The piece was part of an EU free space project, in which we put an interactive-reactive audiovisual installation in a public space in Redi shopping mall. This project was created with the game artist Juraj Kyppö, who created all the imagery while I created and built the drone machine that controlled the visuals. Together we wanted to see how much we could change a room just using audio and images.
We put an analog sound machine in the room, which people could control modifying the sounds. This sounds changed the images projected in the room.
The drone machine had a wide sonic range, from calming to distressing and the images followed the same logic. The result was that people could change the room from a meditative, relaxing room to a chaotic one with a. big spectrum in between.
Performance in Design Museo with analog synths and real time reactive visuals made in touch designer, project made with Juraj Kyppö, who created the 3D images and development of the project. The project was inspired by life & fractal quality of cell mitosis, from cells to humanoid form.

My work combines analog synthesizers with acoustic and digital instruments to create unique moods, feelings, textures and soundscapes. When producing or composing, mixing styles is where I feel at home.
Musician and industrial designer. I have been making music for 20 years. My beginnings were in Chile playing keyboards in a psychedelic rock band for 10 years. Since then I´ve been involved in music until today.
My main instruments are the keys but I also enjoy playing guitar, bass, drums and singing. I would define myself as a mood/feeling musician, fan of experimenting and mixing styles, without loosing track of melody and musicality.
