NEWS FROM BEYOND 
produced by Gob Squad and HAU

*This video is not a trailer, but a collection of significant moments from a sonic perspective.

In this production Gob Squad use their phones to send live voice messages from the urban space into the dark void of the theatre. Cut off from the world beyond, the audience witnesses a 21st century seance. The incoming messages condense into a collage of sounds, filling the empty stage and taking on a life of their own. Midway through the show the noises emerging from the surround system create the illusion that the theater is haunted.

 

 

After this first block of concrete sounds and noise, the soundscape softens with melodies I composed and arranged in a neobaroque and lo-fi electronic style, accompanying the emergence of these supposed proofs of the existence of spirits. At times, I also reworked existing pieces, such as Plantasia by the 1970s musician and medium Mort Garson. I borrowed the famous loop from Full Moon by the visionary spiritual jazzist Eden Ahbez, and finally close with La passacaglia della vita, an Italian composition from the 17th century inspired by the theme of memento mori.

DANCE GATHERING
by Alice Chauchat
IMG_0613.gif

The choreographer Alice Chaucat organise dance parties in urban spaces since 2014.
These dances are defined by stories people tell each other, before enacting them through dancing with each other. These stories are about ways of relating to each other, to each other's dancing; they are called “the gift”, “the future unison”, “telepathic dance”, etc.

Since I joined the collaboration in 2022, I have given it a soundtrack that consists of a multilayered soundscape. A sort of DJ set where songs occasionally fade into urban and natural ambiences. 

Dance Gathering was hosted by:

CURRENT Festival, Stuttgart (2025)

Radical Playground @ Gropius Bau, Berlin (2024)
Dance Happening @ Reform Moabit, Berlin (2025)

HANDLE WITH CARE
produced by Gob Squad and HAU

Together with the neighbours, Gob Squad take over HAU1 to cook, talk, eat and sing together – and to ask under which circumstances we can come together. 

The project is a "practical guide" to care, serving as an homage to the often-unseen work of caretaking in society.

​During the performance, a soup is cooked, and on a sonic level the dialogues are intentionally left indistinct, often covered by the sounds of the preparation. This is achieved through a complex system of microphones hidden in the table, which capture the sounds that I process live. The result is an alternation between moments of clarity and others in which music overwhelms both noises and dialogue. The video collects sonic highlights of key moments throughout the work.

Foley performance
for the exhibition SORTILEGIO
by Alex Cecchetti
@ FOROF, Rome

On the occasion of the exhibition opening, I was invited by artist Alex Cecchetti to produce the sounds of a forest through a live performance. The sounds produced through the art of foley were then manipulated and looped in real time.

Residency and study for a foley performance RETTILARIUM
with Sara Leghissa
Screen Shot 2020-07-02 at 14.07.19.png

"The reptile house is a space where the life of small animals becomes the object of human attention. In that occasion, performer Sara Leghissa invites the audience both inside and outside the « Rettilario», to shift their perception from one scale to another, from the macro to the microscopical, and back. In doing so, the nature of what we can see and hear slides into new territories, more abstract, less defined, colours, shapes, structures, textures, rhythmic patterns, that defamiliarize the way we apprehend our own surroundings and makes room for their artificiality. To explore those issues, the artist draws from the practice of foley, or the reproduction of everyday sound effects to dub films. Through an experience of overlapping between different soundscapes and the daily life of the city, a voice is given to the humanity that passes through it.

Soundscape  for  'Très bien éclairé ' a performance of Arantxa Martinez 

PICNIC SESSION @ CA2M, Madrid 2017
PICNIC SESSION 29JUN17_50-1.jpg

Très bien éclairé is the framework in which Arantxa brings together the different body fictions she has been creating around the idea of the hybrid body. These fictions, independent of each other and far from the theatrical apparatus, are figures in which the body stands out as a product and creator of its own fiction, hybrid inventions that explore processes of penetration and interweaving between body and object.
