During the last few years, my research has focused on developing sound artworks, stemming from long-term and close collaborations with particular people: non-artists, western trained classical musicians, new music ensembles and improvisers. The driving idea behind this work was to compose a cycle of pieces that followed a specific composition process involving a variety of activities. In the first phase of composition, this included field-recordings, interviews, video documentation of the self and improvisation sessions, documenting personal, individual and everyday life elements of each performer in the process. This documentation then became a fundamental part of the audio-visual material used to compose the live electronic pieces. An empirical study focused on discovering the sound environment that surrounded each specific musician. In this way, I investigated the soundscapes of their sound identities and self-identities, and integrated them in multiple forms into the performance as constituent elements of pieces.
My most recent compositions are tailor-made pieces for specific groups and musicians, using video and live electronics for 8-channel sound diffusion systems. My work is currently geared towards exploring concepts such as indeterminacy, improvisation and everyday life elements when developing musical performances, combining these conceptual practices with live electronics.
