I am a curator and musician specialising in experimental and contemporary classical music, sound art, as well as broader interdisciplinary practices. In my curatorial work I strive to create conditions for artistic autonomy, this in the framework of close collaboration. My recent projects and research focus on the ways in which sound is embedded into different physical and social spaces.
