For almost seven years I lived and worked in Montreal. During this time I developed multiple sound projects involving field recordings that I carried out throughout the city, both indoors and outdoors. My approach to this kind of sound material has always been the outcome of a fascination for the idea and the potential of an independent world made of sound, arising -with an entity of its own- from the actual sound, regardless of its origins and its social / environmental context. A world constituted by phenomenological and emotional properties, where sonic essence –instead of representation- is the defining feature of its imaginary geography.
