperative, organisational, and educational practices.
