2’2km
2014 – headphones – woundwalk
Composed in collaboration with Gyz la Rivière, for Soundtrack City and Worm. It is permanently available at Worm (and at soundtrack city).
The soundwalk ‘2.2 kilometres’ starts at WORM towards Eendrachtsplein through the entire Nieuwe Binnenweg and ends at the Lage Erfbrug. It consists of recordings from the Nieuwe Binnenweg and other parts of the city, as proposing a soundscape exchange. The piece is also concerned with a sound historical memory of the street. For that reason, there is a certain revivalism implied by the use of specific sounds that once belonged there.

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.
