As a scientist I used to approach nature with exact measuring instruments. With the obtained data I contributed to the construction of theoretical models that describe natural phenomena. Since then I have been intrigued by the mimetic nature of those theories and other narratives with which we try to grasp the world we live in. Although mimesis comes in many different forms from myths to models, it is definitely a very fundamental aspect of human life.
As an artist I still explore my environment, now by using sound related tools. I work with field recordings and appropriate mimetic phenomena from both language and music, such as onomatopoeia, scores or composition techniques like the canon or fugue. With the resulting material I compose sonic reflections of my surroundings that allow me to find a place within it - more than any abstract model could achieve. In that way I probe the spacetime continuum of my own existence as well as that of our being in general, hoping to find an answer to the underlying question: what is being somewhere?
And that over and over again.
