Across Currents is my first album recorded in Japan, created in collaboration with Takao Kurokawa in Edogawa, Tokyo.

This playlist features the complete album, blending live studio sessions with experimental visuals.

Each track explores the intersection of traditional and electronic music: Afro-Cuban, African, and Latin percussion are reimagined through sampling and synthesis, alongside Takao’s Buchla Easel Command and effects. This results in a rhythmic yet exploratory journey where two musicians from different backgrounds discover a shared musical language.

“Arepa Jeotgal” is a sonic exploration of time, improvisation, and cultural fusion. This playlist features visual interpretations of the album, blending live performances, experimental video art, and light mapping. Each track captures a unique moment, from the streets of Bologna to an intimate kitchen in Pisa, and from Kimin Han’s granular synthesis to rhythmic hourglass flows. Dive into the visuals and join the conversation between time, sound, and art.

Captured live on June 14, 2024, at Consultation Bak Art Residency in Seoul, this album marks my first recorded work in South Korea, a milestone shaped by a deeply intuitive collaboration with daegum artist Lee Ju Hang.

Sunset (일몰) is a fully improvised meeting between breath and electricity—between the centuries-old voice of the Korean daegum and a contemporary palette of experimental electronics. Together, we explore shifting textures, quiet tensions, and the subtle emotional landscapes that emerge only when two musicians meet with no script and complete openness.

Explore the captivating world of vibraphone sound manipulation through the lens of digital effects and electronic tools. This playlist showcases a series of videos where traditional vibraphone tones are transformed into dynamic, otherworldly soundscapes. Watch as I experiment with various techniques, from granular synthesis to real-time effects processing, creating innovative sonic textures and immersive atmospheres. Join me on this journey of musical exploration, where the boundaries between acoustic and digital blur to create something entirely new.
