[Play tip: set the audio at a comfortable level in the first 10 seconds, and you're good to go]

These pieces are about natural-acoustics, and psycho-acoustics, breathing, scraping, being surrounded by textures, particles bouncing, dancing, and singing off of each other.

For these compositions I was inspired by psycho acoustic, and early electronic composers.

My intention is to make the music “feel” acoustic, to hear the electrons and voltages vibrate just as you would hear a string from a guitar or brushes caressing a snare-drum. I like to suggest sounds that are not there.

For the recording I used only electronic instruments, the analog (diy) Serge synthesizer and a digital Max-patch filled with pure sine-tones,

This work does something physical (whether you like that or not) with your head and body, Sounds and waves of particles surrounding in a kind of intimate way, breathing around you or scraping the table in front of you with sandpaper. It’s a personal journey and experience for every listener.

Enjoy!
