Stimmung (2024, world premiere) 10’
Acousmatic music, quadrophonic
The word Stimmung in german means "tuning" and contains the word "voice". It also refers to a state of temper, mood or spirit. I used different recordings of human and non-human voices, intentionally and uninentionally captured during field recording trips. They are embedded in the environment, tuned to the atmosphere, in a quotidian temporality, part of a dense texture and traverse different states of consciousness and intelligibility: speaking, shouting, singing.

How beautiful is the future? (2019, revised 2024) - ???
Pipe organs, electronics, video
Two compositions from this project: In "Absolutely Tremendous", the human voice is rendered acoustically through a self-developed scanning technique by a self-built pipe organ. The voice is thus detached from the person, bringing the drama of the message to the fore. The acousmatic "In Paradisum" is in opposition to the first movement and can be interpreted in various ways.
Joris De Laet
Etude aux inattendus (2012) 8’43
Acousmatic music, octophonic
The composition follows a link between the structure of the sounds and their evolution over time. The trajectories of the chosen sound parameters converge and focus towards a precise end result. They can deviate when sound conglomerates disintegrate into a random state. Compound spatialisation is intended to maintain the transparency of the overall sound spectrum.

Voices Part IV – Hallucinations (2024, world premiere) 10’
Acousmatic music, 12-tracks
In the Voices cycle, Voices Part IV - Hallucinations continues the exploration of the voice, its resonances and transformations. Journeys through intuitions and analogies, disruptions of the senses and phantasmagoria with the words of Arthur Rimbaud, nourished by the vocal explorations of François Vaiana, accompanied by digital processing.
