about

I am passionate about capturing and working with sounds from past times and those that formally could be considered audio "errors" or damaged recordings, to create new sonic and musical works, giving life to new sensory experiences. The main attribute that captivated me about the original sound was its texture. It was not only the sensation and its sonic beauty. It also triggered memories of my childhood, a time when I was surrounded by instruments and recording equipment in my parents' home studio and when I used my father's collection of blank cassette tapes to record tunes from the radio at night.

My intention in this creation was to subtly process and keep that texture present during 3 minutes and write the music over it, while listening to it. The result is a soundscape that explores the dialogue between past and present and reflects the main emotions linked to childhood and the beginning of the relationship with the world of analog recordings. I focused on building an immersive, timeless, dreamy and welcoming soundscape. A homescape that would take you to a safe and warm place where you can close your eyes, pay attention and listen.

I believe that sounds will not get lost or disappear, as long as we appreciate them, think about them as substantial inputs with unlimited possibilities and invite them to our creative processes in order to give life to new sound/musical works, which could also be interconnected with other disciplines, achieving unique and memorable experiences.
