about me:
Hello, I am a composer of contemporary music working with acoustic instruments, analog and digital electronics, and field recordings. For the past five years, I have been developing a practice that explores the idea of sound as an acoustic phenomenon that, as artistic material, offers the unique characteristic of being fundamentally spectral: although sound is emitted by vibrating entities in physical space, the absence of a bodily materiality by the time it is perceived by the listener lends itself to an experience determined by what is not physically and tangibly present. With this as a point of departure, I have been building a musical language that is defined by a narrative around what is not actually there, an aesthetics of absence and the illusion of presence, an aural phantasmagoria of sorts.
In May 2023 I received my PhD in music composition from Harvard University, where I studied with Chaya Czernowin and Hans Tutschku. I also have a Bachelor of Music degree in composition from McGill University, and a masters degree in composition and electronic music from the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber Dresden, where I studied with Mark Andre and Franz Martin Olbrisch.
