Sound is also very kinetic for me personally. It makes me move and movement can deliver empathy between people and creatures. That’s why I enjoy working with contemporary dance so much.
I always try to find the right technique for delivering the sound for the specific performance and compose or co-compose the sound and music for them.
Here are examples of some works I have been part of
