composer. visual artist. philosopher. activist.
i make music and forms. i work with ideas and people.
a way of being
in the world.
sound, matter, thought and collective life are intertwined in my work. the political dimension takes shape through the others: in what i create, how i work and the relationships that become possible.
four ways into the same practice
01musical
voices, composition and the stage.
02visual
paintings, sculptures and matter in transformation.
03philosophical
art, experience and democratic life.
04political
a way of making, sharing and taking part.
