I played the live immersive version of The Blank Screen at the Nordic Music Festival during the multichannel concert in the nice Salurinn Concert Hall. For this occasion Ríkharður H. Friðriksson and the venue team had setup an immersive 3d sound system of 21.2 loudspeakers.

I performed my piece on midicontrollers.

I performed the piece Silver Halide Islands twice at the Nordic Music Days festival in Torshavn, Faroe Islands. This piece was a product of a workshop I did together with the nice class of Photography students at the amazing school Glasir in Torshavn. The students made photographs and I played my Serge synthesizer together with the photos, with an electronic analog analysis of each students photo. The analysis signals controlled the synthesizer at the same time that I played it.

Multiplex(ing) is a new piece for recreations of the analog Buchla 100 series modular system synthesizer. The original Buchla 100 series modular was built by Donald Buchla and installed at the San Francisco Tape Music Center in 1965. Also an analog video modular system from LZX Industries is used, with a resemblance to video art from the 70s. The audio and the visual signals are intertwined and connected between the modules using feedback loops to construct new cybernetic systems for music and audiovisual art. An intense audiovisual experience for the listening of the eyes and seeing of the ears.

The piece was premiered during the 3 Small Spaces festival at Tegen 2 Gallery March 5th 2021.
