MASS PLASMA SYNTHESIS
Inspired by the theoretical writings of Horatiu Radulescu, I have been developing a novel method for sound creation that combines elements of additive and frequency modulation synthesis. Mass Plasma Synthesis braids thousands of near-perfect rationally tuned sine waves together using infrasonically tuned ultra-low-frequency-oscillators. The parameters for this technique are in debt to both Radulescu and Karlheinz Stockhausen’s writing, but the resulting sounds are uniquely my own. I am currently working on a series of “Studies in Mass Plasma Synthesis” that can be heard on bandcamp here and here, and the technique has also been incorporated into my LP and CD releases on Mode and Black Truffle, and on the CD releases of other artists like Abigail Toll (Shelter Press).
HORATIU RADULESCU ARCHIVES
I am the official archivist and assistant editor for the Horatiu Radulescu Archives and the associated publishing company, Lucero Print. I have performed Radulescu’s works at festivals and concert series on four continents, and in 2022 released Plasmatic Music vol. 1on Mode Records (one track of which is a posthumous duo with archival recordings of Radulescu playing organ and synthesiser).
HARMONIC SPACE ORCHESTRA
The Harmonic Space Orchestra is a Berlin-based experimental research and performance collective with rational intonation at the core of its practice. I have been a member since the group’s founding in 2019, and alongside clarinet-duties I take care of documenting and archiving the groups activities. Since 2023 I have organised the series “Harmonic Space: Prime Time,” which showcases the electro-acoustic and collectively-composed sides of the HSO’s work.
