[1] culminating in the premiere at the 2009 Paris Agora Festival[3] of his work With my limbs in the dark[4] for chamber ensemble, electronics and dancer, composed in collaboration with French choreographer Alban Richard.[4] Subsequently, he moved to New York for doctoral studies at Columbia University,[5] where he received further tuition from Fred Lerdahl, Tristan Murail and Fabien Lévy.[1] His doctoral thesis deals with musical temporality and its relationship with memory and perception.[6] While working on his doctorate, he undertook residencies at the Paul Sacher Foundation (Basel) to research alternative temporal/spatial notation systems and at IRCAM to develop the "Acoustic Aggregate Synthesis" system,[7] a "real-time performance tool which fuses synthetic and acoustic sound sources to achieve semi-acoustic resynthesis of a pre-defined acoustic model."[8]
Upon graduation from Columbia University, he moved to Basel, Switzerland, where he currently resides.[9] From 2016 to 2022, he served as Artistic Director of neuverBand[1], a chamber ensemble dedicated to contemporary music. In 2019, his large-scale scenic work "Portal Fantasies," composed in collaboration with cultural historian Barbara Piatti, was premiered at the Zeiträume Biennale für neue Musik und Architektur in Basel.[10] In January 2023, he accepted the post as the Artistic Director of Ensemble Recherche in Freiburg.[11]
His compositions are published by BabelScores,[12] Schweizer Musikedition[13] and the Australian Music Centre.[9]
