Artist Statment

My instrumental, electronic, and mixed music are an image of life—an imitation of its unfolding. Sounds are beings that enter into relationships with one another, tracing something like a story. They dialogue, collide, pursue, and obstruct one another; they move, fall, scream, or try to achieve goals. To listen to a piece is to live through the drama of their existence: the music happens to them as much as it happens to us.

Those relationships are not merely metaphorical; or rather, they are metaphors we live by. After all, don’t we say that the texture is falling, or that the high strings are screaming? We not only talk about music but also perceive it in terms of those metaphors. Through rhetorical techniques (such as interruptions, parenthesis, deviation) and appropriate choices of material, I seek to render these interactions perceptible as lived events rather than abstract constructions. A gesture may provoke another, derail an ongoing process, or leave a trace that reappears later in altered form. In this way, sound events do not simply coexist but actively condition one another’s presence, identity and trajectory.

Life is both continuous and discontinuous. It unfolds as a single, irreversible line from birth to death, yet our experience of time within it is elastic, shaped by contrasts, repetitions, and ruptures. My music explores this tension. On a local level, the music is volatile, shaped by sudden encounters, resistances, and fragile alignments; on a broader scale, longer processes guide its irreversible progression, allowing patterns, returns, and deviations to gradually coalesce into form. What is heard in the moment may seem discontinuous or unstable, yet over time, a larger coherence emerges—one that is not imposed in advance but discovered through the accumulation of events. The tension between these scales produces moments where continuity is felt, broken, or reconfigured.
