“My more conscious sonic journey started in my late 20’s when I constantly hung out with musicians/producers/makers and figured that in my visual works I am reflecting a lot on the music and the ambience I am involved with.

“PERIOD”- Sustainable sound journey

The form of collaboration, the engagement with other like minded humans, the complex feedback system during working together are part of the research towards a stronger artist community right here and right now. As in this case, I am going to invite mainly Rotterdam based artists with different cultural and musical backgrounds from the electronic and jazz scene. To play improvised music with little structural build up and record their divers inputs, to become part of “PERIOD”. The only samples we’ll use during the project are bird sounds and Transylvanian folk music. The creators are coming from such countries as: The Netherlands, Italy, Slovenia, Lithuania, Korea, Romania and Serbia.
