Rhapsodia
17’, 2016
22:00 — 22:20
This work, dedicated to Marceline Lartigue, consists of two movements and one interlude. The sound textures and loops of Rhapsodia are radically profound – in the space their frequencies occupy and in the sharp temporal trails they leave behind. This archival work is diffused by Phillipe Dao.

The Falling Man
24’, 2020
22:20 — 22:50
A three-part play which references the famous photo taken by Richard Drew during the World Trade Center bombing. Diving into the unknown, The Falling Man draws parallels with the lockdown periods experienced during the COVID-19 crisis. Unlike Drew’s photo, the play attempts to have a much happier ending.

Forma
23’, 2019
22:50 — 23:15
As an aesthetic experience, Forma resembles the gossamer wings of a moth reflecting the light of the moon. Combining the cello and synthesiser, a hazy fog descends, obscuring logic. In the haze, a mysterious intent unfolds – objects take shape and fade away, their appearance becoming a disappearance.
