For me sound is very physical energy and is specially powerful when composed for a space that it is meant to be experienced. I often use spatial and live audio, and some sensors that make the installation alive in the moment of time and space.

Here are examples of installations I have made and been part of

Etiäisiä / Premonitions - Tuomas Norvio (Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, Musiikkitalo, 2023)

Etiäisiä – Premonitions is an electronic sound and space installation commissioned by the HPO for the foyer of the Musiikkitalo concert hall. The seeds of the sound material can be found in Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 5 and Anna Clyne’s new Time and Tides violin concerto.
