Coming from an experimental field, I wish to challenge the students across genres and discourses, rooted in an artistic and knowledge-based field. I am interested in the interdisciplinary and how artistic creation, practical ability and theoretical knowledge can and should inform and cross-pollinate each other. Furthermore, it is important to me that any session with the students takes place in mutual respect, that we can see eye-to-eye despite differences in positions and skill sets. It is also important that the students can be heard in a constructive way, so that valuable comments and feedback can be incorporated in the continuous development of the classes. Here I have a special focus on diversity, and continuously strive to create space for perspectives other than the usual.

My artistic work is primarily in the fields of experimental sound composition and electroacoustic music. I seek to investigate the potentials of sound as a conveyor of meaning within an artistic field, and develop my work through experimental compositions. My practice is interdisciplinary and research-based with composition and sound design as methods of telling stories through sound – inspired by approaches such as soundscape, musique concrète and the futurists’ bruitism. In my work with organising sounds, I explore sonic structures – such as when field recordings no longer seem realistic or when a sonic structure appears musical – and thereby explore artistic, musical and narrative dimensions of the sound space.
