About these excerpts

One of the fundamental elements of my compositions is in writing the positions and trajectories of sounds to create a choreographed musical space. This requires sending multichannel audio to many speakers. This is why any attempt to present my work on the internet hardly makes much sense, even when it is binaural or transaural encoded.

Live performances are the only way to experience my spatial compositions, them being played on the specific sound system for which they were originally created. Thus, I present on my website only a few video trailers which doesn't suffer much from being reduced to stereo since their only intent is to broadly present the work. A glimpse of my artistic world and of my inspiring collaborators creations.
