PAL installation @CTM festival 2023
The Participative Audio Lab (PAL)︎︎︎ is an initiative I founded in early 2023 which is focused on the development of open source participative music distribution tools.
To mark the inauguration of PAL, a system for live inter-remote composition titled CC0 (Collective Control 0)︎︎︎ was designed through a public collective hackathon.
On 31.02.23 after 2 months of collective making, CC0 went live within the context of CTM festival 2023; public participants were thus allowed to take part in a live interdependent composition accessible online or within HAU2 in Berlin.
The system CC0 thus consists of three different instruments: “The Forum, Pendulum, and Pulse”.

Myriorama︎︎︎
Myriorama is a electroacoustic piano restoration/redesign company I founded in 2016.
It is a project intended to reflect on shared living environments (aka. living rooms) by designing and restoring the instruments and elements that define these spaces.
A focus has been thus set on restoring pianos as an essential way to redefine the living room.
Beyond piano restoration, future Myriorama projects include restoration manuals as well as furniture objects designed for remote-interconnected living environments.

(WIP) Intercultural Interfaces
Since November 2023 I’ve had the pleasure to be working with Berlin-based Bildungsflügel NGO. They are focused in supporting kids with refugee status through free german lessons as well as workshops and activities to help them integrate. In this regard, I’ve provided a series of electronic music workshops to help them understand basic concepts of music but also to enable them to make their own songs through freely accessible equipment.
Beyond striving to teach the kids new tools for self expression, I believe that these electronic music workshops can enable them a new understanding of our common modern technological phenomena.
Taking part in this project has been a beautiful experience to say the least, and it has inspired me to continue developing music instruments that can be easily accessible and playable through any phone.
