My work in the field of acousmatic music.
Composer of Acousmatic Music
Sounds are the material molded into forms—a path into the unknown, where sound remains alive in its constant transformation. Newly discovered sound facets challenge my imagination and drive the creative process forward. Through the art of sound editing, layering, and transformation, soundscapes emerge that transport us into unexplored worlds. Yet this journey does not end in the studio: the spaces hidden within sound, with all their delicate nuances, seek to be discovered and to unfold their musical fantasies in performance on the Acousmonium.
Interpreter on the Acousmonium
Interpreting acousmatic music means understanding sounds by their intrinsic qualities and embracing space as a dynamic instrument. The specially designed Acousmonium provides me with unique possibilities to realize these ideas. As an interpreter, I am equally committed to the work, its creator, and the audience.
I translate the spatial and sonic intentions of the composition into an experience of ephemeral, dynamically moving sound sculptures. The goal of my work is to transform listening into a pure moment of sensory awareness and spatial presence—a synthesis of precision, imagination, and emotion.
Developer of the Vienna Acousmonium
As the creator of the Vienna Acousmonium, I have designed a unique instrument that revolutionizes the realization and presentation of compositional ideas and spatial sound art. With its 64 channels and innovative Ambisonics dome, the Acousmonium sets new standards for musical expression. This speaker orchestra combines technical precision and artistic vision to shape, move, and transform sounds into vibrant sound sculptures. It is more than a tool for performance—it is a medium that integrates space itself as an essential part of the composition, making sound perceivable as a dynamic auditory artwork.
Researcher
My research is founded on the principle that the essence of sound—its qualities, facets, and spatial dimensions—forms the basis for artistic and scientific work. In the Virtual Vienna Acousmonium project, my work focuses on digitizing the interpretative possibilities of performing on Acousmonia. With Embodied Gestures, I explore sounds as a starting point for developing digital musical instruments. Through the ephemeral dynamically moving sound sculptures, I have developed a method of interpretative analysis that enables coherent and consistent interpretations of acousmatic works.
