manifesto:

Biologically we are animals, to be precise mammals. Adaptive mutations in the evolutionary cycle, derived from genetic changes in response to changes in the conditions of the surrounding environment, condition the evolution of the Human genus which over time has taken over all the species present on Earth.

The processes used by the sound artist derive from improvisations on acoustic instruments such as African percussion and drums, natural instruments such as pine fir trunks, branches, ice, stones found and recorded in the woods of Northern Finland. The compositional idea is inspired by biological life and its evolutionary and adaptive processes.

A generative reworking takes place by the machine, programmed with probabilistic steps and quantisation, thanks to which the recorded portions are chosen randomly, after which the recorded portions are further processed, thus giving life to music with sounds that depend exclusively on the starting sounds, that is, they react and model themselves thanks to the surrounding sound environment, they are consolidated by strongly characterising the shape and character of the improvisation performance.

Currently he is developing a patch “automa” for the sampler Octatrack elektron. The sound is fast self shaping due to the mic inputs. responsive and generative.

His production is curated by SUPRANU Records label.
