Sound and image

The otherpractice.

Since 1995

Introduction

Before design became the job, sound was the main thing. In Lisbon in the early 2000s I made experimental electronic music and live video, and played festivals across Europe.

Since moving to Oslo in 2005 it has been a side project. My favourite of them is the most recent: In Her Space.
