Dedicatorias
* 2020 stock * Dedicatorias is a series of 60 sound works each lasting 1 minute which were largely accomplished between 2013 and 2015. The list of dedications is neither exhaustive nor can it be.

Radio is the paramount reference.

Radioscapes

In each location, the whole radio spectrum was methodically recorded during two weeks and then transcribed into a single audio track. On each side, an image representing the levels of the received frequen…
