My work as a creative music designer is the intersection between music and (performing) arts, where I build abstract sonic things and music. The music is intended to carry the story in relation to another discipline in art. For example: designing an autonomous customized music score for a fashion show or an art installation, in collaboration with another artist /designer’s vision. I translate a particular concept into sounds.
Using different layers in my work, electronic music, piano, cello sounds, music research, concept, emotion, color, speed, darkness, light. For the stage, for movement (choreography) sound coordination and performing. I have a network of professionals around me, if I need a special sound or music request.
