About works / performance

My work is centered in the creation of interactive works where the active participation of the observer is fundamental to complete the work. The use of sound is also a key element on my work complemented with video, image, or kinetic sculpture. Currently I work on the creation of interactive and multimedia sound installations using antique acoustic pianos extended with sensors, solenoids, and computers. I also compose sonic site-specific journeys and play with the Juum duet.
