My work spans concert electroacoustic and acousmatic composition through to sound-art, large-scale installations and live performances. The focus of this work stems from an acousmatic approach to sound, the aural images it can evoke, and an interest in high quality or unusual recording techniques that reveal detail the ear will normally miss. Although I am freelance, I try to sustain the research side of my work as I find this adds important life to my artistic creations. The spatio-musical potential of acousmatic sound has been one of my research and creative interests over the past ten years.
As a 'composer' I create musical structures that require the listener to listen attentively throughout the duration of the work. These works are most suited to concert hall, home listening or radio. As a 'sound-artist' I present the audience with an open experience that allows their own choice of listening approach. These works are mainly in the form of installations (sometimes interactive), and they may also exist for home listening. Both types of work may contain similar sound and a similar approach to sound. The critical difference is the approach to structure, time, space and intended effect on the listener. In 2006 my work was awarded the Nordic Council Music Prize.
