Artist Statement

Der Raum Traum (1994) uses as its sound material the rubbing and beating of an empty petrol can. Distrak-Sillalla (1992) is based on a search for a compositional language in relation to the sound materials, which in their acoustic profiles are a collection of cultivated concrete sounds (natural objects, machines). Plastique sans titre (1994) is based on three different sound characters: the recording of a plastic bag, the aforementioned petrol can, and water.
