Treatise of a purr is a play in three acts. It starts with curiosity did nothing to the cat, follows with the cat and the glove and ends with a scalded cat, who was said to be afraid of cold water. The scalded cat is the final act, which completes the “treatise of a purr”. In it, the cat returns to face a new element. May fire walk with him.

Although each act can be played autonomously, they depend on one another to formulate its sense. The piece uses a variable arrangement of loudspeakers, in three different sets. It is an exercise of “sound theatre” as a result of “staging sound fiction”.

2014 – 6 channels – loop

This piece is a site-specific composition created for the passage in Usti Nad Labem (Cz), turned into a gallery dedicated to sound art.
6 channels are aligned in the corridor, a passage that connects the centre to an older part of the town.

Jenga Walking is a sound installation based on affection. Due to the characteristics of the passage (a dark, cold and impersonal space) I chose a sound that relates to the passers-by in a friendly way. Eventually, each of the transients has its own affection for the sound in question, once it is recognized. Moreover, the sound is not foreign to the space itself, not only because it happens “in reality” quite frequently, but also because its acoustic properties match to the space. The piece results from the prominent presence of dogs in czech society and the charming quietness of individuals walking their dogs at the end of the day, when social routine is in pause and it gives turn to personal habits. Ideally, the sound will relate to the space as a cross over between these two moments just as much as the gallery is a cross over between two distinct parts of the city.

I’m in debt to my dear friends Isabel and Pedro, for Jenga is the name of their inspiring dog.

2014 – front array/back array – 20 min

For it is the second act, it follows the idea of a main character established in “curiosity did nothing to the cat”. However, that character did not follow a logic social context previously, and so it continues. This piece is searching for ways to frame sound, in its specificity and detail, as a sonic scanner willing to find an internal logic in its own fictionality.
The sounds in use are a slightly counter-intuitive of agglomerated sounds and their hermitic same in content and form.

2012 – 7 channels – 12 min

This piece is made for 7 speakers, which are placed under the audience’s seats. This first part is ca. 10 minutes long and it is the beginning of “teatrise of a purr” which lasts ca. 60 minutes and works the idea of sound theater.

2012-15 – 5 channels – 20 min

This piece aims at riding the listener through a walk that should sound both familiar and foreign. The sounds have a strong visual reference, for it is objectively abstract.
This composition started as an attempt to find balance between the idea (the abstraction) and the material itself (the object), thinking of the legitimacy of the former and the possibilities of the latter. It aims at generating different sensibilities in relation to reality and fiction. It is a walk, which starts after its beginning and ends before it is over. It wanders between what is present and what is not, what was been included or not; and how much weight can absence have.

2011 – 4 channels + headphones – 17 min

“to know the momentum of a society, measure the footsteps of its citizens” (r. murray schafer, in the tuning of the world).
The curiosity to break geographical limitations, trying to be in different places at the same time, in between, the possibility of being nowhere, the edge of a continuous transition. Seeking for unbalanced positions, that of the surroundings, allowing my body to swing freely, throughout intuition, creating micro routines in an improvised perception, learning with my own ambiguity of listening, making choices. And wondering about listening and how I can open the door for an invitation that has no claims beyond the act itself of inviting.

A composition for 4 channels + headphones premiered in studio loos in The Hague.

an exercise in the concepts of sound documentary and sound fiction. it aims to be a pleasant journey into this universe of sounds, until one is able to liberate oneself and the sounds from any referential logics.
: swing lives is my first multichannel work.
: s’wing lives was awarded the 1st prize in the category of “electronic sonorities” @ FIM.
