Hallo! I turn movement into music, play with emotion and combine acoustic instruments with computers and technology, to create as many different sounds as I possibly can.

I'm a musician / sound designer / programmer. 

I enjoy the tension of performing live, whether being a “music artist”, doing an installation or sounds for theatre or movies.
I'm working a lot with a visual programming language called Max/MSP/Jitter, doing sound installations, making the audience interact with my concerts, and making non-musical objects become instruments that are playable by anyone regardless of prior musical training or skill.

I'm getting more into composing, mixing and circut bending and making electronics interact with computers. I am currently exploring different ways of triggering specific emotions at the listener, such as discomfort, fear, joy, sadness and the state of trance.

I am currently involved in a project called Spectrogram along with interaction designer Sebastian Rønde Thielke. 
Spectrogram is about doing concerts where people are able to participate, and affect the music, using technologies such as smartphones, motion capturing etc. 
We want to play concerts where it's important that it is you who are present, because the music would develop different otherwise.
We want to use the smartphone as a social media, making people able to socially interact where they are, not having to pay attention to virtual social connections.

Short introduction to Spectrogram

An example about my audioworks, is called "Sadomasochism", which is a piece about the emotions that we experience as witnesses to events we are not in control of. The listener hears the sound of someone getting strangulated, and the piece ends with a release, meaning the victim is set free. 

The title is a reference to the situations where people affect pain on others or themselves, and how it might could sound like.
