555 bugs

555 bugs

In 555 bugs, I use found objects and self build electro-acoustic instruments to create a landscape where elementary materials find new meanings in spontaneous connections between each other. They interact, move, resonate and produce tiny sounds: rustling, crunching, squeaking, cracking. Objects become something else, specific sonic creatures with their own qualities. The subtle and repetitive soundscape brings the listener into a world of menthol buzzers, one-eye sirens, lemon tadpoles, ginger tigers, plastic bugs and other insects.

I perform with 555 bugs live and create site-specific installations, where objects resonate the space and the space resonates the objects. The project was developed during a research-residency in Overtoon during 2020.
