A minimalist approach to intuitive composition. This piece was built up from a ritualized combination of a given set of elements: pink noise, band filtering, a sine spread, meandering synthesized woodwind, and a flicking through the pages of Seneca’s “Moral Essays”.

Holly Rollers – 6# in “Some Days Series” – a series of short situated sound experiments. Copenhagen, April 2016.
A series of every day actions and sound impressions gathered from the place called neighbourhood. Holly Rollers brings almost-melodies into contact with a deep-layered awareness of the surrounding rhythms, and the strange closeness of anonymity between those inhabiting them. It explores eavesdropping as a creative strategy.

Salt Sand Snow Stepper – 1# in “Some Days Series” – a series of short situated sound experiments. Copenhagen, February 2016.
Weather and own body mass as texture generators. Salt Sand Snow Stepper is an expansive micro-landscape of layered acoustic perceptions. Its nature is mineral, both that which lives within and without the body. Salt like sand, stepping like onto snow – it gathers discrete memories of pleasure in progress against wind, tiredness, boredom and the nurturing anxiety of the creative act.
