List of works
My compositions move between documentation (notated or electroacoustic music) and a space for creativity with a range of interpretive possibilities between fixed and free playing. With ensembles, I mostly work in collaborative processes where I bring in a concrete repertoire of elements to use in the composition. In addition to musical preliminary considerations and notated fragments, these can be sound snippets, forms of (movement) interaction, a content idea/question, a spatial concept, or performative concepts.
