Dérive (2017) for string quartet and live-electronics explores the aesthetic consequences of different ideas of the role of subjectivity in sonification processes, the concept of dérive (drift) and the notion of musical structure as a translation of a real physical space.

How do you imagine a new kind of theatre? Where terror is not a genre, but a collective and emotional ritual. At its core lies the relationship between character, costume, and monster. Starting from the concept of an art of the underground, the research explores how fear, trauma and memory shape creation. The character wears a costume to be seen, but it is the monster — emerging from the subconscious — that speaks the unspeakable. He work unfolds through drawing, material collection (feathers, petals), costume prototyping, 3D modeling, and the creation of a short videogame demo: this builds emotional attachment to the protagonist, who will later return in a theatrical performance, turning the stage into a ritual of recognition. Not a political theatre. Not a moral one. But a theatre of the deeply human — where the audience no longer watches, but witnesses.

The project develops as the creation of a virtual environment for the analysis of the technical characteristics of virtual reality as a medium. To support the possibility of using high-quality virtual reality for the creation of immersive worlds and the production of works of art. The case chosen to reproduce is the performance Imponderabilia by Marina Abramović.

This research investigates the active role of light as a core compositional element in contemporary music performance by exploring the integration of light, sound, and movement in real-time environments. Traditionally, light has been treated as a secondary aspect of performance, primarily serving as a means of illumination or visual enhancement. However, this study examines how light can function beyond this conventional role, actively shaping musical structure and influencing perception. Through the analysis of live performances and hands-on experimentation with analogue oscillators, photoresistors, and DMX systems, this research explores how these elements function as both medium and material within a piece. My compositions, alongside works by composers such as Viola Yip and Hugo Morales Murguía, serve as case studies, illustrating light’s transformation in performance from a passive visual aid to a structural force. These works highlight how light, when treated as a compositional element, reconfigures performer agency and audience perception. By challenging conventional notions of light in music, this research contributes to ongoing discussions on multimedia composition and performance aesthetics. It proposes an alternative perspective in which light is not merely an accessory to sound but an integral component of musical structure, expanding the possibilities for interdisciplinary performance practice.

This visual essay explores images generated through AI-based expansion of a simple photographic composition. Without commands or prompts, the system infers human gestures, shadows, and presences — inventing what was never there. The project questions authorship, visibility, and the power of symbolic residue when language no longer mediates creation. It is not about representation — it is about refusal, inference, and the unsettling persistence of images beyond intention.

In a world saturated with sonic and social noise, this project positions listening as a deliberate, ethical, and relational practice. Through a series of interdisciplinary performances and compositions, I investigate how improvisation and spatial acoustics can cultivate human connection, challenge perceptual norms, and activate space as a responsive collaborator. Drawing on theories from acoustic ecology, performance studies, and architecture, particularly the work of Beatriz Colomina, Paulina Oliveros, Blesser and Salter, I explore how environments shape musical communication and identity. Improvisation functions not only as a musical technique, but also as a method of social engagement and shared authorship. This research embraces openness, embodiment, and collective presence as central to how music is created, perceived, and lived.
