My instrumental as well as electroacoustic works are inspired from Nathalie Sarraute’s « novels » and Morton Feldman’s music. Sarraute investigates the area of sensation in a very grasping manner and Feldman goes ahead rethinking the notion of time and duration. in the acoustic context. My work improvising is also involved with the same issues which is reflected in my use of an increasingly reduced sound material.
