Maquina de Humo

"Maquina de Humo" emerged from a captivating collaboration with Charles Anderson, performed live at the American Dance Festival. Positioned behind the scrim at the back of the stage, I was enveloped in smoke and could only see the dancers' silhouettes, creating a powerful visual impact. "From Over There" also stems from working with Charles; it evokes memories of my early gigs as a musician, playing trumpet secluded in the woods and awaiting my cue. "Time Passes" is a remix of a work made for Lachan Jaarda, where I adore her idea for the simplicity of repeating notes and the unique interpretation of each instrument. "Brush Wire" originated from a project collaboration and features a blend of "wire brush particle" with piano from Nil Frahm's "Noire" piano instrument; it’s a piece I revived from an unused section, echoing a former housemate's belief that "One person's garbage, is another person's art." Lastly, "Hills and Valleys" was developed during a project with Joey Anderson and includes what I consider one of the coolest sonic textures I've ever created, marking a deep, resonant moment during the peak.
