2020
A continuous one-hour soundscape unfolding across ten phases.
First presented live 2020-07 (House of Yoga, Luxembourg).
METHODSound is approached as space.
Not only something to hear,
but something to move within.Drift guides the process.
Rather than directing form,
I stay with what is unfolding
and allow it to shape itself over time.The work favors duration.
Long-form structures create the conditions
for subtle changes to emerge and be perceived.Listening is central.
Form appears through shifts in attention,
through small transitions
that open new states within the same material.A parallel framework of notation and reflection
helps trace these changes as they happen
and return to them later.The focus remains on restraint.
Minimal intervention,
threshold states,
and the space where perception begins to shift.
