Artist description Stretching musical vocabulary. These pieces are liquid sound sculptures. Using raw sampling, synthesis and realtime processing I compose and perform from common simple sounds. Each sound is really a unique instrument and it takes time to get to know it and how to use it. I prefer having dozens of sounds available at my fingertips all the time. All of these pieces are single takes and essentially live.
