Interaction and Installation

a state
Most of my music is meant more to be a state rather than a development. A state which changes over time, contains movement and variation, is alive in one way or the other, and is especially during the compositorial process itself more a permutating installation than a fixed set of events sequenced in time that has a definite beginning and end.

a space Since the very beginning of my musical works I considered the placement of my music in a room as an integral part of the work itself, and and I continue today with each concert to set up a situation in which the music interacts with a given space rather than occupying it. My interest in the relationship between sound and space, as well as my desire for the creation of complex and slowly changing structures, inevitably leads to a fascination for more sculptural, location-releated works of sound art.

a person Furthermore, in another semi-artistic life I am very much involved in solving interface and interaction design problems for a music software company, an occupation fuelled by my fascination with and reflection upon how people use technology to create art.

These three elements; music as state, its installation in a given space, and the potential interaction between that music and the space controlled or influenced by an audience, are the basis of a series of installation works I have created over the last couple of years.

The works presented in this section are only a small excerpt. A lot of earlier installations are missing here; when I made them I did not consider them in any way as important and there is no documentation left over. There are more installation projects in my mind and I hope I'll find the time to realize them. This pages here will also contain proposals for future works. If you are interested in exhibiting them, let us know...
