About
I am a composer, sound artist, improviser, organizer, and teacher whose practice exists at the confluence of environmental listening, acoustic research, and experimental composition. Through acoustic compositions, installations, field recordings, performances, and community-based collective-listening events, I seek to reveal the hidden architectures of sound—from microscopic vibrations within plants to the vast resonance of ecosystems and planets—questioning how we might listen more deeply and expand our human perception to the worlds we inhabit.
Sound is my primary means of navigating, exploring, experiencing, learning and communicating with the world. At the root of my work is an attempt to grasp some understanding about the nature of sound: its behavior, acoustic organization, and its environmental, social, and political roles. I uncover and amplify hidden layers and inherent structures (human and non-human) and musical patterns that occur acoustically, while exploring how sonic phenomena intersect with the physiology of the ear, the psychology of listening, and human consciousness.
My works often incorporate a dimension of imaginary and speculative sonic worlds, between crypto-zoology, crypto-botany and futuristic folklore. Fields of research and creative work include prehistoric harmony, sonic taxonomy, augmented hearing/listening practices, sonic resistance, sound and environment, and echo/resonance in musical, natural, political, and social context.
Completed a DMA in music composition from UC Santa Cruz in 2015 and currently resides in Haifa.
Teaches at Haifa University, Musrara school of Art and Society, and the Technion Institute of technology.
Co-artistic director/composer/performer at the Tel-Aviv based ensemble Musica Nova.
