In my sound installations, I work with multichannel speaker setups to create immersive sonic environments that can inhabit a wide range of spaces. A central concern in these works is the illusion of movement in sound—how auditory motion and spatial presence shape the way we perceive and experience a place.
For several years, I focused on site-specific installations, each one tuned to the acoustics and character of its location (see earlier works). Over time, however, I became increasingly interested in what happens when a sound installation is removed from its original site and recontextualized elsewhere. This curiosity stems from my background as a painter: a painting can be exhibited in various rooms, under different lighting conditions, and still retain its essence. I began to wonder whether a similar continuity could be achieved with sound—whether a sound field could travel from one place to another while maintaining its identity.
To explore this, I began developing modular sound systems—adaptable frameworks designed to respond to different architectural and acoustic conditions, while preserving the core movement and integrity of the sound. These modular works allow me to revisit the same composition in new settings, offering both consistency and variation. In this way, the installation becomes not just a reaction to a specific site, but a flexible, evolving entity—one that carries its own sonic identity across space and time.
At the moment, I am developing six sound installations:
– SPHERICALS
– TUBES
– ACOUSTICALS
– CUBICALS
– CROSSES
– OCTAHEDRONS
SPHERICALS
Black spherical speakermodules hanging from the ceiling in a space in a variabel three dimensional grid.
The speakermodules can be hang at three or seven different levels in a equilateral triangular grid .
The size of the installation may vary.
TUBES
An offspring of SPHERICALS ment to be used in more intimate smaller places
ACOUSTICALS
White disks facing the building using the space as a reflector of sound.
In this system the speaker module is flat and round and the speaker is directed to the ceiling, wall or floor of a space. The modules are placed in an equilateral triangular grid.
The size of the installation may vary and can be installed either indoors or outdoors.
CUBICLES
A rigid architectonial structure in space with the speakers placed in the corners.
The size of the structure may vary and can be installed either indoors or outdoors.
CROSSES
Diagonally positioned black crosses with speakers mounted at the ends of each arm, forming a triangular grid both on the floor and above the audience.
The size of the structure may vary and can be installed either indoors or outdoors.
OCTAHEDRONS
A structure made of octahedrons with the speakers placed in the middle of the sides.
The size of the structure may vary and can be installed either indoors or outdoors.
Video’s
The video’s below are showing filmed models or already realized installations. Note that the special spatial quality of moving sound in a sound field is impossible to capture on stereo or even surround audio formats.

Sound Fields
The audio tracks below are stereo down mixes of two sound fields I made. The original sound fields are made for up to 24 speakers and recorded for ten hours each on a multitrack recorder.
