In March 2009, I released an album on net label Panospria.



This album attempts to bridge the gap between academic and urban approaches to sound art. I re-appropriate the technical and conceptual aesthetics of Hip-Hop and Dub idioms. These idioms are often neglected from sound art history and academic dissemination, despite their innovative uses of textural and timbral manipulation. In contrast, I believe that King Tubby and Kool Herc were using electroacoustic techniques as complex as those of Stockhausen or John Cage.


Live improvisation with Peter Kutin This is an excerpt from a live performance on February 12, 2009 at Le Cagibi in Montreal. This was an improvised collaboration between Austrian sound artist Peter Kutin and myself that we diffused through a 4-channel speaker configuration.  


Where does time go?
This composition was produced in 2006. It is one of my first attempts at musique concrete/tape music. The source material includes bicycle bells, mechanical clocks, and digital clocks. This piece was inspired by John Oswald's "Bell Speeds".
