IN MY ROOM

The sound for the installation “in my room” is a continuation and expansion of my most recent album “agora”.
I worked in a small room, using everything I had at my fingertips. The noise of a guitar amplifier, a passing tram, the construction site in front of my window, my guitars, synthesizers, various kitchen appliances and utensils etc., all of which were used as sound sources.
In the end the whole room, a microcosm, became an instrument itself.
