I am a curator and musician specialising in experimental and new music, sound installation and 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 spaces and contexts.
