A selection of my sound installations, music releases, music for other media, and other sound works.
My artistic research practice examines the aesthetics of music and sound in relation to complexity, ecology, environment, globalisation, possible worlds and the future society. Drawing from assemblage theory, geophilosophy, posthumanism and planetary thinking, it explores and develops the notion of geomusical intelligence as well as more transdisciplinary applications of music and sound art as an agency for societal progress. Collaborating globally across the arts, my musical interests revolve around the possibilities and combinations of music and sound art, new global musical styles, contemporary classical and generative music.
Since 2001 I have produced compositions and sound pieces for performance and theatre, contemporary dance, short films, new media, interdisciplinary art exhibitions; created public sound installations in Belgium, Finland, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the USA; released twelve solo and five collaborative albums; performed concerts in Europe, West Africa and Japan. My works have been presented in the Dak’Art and Marrakech Biennale, Frieze Art Fair, Soundseeing, Musica nova Helsinki, Shubbak Festival, LACMA and the Seattle Art Museum, among others. My related articles and essays to date have focused on sound art practices in Africa and appeared in various publications specialising in African contemporary art.
