Being and Space(electroacoustic composition)
'Communication between people isn't about the language we use. When someone speaks, we do not listen to the words but the tone in which they were spoken and the meaning behind them, which goes further and deeper than the speaker's ability to express themselves in one language or another. If words are just sounds that resonate in our head until we form a sonic opinion about the speaker, does it really matter what language they are using or is it more about the person who is saying those words? To answer this question I decided to record myself speaking in English over and over again, hoping that in a process of doing so I could go beyond the words themselves and reveal the essence of the person speaking.'

(electroacoustic composition)
This sonic memoir, inspired by a trip to Paris with my mom, questions the purpose and the meaning of our memories. It explores the way we remember things, the order in which we remember them and the fact that some of them we remember for a very long time, whilst some others we forget like they never happened. It proposes a concept in which stories could be noted or recorded with every minute detail in the first instance, and then reconstructed by a means of chance operations to portray the forgetting and the remembering that subconsciously occurs afterwards.

This composition attempts to explain what happens in the brain of a person who tries to use their second language as their first, in relation to their digital counterparts - computers. It can be hilariously funny; especially when a bunch of people tries to converse in their second language, but most of the time it is confusing, frustrating and downright painful. The better our second language, the more difficult it is for others to perceive us as foreign, which can sometimes lead to misunderstanding and misinterpretation.
