All What Remains
Sound-Art, 2020, 4-channel audio-piece
Available in stereo @soundcloud
All What Remains explores a sonic realm that humans usually choose not to hear a domain of sound that is deliberately suppressed, filtered out, or erased in the pursuit of auditory purity. These residual noises, often considered errors or imperfections, are typically removed through digital audio restoration processes in order to produce a clean and controlled listening experience.
Rather than treating these remnants as unwanted by products, the project reclaims them as its primary material. By collecting, layering, and transforming the traces left behind by noise reduction, compression, and restoration algorithms, All What Remains gives presence to what is normally discarded. The work assembles these fragments into an abstract, ambient soundscape that exists somewhere between absence and presence.
Through this process, the project questions prevailing ideas of clarity, cleanliness, and perfection in sound, while opening up a space for new and unfamiliar listening experiences. What remains after purification becomes the core of the composition revealing a hidden acoustic world shaped as much by technological intervention as by human intention.

My artistic practice spans film, sound art and installation, exploring how realities are formed through processes of selection, omission and interpretation.
I am drawn to elements that are usually unnoticed or deliberately excluded. These include abandoned urban spaces, discarded fragments of digital sound, invisible technological systems, and mediated images of distant events. By isolating and recontextualising these residual layers, I bring them into the foreground, turning absence into a central aesthetic and conceptual component.
Reconstruction from incomplete information is a recurring method in my work. Examples include architectural forms reconstructed from incomplete archival imagery, sound composed from restoration artefacts, and organic systems controlled by digital data. These serve to expose how unstable and subjective our understanding of reality can be.
Sound plays a structural role throughout my practice. I often generate compositions from the traces of physical or digital processes, transforming them through feedback and abstraction to create immersive atmospheres oscillating between familiarity and unease.
My works function as perceptual environments rather than linear narratives. They invite viewers to experience uncertainty and question how reality is mediated, constructed, and emotionally internalised.
