Coming and Going
2024
They come and they go, shapes brushing past,
real until they aren't, banks of mist within your grasp.
A gulf you find between you
into whose yielding gullet you readily slide,
out, out alone
out to the other side.
Coming and Going is a wavefield synthesis composition for double bass, cello, and electronics. The piece centers the spectral unravelling of the low D of the double bass (72.08 Hz), which evolves from the rich tonalities of the gut strings into pure noise.
The composition emerged through close collaboration with the performers, working associatively to uncover and sustain various harmonics of their instruments, and to connect these harmonic textures with expressive gestures.
The composition premiered at the 2024 WFS Festival at Amare, Den Haag NL.
Featuring:
Ron Veprik (double bass)
Noémie Pestre (cello)

About
I’m an artist, architect, and musician working across media to reflect on the dynamics of anthropogenic environments. Through a conceptual lens, I create immersive performances, interactive sound sculptures, and site-specific installations that explore the interplay of sound, space, and perception.
Recent projects range from acousmatic spatial compositions to explorations of light-sound transduction, discrete-time feedback systems, and algorithmic interpretations of graphic scores.
I hold a master’s degree in architectural design from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and studied Sonology at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, as well as Media Arts and ArtScience at HfG Karlsruhe and KABK Den Haag. My works and performances have been presented at venues such as Museum West (NL), Garage Rotterdam (NL), ZKM (DE), Rewire Festival (NL), Lapinlahden Lähde Studios (FI), Národní dům (CZ), and Nova (BE).
