What motivated your creative production pursuit and how did this choice influence your essence or change your life?
Freedom is the driving force behind my artistic growth and has significantly shaped my life. It aligns directly with my core values and fuels my relentless pursuit of experimentation. By that, I emphasise the value I place on the liberty it provides, constantly challenging myself to explore new directions and adopt innovative methods in my creative pursuits. This inclination towards experimentation is a key aspect of why I describe my music as experimental. I should also mention that my sensitivity as an individual prompts me to maintain an openness that allows me to be shaped by the environments and communities I encounter while crafting any body of work.
Some of your tracks seem like a tapestry of senses and feelings, materialising inner meditations. Do you have a “life mantra,” something you believe in, that characterises you both as a person and an artist?
I deeply appreciate this perspective, as it harmonises well with my own vision of how I connect with my music. I delight in infusing an air of whimsy and fantasy into my musical creations—a sensory whirlwind that invites surrender, leading to a profound sense of peacefulness. This energy is a constant presence in my daily life; I identify as a peaceful person and have recently embraced Zen practice. My guiding mantra revolves around cultivating inner peace, a theme that echoes through my work as I aim to convey this serene energy within the context of my seemingly chaotic approach.
Tell us the track or piece of music you listen to most often that gives you the best energy, and one that, even if you listen to it less, holds strong significance for you.
I recently have been listening to a lot of African-American Sound Recordings. Each of their project brings me a lot of comfort and expansiveness when I’m tuned in. I appreciate the field recordings, the noise and the deliberate use of silence in their music. It is very rare to find an artist whose entire discography stands out equally with each release.
Your essence reflects in your productions without filters. If you were to analyse what you feel while expressing yourself in different fields (art, performance, and music), do you notice different sensations? Is there a sphere you particularly favour?
I define myself as both a sound and performance artist, valuing each component equally within my practice. These elements mutually influence one another, playing a pivotal role in shaping my creative process. Sound enables me to evoke diverse atmospheres, while performance allows me to embody and express these atmospheres. The sacredness of performance, particularly in its improvisational state, empowers me to explore new directions in my sound, resulting in moments that are unique to the specific performance space.
