MOTION

Four Years Later · November 3, 2026

Four years ago, I released Modes of Motion, a five-movement work exploring the hidden sonic possibilities of the guitar through multiphonics, harmonics, and electronic processing.

All the sounds originate from the guitar, but they lead somewhere unexpected: shifting resonances, unusual harmonies, evolving textures, and musical gestures that seem to bend our perception of time.

Looking back, I find an interesting connection between this work and my more recent historical projects.

In IN SEARCH OF…, I explore the hidden history of the guitar — forgotten music, overlooked relationships, and discoveries waiting to be brought back into the light.

In Modes of Motion, I explore the hidden possibilities of the instrument itself.

One is a search through time. The other is a search through sound.

Both are about listening beyond the obvious and discovering what has been there all along.

This is avant-garde music. This is deep ambient listening. You might like it. :)
