ABOUT THE TRACK:
I focus on the sound itself: its origin, its context, the change of environmental sound, the change of perception when sounds are brought into new contexts.
The border between sound and music is main interest. And to cross it back and forth. From analytic listening to awareness of sound.
My work is based on own field recordings and interviews.
