Lydlandskaber LP | Workshops
Welcome to my humble corner of the internet!
On this page you can delve into my explorations of sound and circuits.
Most things I do are centered around sound in one way or another, even if the sound itself is sometimes a side effect of my studies. I find that I often get the most inspired in the middle of troubleshooting some circuit - thus many of my works are made with things being in a half-broken state, connected with alligator clips and held together with duct tape.
Along with the sound aspect of my practice, the do-it-yourself approach, is something that seems very natural to me; I like to build stuff from scratch, to design my own instruments and make my own discoveries. In the beginning I started building synthesizers out of curiosity, and for myself only, but it has evolved a lot since then, and now I have designed several synthesizers and a whole modular system. The instruments are all available as DIY-kits.
A central part of my practice is the sharing of knowledge.
Through workshops on sound - mainly on building synthesizers and other sound electronics I strive to share my passion for building my own sounds from scratch; from basic electronic components.
I have performed and conducted workshops many places around the world including Copenhagen, Reykavik, Moscow, Malmø, Rotterdam and Berlin.
Additionally I run the local hackerspace in Copenhagen focused on sound - the CPH Music Maker Space.
I have also done workshops and consulting work for the Royal Danish Arts Academy as part of the Sounding Bodies Research w/ Jenny Gräf.
If you are interested in booking me for a concert, exhibition or workshop, please get in touch!
When performing live, I perform on my homebuilt synthesizers, usually with my modular playing the main role. I like to start with no cables plugged in, to engage the audience in my journey of sound. It is not unlike colours and shapes emerging on a blank canvas, seemingly out of nowhere.
Currently I'm on a post graduate diploma on RMC in Copenhagen, where I research the music inherent in the circuits I design.
