Circuit
2022
Selected for Liminal Sounds annual open submissions are featured around a curator-devised theme "What is not a map?"
Everyday we cross electrical magnetic paths. Invisible boundaries affecting all that it surrounds with concealed interference. Electric fields detected using coils. A process called induction. Mapping electromagnetic paths to understand the complex web of interference surrounding us. Listening to electrical fields is like listening to the invisible.

Lurker
2019
Selected for Liminal Sounds annual open submissions are featured around a curator-devised theme "Retreat, Disappearance"
The word lurker with all of its negative connotations has always fascinated me. Although it became mainstream with the internet, its origin is much older. But why should it have negative connotations? Why can it be just someone who listens, observes and contributes when he or she thinks it’s opportune?Today we are much too worried of not being heard that we are pressured to contribute ideas without first thinking things through. So let’s lurk, observe and listen.
Play with Noise
Part of 60 Secondes Radio broadcast
Most of us have been in a situation where the noise is unbearable, hard to negotiate. In some cases it's not possible to avoid. The solution play with the noise, be creative. Use the noise to your advantage by manipulating it as it arrives at you ears.

Percussive Plane, from a photograph by O.W. Chow (in Sound Photography part of Cities and Memory
Percussive Plane - The photograph is of a large glass wall which I associate with large train stations.A large percussive surface exposed to wind, debris, rain, drizzle, sound waves and in the case of this photograph, man made noises from maintenance crews such a work ropes, glass cleaning tools and impacts. This large glass surface acts like a reflector amplifying the sounds that reach it. Found sounds where used to construct the soundscape.

"Hearing Vibrations" is on Radiophrenia 2017
"Hearing Vibrations" is scheduled for broadcast on Saturday the 12th of November at 5:30 pm.
Hear it on 87.9 FM if you in the Glasgow area or online.
Hearing vibrations, when inaudible sound transposes senses and touch goes to hearing. We feel vibrations but we don't hear them. They are never the less present. Capturing these vibrations with sensors bring these sounds back into the realm of the audible from the sense of touch.
These vibrations are transmitted through solids and the sound captured is different for each medium where the vibration is present while the source of the vibration remains the same. This work is based on this premises that although the vibrating source may be the same, the captured sound varies wit the medium.
The sounds captured for this work are of the vibrations produced by a small vibrating motor that is placed on various materials thus producing different sounds.
Radiophrenia 2017
The work Hearing Vibrations will be part of the Radiophrenia 2017 broadcast on 87.9FM.The event will take place in Glaslow from the 6th to the 19th of November 2017.

Shortwave flux - EAC Records Mexico
Shortwave flux, a piece made up of granular synthesis of shortwave radio recordings, was chosen by EAC Records Mexico to be part of their "CALL FOR WORKS EAC-C03"
Chosen works http://www.eacrecords.mx/post/158113235332/3ercompilado
Twenty eight - IFAR Musique Concrète Formes dans l’espace compilation
This work with a duration of 4`33`` was produced using sounds recorded inside an outside of the number 28 streetcar which circulates in Lisbon Portugal. It is a very old streetcar that crosses most of the city and is a tourist attraction.
The sounds were recorded inside the streetcar to capture the passenger noises with omnidirectional microphones and on the outside to capture the motor, rail and break noises using a short shotgun microphone.
All sound were recorded in mono and mixed to stereo. I tried to alter as little as possible the sounds, relying mostly on editing.
The sounds used in the work suffered the following processes, reversing of sound, sampling of small portions, repetition and panning.
"Fuzz" is part of the Wave Farm Short Waves / Long Distance Repository
Organized by Wave Farm and The North American Shortwave Association, the call was announced in conjunction with the 30th Anniversary of the Winter Shortwave Listener’s Fest and Wave Farm’s 20th Anniversary, both of which are celebrated in 2017.
