I'm fascinated by slowness, by time stretching out.

My ambient sound is time that stretches and fades slowly.

Reverberation creates comet-like tails for my sounds, crossing the skies of listening, of my listeners.

I try to work on slowness, to slow down everything, my thoughts, my life, my music.

It's a fascinating experience to halve the tempo of a multi-track recording and discover a completely new piece, in a much more fluid and organic space-time, where the trajectory of each sound can be followed by ear and mind.
