When I was a kid I often tried to imagine the Infinity of outer space.

And I always failed.

"Infinity" is a concept still too abstract for me to imagine, to think.

Somewhere there is always an end to everything.

Every sentence has an ending.

No wonder I like looped sounds.

It´s strange, sound has no body,

only time brings its extensions in space.

And in real space, outer space, there are no sounds...

I think of my work as a play with identities and spaces.

The work I’m a reporter is a fictionous documentary and deals with the impact of the media.

Another piece of work, Space full of pirates is a chaotic soundscape of asymmetric associations,

an non-verbal story of how hard it is to think of nothing.

Composed out of transformed and disguised everyday sounds

like voice, fire, water, footsteps, kitchen tools that are given

a digitalized extreme makeover.
