I am engaged in questions related to material based translation across mediums; reproduction and representation of sonic and visual ideas. Using audio/video recordings, visual scores, and playing, I create site-responsive works. I use the term “Nonotations” to describe hybrids of visual art and musical notation, blending scores, reel tapes, video, field recordings and my instrument. The Campanula Quinton is a new bowed instrument with 5 strings and 13 sympathetic strings that creates a rich and expressive spectrum of overtones. It carries its presence far regardless of the acoustic setting thus it forms an independent voice able to enter in a dialectical dialogue with the encountered space. I am constantly trying to expand the sonic palette by attaching objects to the strings and bow; spirals, sticks, leaves, small vibrators, bells, balls, toys... In the spirit of curiosity and playfulness.
