I record soundscapes, create electroacoustic compositions and electronically synthesized sonic works that are very minimal and focus on the subtle variations of sound and rhythm. It is something that I call ‘arrhythmic’ - irregular rhythm that is inconsistent or organically offbeat (i.e. raindrops). In music theory it correlates to point and counterpoint techniques that keep the rhythm interesting and ever-changing.

I utilize layering of sounds with various manipulations and split them over multichannel audio to immerse the audience.

My sonic art is often live-coded and is based on algorithmic composition with a set of instructions for the computer or can be interactive allowing the audience to manipulate the sound waves.

/\ stands for “arrhythmia” and is designed in 3 parts showing the progression of the body of work:

(1) from field recording of irregular rhythmic sounds like raindrops, unmanipulated in any way;

(2) to acousmatic explorations of manipulating objects to create arrhythmic percussive patterns;

(3) to granular synthesis of electronic sounds inspired by natural occurrences that further layer rhythmic patterns onto themselves, utilizing tiling and phasing techniques to create complex and sometimes chaotic irregularities in rhythm.
